Rear ABS sensor removal
So I am starting to realize how much the weather has done to my car over the years. This wheel bearing change would take 20 minutes if everything wasn't seized and up. I can not get the rear passenger side ABS sensor out. I tried rotating it but almost snapped the housing. If anyone has run into this problem and knows a good technique let me know. Thanks.

I did my rear wheel bearings and abs sensors last week.
Sensors snapped off trying to remove them. Had to drill them out. The bolt holding the sensors in also snapped off. Had to drill the bolts out and retap.
Couldn't get the wheel bearings out with my 6 ton press. Took them to a shop, who needed twenty minutes with a blow torch and a 20 ton press to get them out.

Remove the axle from the upright and you can spray, heat, and tap the sensor from the inside out. Hitting it with spray on both ends and tapping lightly with a hammer and punch from multiple directions should work, if not, add a little heat to the picture.
