Kev64 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 As title says,what's involved any special tools? How long would this take?Thanking you guys in advance,Kev. Quote
Kev64 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 OK, disconected at the plug end underneath, then unscrewed the allen headed screw at the other end, but still won't pull out? Looking at the new one there dosesn't seem to be anything else holding it in? Any ideas how to get it out would be much appreciated as I have an MOT at 3pm tomorrow ;) cheers,Kev. Quote
cyborg Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Hi, use a blow torch and melt it a bit or use a small drill bit drill top & bottom but not middle of sensor, then you must get rid of all metal filling residue before fitting new sensor-magnet... Quote
Kev64 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks Cyborg,I heated the metal surrounding the sensor a little bit, but still didn't move. I resulted in your second suggestion and drilled it out little by little. Time consuming, but well worth the hassle. Cleaned out the hole with WD40 and dryed, and then when I drove to around 20 mph the ABS light went out. Result. Saved me a few quid. The sensor cost me Edited February 9, 2012 by Kev64 Quote
