Hi Andy.
Now you have seemed to remove the sensor by drifting it out, you just need to clean the hole ready for a new sensor to be fitted.

As above choose a decent sensor either from Rimmers or from DMGRS.

1

2

3

4

bit of copper grease on some wire wool.
5

Wrap it round a file round one if you have one, and clean out the hole of rust.
6

Fit the new sensor.
7

Clean up any rust on the back plate etc before adding the new sensor, in this case a new bearing had to be fitted as well.

One of mine was seized. I put on a socket large enough to fit over the sensor, a thick washer above the socket and then screwed in a self tapping screw. As I screwed in the self tapper it pulled out the sensor. To make sure that there was plenty of bite I used a long screw. When the sensor was about halfway out I just bunged a few more washers on to control the depth of the screw.

Ah, I did wonder why we suddenly had lots of Rear ABS Sensors going in the post!

The story behind these is quite incredible - we were offered a full container of MG Rover old stock, however as it was sealed over in a Chinese warehouse we had no idea what was inside.
We 'lucky dipped' and got some rather unusual odds and ends - and 1,200 Rear ABS Sensors

They've been a great alternative to the aftermarket parts we've had some trouble with over the years - don't get me wrong, some are fine and I'm sure Rimmers will only sell parts they're confident in.
It's just good to have an original 2005 part available for buttons, rather than the XPart RRP which used to be rather high (however is now thankfully lower).

Hi Steve.
I presume you had to cut the ABS wiring close to the enter point to fit over a socket, and used a wood screw with a flat/domed head.

I used a self taper bolt on a front ABS sensor before which work to certain degree, you first need to drill an hold into ABS sensor other wise using any screw will just act the same as putting a screw into a rawl plug and spread out the sensor making it even tighter, when i tried to pry it out it just pulled out the centre.

Also on the front you must clean up and debris as you go, with a brush or even better an hoover, i removed the bolt and then used a longer screw remembering the depth so not to go completely through other wise the end would spread out.
4

it came out slowly.
5

even it had started to spread on the end.
6

Hole must be hoovered out and clean before adding a new ABS sensor
7

8

copper grease the sensor some what.

You can do the same with the rear but in my opinion it is always best to remove the disc drum so you can check the back plate for any rust and debris which maybe stuck to the magnet on the bearing.
