How To Remove A Broken ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

removal of a snapped ABS sensor

[@TopCatFCD]

Blowtorch + Screw until red hot then quickly screw in (carefully!) into the plastic broken part. Let it cool until hard, then slowly pull whole thing out

I had to replace an abs sensor on my 1998 BMW E36, had been putting it off for a while and I used your technique, works an absolute treat, your a life saver

Thank you for posting this great video, really helpful on those often fiddly rusted up sensors that have been there since the Titanic sunk,and like the ill Fated Ship, they're not budging!! please do continue posting more great videos, 🙂👍

2011 Tacoma sensor snapped off when removing it. Your fix worked PERFECTLY! Thank you so much! Cheers from Vancouver, Canada. 🙂

Bless ya, luv - having this exact issue with a stuck sensor, didn’t think to try vice grips! Thanks!

[@maxagent86]

If you drill an additional, smaller hole towards the edge of the broken sensor, you relieve the vacuum behind it, making it much easier to pull it out with the screw.

[@Jez2008UK]

Sounds like a good idea - you'd need to be very careful you don't damage the side of the hole, and that you don't introduce debris inside where the hub shaft is.

Small slide hammer gripped onto the screw works well too.

This is great. Very clear. Worked like a charm. Bonus: Saved my neighbors from hearing me swear even more!

Just replaced my Abs sensor a week ago just drilled it out quickly not to wasting time putting a screw in there because it's too rusty and doesn't work like a charm.

[@chaseolivas3950]

so i did this exactly the same way before watching this and the middle of it snapped out in a circle. so frustrating trying to drill it out now

[@nigelphillips9426]

Ood advice thanks

[@isaackubik1009]

Yea I screwed it up trying that cold, and now it's partly still in

[@RickvanderValk14]

i broke the screw trying this now i have broken sensor and broken screw in the plastic..urgh

[@Jez2008UK]

Did you type this in another video - your's is the 2nd one I've just read claiming to have broken the screw...

[@ryanfortin9166]

Should probably spray some brake cleaner to try cleaning out that hole

[@Swissk31300BO]

You would have to replace your entire driveshaft just because of the sensor if you went too far? What kind of fucking engineering goes into that that’s absurd
