ABS Sensor and Lower Ball Joint HELP
So, I'm changing my lower ball joint and cv shafts this weekend and ran into a little problem. I trying to get the knuckle off so I can remove the ball joint but the ABS sensor is stuck. I unbolted the 3 bolts holding it in but it is still stuck. I saw removal instructions for the front knuckles and it looks like the sensor comes right out. I'm worried about breaking the wire. Anyone done this before that had the same issue. Also if the sensor wire breaks how easy is it to replace. Thanks for any info.

Ok so that didn't work. I ended up breaking the sensor. That's ok I can figure that out later. I'm no longer worried about that. Now I cannot get the bolt through the strut fork it is like fused on there. I tried hammering it and I put PB Blaster. Anyone have any idea how to deal with that.

Ok guys this whole project has become the biggest pain in the ass. I can't get the bolt out that goes through the strut fork. I used some heat off my map gas torch and all that accomplished is the is spun the bolt around and the bushing is still attached. So I have to change the bushing which I found a Advanced for $20. But the bolt is still in there and I cannot hammer that bitch out
. Also I am changing the lower ball joints and they are pressed in but it seems that the plate or shield or whatever it is is in the way of pressing the ball joint out out. The plate is on the back of the wheel bearing. I have done all sorts of service before including the 105K service. So this should be easy. Please HELP ME. Any tips or suggestion would be great. Thanks Guys
