ABS Sensor Stuck

[Dave]

Any magic to getting these things out? One of mine slid out easily, the other is stuck. I have WD-40'd it. No luck. Any ideas are appreciated.

Try twisting them?

I just sorta carefully pried mine out using a screw driver and twisted them.

Should come out, since they shouldn't be dirty.

Chop it up and buy another one? ;)

Try PB-Blaster'ing it and then lightly tap on the braket with something to introduce some rotation that should brake it loose.

Did that - it turns around but will not come out. Oh well, I replaced that strut housing/hub anyway. I'll just leave it in for the next guy.

That's it! That's the way to do it. ;)

If/when I sell the e30, I'm gonna hit the entire undercarraige of the car with a power washer full of salt water before it goes.

Just out of spite.

No - I am selling the old strut housings and hubs. I have a new one on the car that needs the sensor that was stuck in the old one. (Until Alex sold me one of his spares).

The next guy is the guy who gets my strut housings.
