Default Removing the ABS sensor

Hola muchachos,

My sig isn't showing up so I'll tell you, mine is a '94 V12 coupe, UK spec.

I'm at the part of the tear-down where I drop the front and rear subframes. And I'm stuck on the bloody ABS sensors.

I've undone the bolt, doused in WD40 and juuuust about managed to get it to shift a tiny touch, but the little buggers are hanging on like limpets.

How do you get them off, do they just pull? Anyone found a good way to get any grip on them?

Try soaking it in some PB Blaster. WD40 isn’t made for what you’re looking for.

People have had outstanding success with Kroil as well.

Disconnect the other end of the cables from the interior. Lift the back seat, disconnect and pass through the floor grommets on both sides. this will be easier in the front because you don't have to remove any interior parts.
You have to soak from the underside. where the sensor sits inside the up right.

Thank you.
