Rear ABS sensor stuck

[SankysVR6 1]

My ABS light has been on for a couple of weeks now, had it on vagcom and it came up with rear left sensor faulty. So last night I thought I'd try and take it off and give it a bit of clean, got the bolt out but the sensor wouldn't budge. Tried wedging it with screwdriver and soaking it with WD40 but still no joy.

Ended up with sensor breaking, is there another way that sensor comes out or is it just stuck in. And will I have to take the rear disc off to get to the rest of the sensor now, and if I am taking the rear disc off will I have to take the bearings out of the old discs as they were replaced back in August 05.

Exact same thing happened happened to me sanks, had to drill the old sensor out! Right pain.

Give me a call on me mob tomorow mate, i'll go thru it with ya, Not too sure what ya mean about the bearings? Did you have new discs and keep the old bearings?

Cheers Pete will give you call form the works phone tomorow.

As for the bearings i can't remember if had to take the bearing out to get the discs off when i last changed the discs and pads :$ . So if i have to take the bearing out to get the disc off i might aswell change that at the same time.

I'd change bearings if your doing rear discs, so much easier
