Is it ok to drill out at 11mm diam or use a rotary file to remove it? The sensor is 40mm long but the last 12mm is oval shaped, would I do any damage if I went deeper than that or if I did any slight damage to the walls if filing ? If my 11mm drilling went the full depth of 40mm how would that affect the last 12mm oval?

My local garage has closed so I'm having to try this myself and doing it with the disc etc in situ .

In hind sight I think I should have just cut the cable where it was damaged and soldered a new joint in the hope that it would have worked.....

All advice really welcomed
I had to drill as good as to the end of the sensor to get one of my front ones out.

The rears are much easier - blind punch and a lump hammer shifts them.
