how do you remove the front drivers side ABS sensor?

[fuey]

I had a look/go at it this morning.

I removed the bolt from the side, scraped away some rust, but the thing wouldn't pop out the back (used plenty of wd40).

Am I doing it right?

Also, if someone knows of the correct method, can the same technique be applied to the passenger side ABS removal?
Cheers

It will come out with just a bit of force and patience.

wd40 it all up.....

I have to do it tonight, but basically - soak in wd40, undo the allen bolt, wiggle it free.

are both front abs sensors the same?
(cudn't wiggle it out, so destroyed it with a chisel)

I think they might be handed... I can't remember

normally brutality is best, the casting corrodes v easily

The Macht parts on ECP seem soooo much cheaper, are they the same parts, do they do the same job?

I think those may be just the sensor with no wiring, thats why there so cheap, thats what the guy at ecp told me

 

[fuey]

12.13 inc vat + del
(both front abs sensors - not the wiring bits)

cheers Lee !!!
