Broken ABS sensor

joymij · July 19th, 2011, 12:33 AM

My abs light has been on for months because a shop broke mine and didnt have the part in stock, It was kind of far from my house so instead of going back to have him do it when he got the part he said he would take it out of the price for the repair.

I was doing it myself, I took off the bolt connecting it and tried to pull it out, and it snapped in half. I tried to pull it out needle-nose pliers but couldn't get a grip on it, has this happened to anyone and any ideas on how to get it out?

Yup, those suckers are a pain....get some penetrating fluid (PB blaster, etc. is good), keep soaking it, longer the better....then try and get some channel lock pliers( grab the part that is still sticking out ), the trick is to actually twist it slowly (clock wise and counterCW), then slowly twist it out, keep spaying it with the penetrant fluid. After you get it out, try and get some sand paper or scotch brite pad and clean out the bore.
