Default ABS sensor removal

I am in the process of removing all my suspension arms, and before i remove the upper arms, i need to get the abs sensor out, and I can't seem to pry any of them off!

Am i missing something, how much abuse can this take without breaking? i've Always thought they were quite fragile, so don't want to break them.

By the way i have removed the obvious bolt!

Cheers

I had a go and immediately broke it despite being extremely delicate! Stupid things

If your only removing your arm's then the sensor can stay put (unless your having the hub powder coated) just remove the two bolts holding the wire to the top arm,

I have recently removed all 4 of mine without problems as I was painting my hubs etc, I tapped them gently on the side with a small hammer and then used a flat blade screwdriver to prise them out carefully, upon refitting make sure you measure the gap between the tip of the sensor and the abs ring as if it is more than 1.0mm then it will throw as ABS light on the dash.

This worked for me, if you break one they are needless to say a fortune from Honda. Good luck

I've managed to get a few out without breaking. Spray loads of plus gas around. Try tapping the elongated end gently on the side with a hammer/punch. If you can get it to move go back and forth a few times to get it moving. Then push it up from the bottom, again it may need a gentle tap. Don't forget the plastic will be a bit more brittle in the cold so it may be worth warming it slightly aswell.

Good luck
