Afternoon all!

I'm looking at taking out the front ABS sensors to give then a clean to see if it helps with an intermittent ABS light that keeps appearing randomly. I've got as far as removing the bolt with the allen key head, but have now got a little stuck as the sensor itself appears to be pretty firmly stuck into the hub.

Have I missed something else that you need to remove first, or does it just require a little bit of 'persuading' to get it out. Don't want to force it too much in case it breaks.

Cheers.

your right in what your doing.There is only one bolt but corrosion may lock it in place.

9 times out of 10 they break, the sensor is only plastic and the only way really to get the out is with the hub in pieces.

Thanks for the replies. Have decided to clean it as best as I can with it in place and see how it goes. MOT due v soon so don't want to risk snapping it right now!

they break and then the hole needs sometimes a bit of cleaning up to get the new greased up sensor in again...

intermittant light?? then clean up the toothed ring and recheck the wheel bearings too... disconnect + reconnect the sensors to clean the contacts up..

....if that doesnt work....

....then get vagcom :-)
