Rear ABS Sensor

[skyrex]

I'm trying to R&R the rear bearings and seals. I need to remove the rear ABS senors to get enought slack to remove the C-lock on the inner end of the axle shafts in the differential. Then I can pull the axles and get to the bearings and seals.

I removed the "E" type bolt holding the sensor, but the sensor won't budge. I'm guessing its frozen in the caliper backing plate, if it's one piece. I've done the usual twisting and prying. Anyone know????????????? Solutions???????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

penetrating oil, and lots of patience...

in all honesty most guys give them 15-30 minutes then just break them out...

Try what Chis mentioned but sometimes they just wont budge.... I have used a pc of flat stock and been able to drive them out from the back....If that fails then I get pissed and wail on them with Vise-Grips til in pcs....

They can found at salvage yards if things get ugly... ...

Use a wood dowel and hammer them out.
