ABS-frontwheel sensor cables 745 TDI 1989 how to remove

745 TDI 1989 Bosch ABS with new style sensors.

I have located my low speed ABS-engaging problem to the left wheel sensor or cable. Right sensor cable connection in engine compartment opened, resistance in wheel sensor circuit 1100 Ohm, ok. Left side no current going through, so left side cable (very probable, since insulation damaged) or wheel sensor out of order. I want to locate further and measure the cable and sensor separately so I have to get access to the connection between cable and sensor. I could easily open the Allen (? hexagonal hole) screw but could not remove the plastic cover on the sensor, into which the cable disappears. Of course I could not remove the wheel sensor without removing hub etc. I do not yet want to remove the hub etc and do not want to have to remove the sticking sensor myself, if not necessary. If I could access the connection between cable and sensor I could measure resistances in cables and sensor separately and decide what to purchase and change. I have heard the cables are soldered in place, correct? Or plugged?

Thanks for any input.

The sensor comes with about 5 feet of cable. Locate the plug by following the wire.
