ABS sensor woes.
Hi all, After my ABS light came on followed by the no speedo & wobbly fuel gauge I set about changing the O/S front ABS sensor, The problem I am having is getting the old one out, I tried drilling a hole & inserting a screw but the plastic just fell to bits, So what have I got to do now to get whats left of the old one out?, , , , ,Many Thanks.

Near enough all of the time you have to fully drill the whole thing out.

The bits end-up in the hub and if you are really lucky (un) will eventually damage the magnetic strip. I've tried drilling them out, using self-taping screws etc but the last few mm fell into the hub. Now I just take the hub off, not fun I know, but in the end takes less time.
Good luck |

I have just drilled them out in the past and blew the bits out with air or brake cleaner. So it doesn’t damage the abs ring.
