Mar 2011 at 12:37 Can you even get a slight indentation in the edge with a sharp chisel Nige? All you are looking for obviously is the start of a bite so that you can apply some rotational twattings with a heavy club hammer/chisel combo to start it off.....

Are you close enough to the kitchen to heat up a steel bar to redhot on the hob, and then apply it to the bearing?

If it's started to move you've done the hardest bit! Get a chisel in the gap and keep going around Thumbs Up!

As for the sensor... Sad

Think You'll be needing SWTSMBO's car anyway Roll Eyes

But you'll be able to get it all back together and replace the sensor when you get it... May not have ABS though Roll Eyes

I say may because it might still pick up OK until it gets some water inside it

As already stated by others, the usual trick is a small cut with a grinder and then a cold chisel in the cut. If it is moving then keep hitting it!

Now I've seen the picture I'd definitely get the grinder out. I wouldn't try a simple slit into it though, you're bound to grind something else that you don't want grinding Roll Eyes

. Use an ordinary disc ie not slitting disc & grind a nice big flat on it till your flat is almost ready to grind a flat onto the stub axle. You'll know when you're nearly there cos the thinnest bit - in the middle of the flat - will be blue due to the heat and then gradually going through dark & light straw colours towards the edges. Although a small flat on the stub axle won't do any harm, it's best avoided so just before it breaks though hit the inner with your hammer & drift, the heat generated will have helped, & you'll either split it or it'll have expanded enough to be removed. Thumbs Up!

Thanks to all ... B*****d thing is now off !!

Combination of all the ideas ... 6" grinder blade (ony metal one I've got) wouldn't get in very well but enough to make a dent or two on the top surface.. also got it nice and hot ... then alternate twatting in both directions with a cold chisel in those dents and it eventually started to rotate a tad.. lots of plus gas and more twatting ..alternating with the claw hammer behind it to ease it forward.

Not a fun job. Who said it came off easily ??

If you have one I'll willing purchase it ... unprotected its bound to fail .. even if it works now !!!

Looks like its changeable from the rear without taking the hub apart .. again ..

Think you may have to whip the disc off Nige & drive the old one out. When you fit the replacement sensor (tight) make sure the bolthole is lined up

Scrub that, I damaged it whilst removing Embarrassed

Seems (unless mine was particularly seized) that drifting the old one out isn't going to work Embarrassed
