Default Remove the ABS sensor

I have read a few threads in here regarding removal of the ABS sensor.

It looks like there is a common challenge to get the old one out without it breaking up.

So my question is. Is there any other way of getting it out after it has broken then drilling it out?

If you drill it out, do i use the same diameter on the drill as the sensor?

Is it as easy as measuring the length of the new sensor and to mark the drill with some tape to avoid drilling to deep?

What about the particles that the drill and the old sensor will leave. Do i need to remove it and how do i do that?

Safest way is to remove the hub and push the sensor from inside.This avoids damaging the reluctor ring.I found this out the hard way,had to buy a used hub cos I damaged the ring.

I have never managed to get one out in one piece I usually use a drill bit slightly smaller than the sensor and add tape for the depth, once the main bits of the sensor is out of the way you can then use a small screwdriver to lever the remains out. - Be carefull and take your time and it will be fine

Easy for rear wheels, a big job for the fronts.
