Well it was a struggle to get the old one out.
Tried drilling and tapping in a screw to lever it out, but ended up bending the screw. Was worried the head of the screw would snap off, so resorted to drilling the sensor out, halfway.
Then tried the screw again, and eventually it came out.

Now, the question.....how tight should a new abs sensor be when going in?

I can only get mine in 1/4”, before it gets silly tight.
I’ll try a bit of sandpaper around a drill bit tomorrow, to make sure the hole in the hub is totally clean.
(Darkness beat me tonight).

Failing that, would it be ok to file off a bit of the body of the sensor?
