front ABS sensors......ARRRGGGHHH!!

[Zip]

....christ, why didn't anyone tell me how bloody difficult it is to get the front sensors out of my 2002 s8...?

Drivers sides, had to take caliper, disc and dust shield off to get enough leverage with my grips (and thick screwdriver to prize out at the same time). Sensor now chewed to b**gery, and mounting plate (with grub screw hole) now cracked.

Excellent.

Now on to passenger side...

Manage to strip one of the 10mm hex heads on the brembo calipers. Arrgh!! How the hell do I get that shifted now? Down to a garage with some
airtools, me thinks.

Anyway, all reassembled after a couple of gallons of WD40, brake cleaner, and copper grease, and ABS errors have gone and all ok.

Still need to get that caliper off...

So...who's got the best FL ABS sensor removal technique....?
