ABS Wheel Sensor Bolt Head Snapped Off..

Post by rg »

Folks,

Any tips on removing the remains of the bolt? There does not seem enough
space around the track-rod end to get a drill chuck past it.

I have already collapsed the sensor and got that out.

Done!

15 minutes of heat, tweak with mole grips, ease back and forth. "Basted" with penetrating fluid for two days

In the end, I "backed" it out gently rather than driving it in further and out the other end.

In gripping it tight with the mole grips, I had inadvertently crimped a couple of flats onto the end. Some testimony to the poor quality of the material, my "King Kong" grip, or a bit of both.
