Hi
I have a problem.
My 92 Buick Roadmaster has ABS. The front wheel on the passanger side was diagnosed with a defective speed sensor. I read on the newsgroups that it most likely needs to be cleaned and that it isn't really defective. I have tried to remove it and have succeded in breaking the sensor. Now, I need to replace it. About $70, damn it.
My question is, How do I get the remains of the sensor out of the hole? I have removed the side screw. Hell, I have broken the sensor off almost even with the positioning hole.
One thought is to drill the remains of the sensor out of the positioning hole from the inside of the wheel well. But I am unsure if that may damage something of the other side of the hole.
Another is to remove the rotor and I may be able to get to the sensor to pound it out. Or maybe drill it out.
I have tried to remove the sensor with WD40 and other rust breakers to no effect. The remains of the sensor are still in the hole.
Any suggestions on how to get the remains of the sensor out?
