Default Need some help with ABS speed sensor removal, any suggestions?

My ABS is acting up at low stopping speeds and from what I've been reading it sounds like the ABS Speed sensors. I tried to take one of the front ones out but it didnt want to move, and I didnt want to break it. Any one have some advice on how to remove these w/o busting them. Also, once I have them out what is the best way to clean them? or to even know if thats what is the problem?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ian

VAG-COM can tell you which one is acting up.

You can monitor each sensor in realtime as you bring the car to a stop.

Is this something only the dealer would have?

Default Nope. Lots of folks have VAG-COM or ProDiag.

Post on your local forum and see if someone nearby will help you.
