I was removing the dreded speed sensor from my Focus 1.8 Zetec, I managed the pin ok, but when it came to removing the sensor only the top half came out . So now I have half a speed sensor in my hand and half stuck in the g/box housing Can anybody help with suggestions on how I can get the remainder out????????.

All ideas greatly needed. cheers........

 

the only way i used to get them out at work was to drill a hole careful down the centre of the sensor,get a nice thick bolt and screw it into the hole then from underneath using a drift and hammer tap the head of the bolt til it comes out

 

Hi B19 JUB,

Thanks for the advice, I will have a go today and I will post the result of the job here later.
Cheers.

 

put it back together and then book into ford to get the job done and claim they caused it pmsl

 

 

I like the idea , but knowing my luck something else would go wrong and that would cost me even more money and pain !!!!!

 

I have been trying to get the remainder of my spped sensor out for the last hour and a half and it still wont budge I have no skin left on my knuckles and run out of swear words

 

wey hay, I've done it ... Thanks for the advice guys, after drilling the remainder of the sensor I put the biggest bolt into it and give it a tug, and out it came... won't be doing that job in a hurry again..

Once again thanks for the advice...

 

welcome

 

I was gonna say put a straw on it and SUCKKKKKKKKKKK hard LOL
