___ Do ABS sensors get rusted in place, OR WHAT ! ! !
Big mistake I made . .
Thought I'd slip one of my rear ABS sensors out of a '95 Odyssey. Two
bolts, clean and inspect, put back in and check the clearance. Not so.
Broke the steel plate off, sensor still wouldn't come out. Couldn't even
get the 'remains' out with a chisel and sledge hammer. Too bad it wasn't
mounted in a couple of O-rings instead of fitting 'snug'. The rust had
locked it in there permanently. I finally destroyed it one whack at a
time (without sacrificing the tone ring) and now I'm shopping for a new
sensor. Some things mortals should never mess with.
End of confession :-(
