I have created an album, hopefully. The first batch of pictures shows the condition as it went in to the garage http://s61.photobucket.com/user/david_t ... ibrary/GVN I have started stripping the car down and today the powder coating guy called round and picked up the subframe, suspension arms and a few brackets plus the wheels |

It took 2 goes as I wasnt happy with the first effort, the second one has turned out great though |

De rusting of the underside has been going on for a few weeks and in the process I snagged the wire to the ABS sensor and pulled it out. I was planning on removing the sensor to see if reconnecting is possible but the sensor isnt budging Is there a special technique involved? |

Lots of penetrating fluid possibly a bit of careful heat? I know these can be a real pain to get out. |

Thanks, just being careful in case they screwed out on a left hand thread or something equally non intuitive lol |

I have recently removed all 4 sensors to check them - recommend carefully applying constant gentle prising pressure with a screwdriver whilst also very slightly twisting forwards and backwards... got all 4 out without incident The sensors are not screwed into the hub, they're a push fit held in place by the securing bolt you have depicted above. Good luck! |
