HELP! - broke front ABS Sensor off

I was attempting to replace the front abs sensor on my '03 Excursion 4x4 when it broke off inside the hole. I tried grabbing the plastic surrounding the magnet, but it just kept breaking off.

Any ideas how I can get it out?

thanks

drive a screw into it and pull it out. That might work.

Thank you all. It was the solid metal part that was stuck. I was able to get in there with a tiny screw driver to get things loosened up. After that, I was able to pry it up and get it out.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I did get it out. Here is a pic of what it looked like when it was still stuck.

Glad to hear it worked out. They can be a PITA...just wait until you accidentally snap the ear tab screw and lodge that into the housing!! Ask me how fun THAT is!
