I wanted to remove the sensor to get the hub on a bench to remove a carbide drill bit I broke off in an easy out that I broke off of the heat shield bolts that I broke off in the hub.

Last night I shattered the drill bit with a punch, drilled it out with a bigger carbide drill bit and tried another easy out. Dumb. Broke it off too. Drilled out with the same carbide bit, took a die grinder and a couple of diamond tools and made the hole close to original, ran a drill through it and re-tapped it. It was almost like chasing the threads. Done and no more need to pull the sensor.

I intended to pull all the A arms and the sub frame to R&R the rubber but I think I will just do the jobs one at a time only because of the abs sensor.

I hope I didn't damage the sensor... Is it easy t test?

I do have a question about the heat shield. Mine broke a weld or something and the hub rubbed part of the heat sheld away that covers the ABS marks. Is this part important? could I just tack it dowqn and re-install it or should it be replaced?
