Default How do I remove the ABS sensor and.....

How do I remove the rear ABS sensor and the joint holding the upright in.

I don't see any bolts for the sensor and it won't pop out.

This is the passenger side rear wheel, the joint I'm talking about technically is next to the sway bar mounting point on the upright. Its on a balljoint looking thing.

Any ideas?

You should go ahead and buy a new sensor because you are going to break that one

I should have one bolt in it but if not it will just pull out

Try using some penetrating lube and pliers

I'll try that.

I guess I'll try a tie rod end puller or something or that joint.

I got it all apart.

The sensor pissed me off and really wouldnt come out, so I ripped it out. I lost all of my patience so a new ABS sensor is defenitly in order now.

You can see pieces of it circled. Pieces of the CV and bearing. The partially non existent bearing and gouged rotor.
