Default Broken ABS sensor

While replacing my rear wheel bearing, I broke the ABS sensor off. It was frozen to the housing, and now I just have a meatl stud sticking up. I replaced the top part of the sensor - just putting it back over the stud, but now I get the ABS light - 2 questions:
1. How do I remove the remaining part of the sensor left in the housing?
2. After I remove the remaining part of the sensor, how do I get to the connector for the new sensor? The wire looks like it goes into the vehicle near the rear seat - maybe under it. How do I get there?

Default Drill the sensor, tap it, thread a bolt in and work it out.

Its just a chunk of magnet. It gets stuck in easily. And just replace with a new sensor completely.
