rear abs sensor
i had to recently replace the rear in my 91 f150. i just replaced the whole unit with a used one which had been sitting outside for a while. i tapped side to side with a chisel to get the abs sensor loose after taking the bolt out of the top. it broke loss very easily. i then tried to gently pull the sensor out. which again happened very easily. then i looked in the hole and half the sensor was still in there. now. what is the best way to remove it. i was thinking about drilling a hole and threading it and using a puller but i think it is a magnet and will be hard as hell. anyi deas. the manual says just pull it out but mentions nothing of it breaking. thanks for any and all info.

i did change the oil in it. i changed it and then tried to remove the sensor. so i didn't really want to pull the cover back off if i couldn't get to the inside of the housing. i was thinking that the carrier was in the way and there would be no way to tap on the sensor to get it to pop out. i was just wondering if anyone has run into this problem and if i needed to remove the carrier.

Same thing happened to me when trying to hunt down a bouncing speedo. I was able to grab the outer metal shell with some needlenose pliers and just worked it out. I don't believe the magnet was left in mine, but you will probably have to get that out first. The new ones have plastic shells on them. Hope I could help.
