Removal of rear abs sensor!

They're known to be difficult to get them out. If too much force is applied, they brake and are trash.

 

What i did: I pressed them out from the inner side of the wheel hub. Therefore i took a 12mm 1/4" nut, held it to the inner side of the sensor. Then i used a piece of metal i held to the nut's end long enough to reach 5 mm close to the opposite side of the hub. There i rhythmically and carefully leveraged with a flat screwdriver. It takes one or two minutes and the sensor starts moving an pops out without having been damaged.

By no means you may try to turn them in their seat. If done so, they'll break.

 

This method worked fine on two totally corroded j-spec wheel hubs.
