Rear abs sensor stuck. Help.

[Steve_h80]

Need to get the rear wheel off.
Undone and removed the bolt holding the abs sensor in place, only today the sensor doesn't want to just slide out!!!
I've stepped away from the shed and opened a beer before I end wrecking something!
And advice on getting the damned thing to move?

You can still get the rear wheel off , I do it when changing tires .

Yep, the disc should swing aside with the sensor still installed. A good soaking with a penetrating oil and some judicious twisting back and forth should work it loose. If not, at least you're not stuck.

Cheers guys.
I knew leaving it, drinking beer and asking for help would get results.
In fact I may have another beer to celebrate ::003::

I had exactly the same yesterday. Managed to get the wheel out with the sensor in its hub. On refitting I found the sensor wire to be a bit on the tight side to get the hub back in so gently with some standard pliers managed to pull the sensor away from the hub. The delicate part is protected inside the hub. No significant damage to the sensor cable or surround. Hope you got it all sorted?
