Removing Rear ABS Speed Sensor

[bowser]

I'm trying to remove the rear upright and am having trouble removing the abs speed sensor. I have taken the retaining bolt out, should it just pull straight out now? Anyone have any advice on how to get it unstuck?

Thanks for any help...

they are a pain in the ass. you can try using a pair of pliers or vice grips but make sure you don't grab the sensor itself. instead grab at the base of the sensor and gently try to work it loose. if that doesn't work, the wires connect underneath the rear seat. just take it out and disconnect the wire clip and take the whole thing out.

Your right on this one.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up just pulling the wires out...better than risking damage to the sensors, from what I've seen they're quite pricey.

I successfully removed my ABS Speed sensor, it was not that bad as I expected... Thanks for the tip!
