These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had a wheel speed sensor which was seized in an upright with a snapped bolt. I used a jig I had made to get it out, this is how I did it. MC

POST 2Original post

Will you be renting out this jig as well The old sensor put up a bit of a fight. I wondered if a blow lamp would have melted the plastic - the hub must get pretty hot anyway dealing with brake heat. I get a very occasional abs vibration through the pedal, usually when its been washed or hit a bump while on the brakes. I went to undo the front o/s sensor bolt and it wouldnt budge so think removal will involve a drill! Good video - thanks for posting!

POST 3Original post

Thanks for posting this. Are you able to get additional Jigs made up?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes. If a few people are interested I'll get a price. MC

POST 5Original post

Have you had chance to consider manufacturing a few?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, I'll get a price if people are interested. MC

POST 7Original post

Hello I love the Jig! I wonder if it fits a 993? I know the early 993 speed sensors are metal bodied and the absolutely corrode in solidly, but the later ones are plastic. I would have thought the 996 ones would be plastic bodied. Im surprised they are so hard to get out. I think using a blowtorch on these is always a good idea. Assuming you do not melt your brake lines etc. Use sensible heat shielding. Once the plastic is soft enough you can pull the very hard crystalline magnetic centre out. Its a horrible job however you do it. That jig is really great though! I would also be interested! Whoever made that up should look at doing one for the manifold bolts. Looks like a quality item. Thanks for posting. Berni

POST 8Original post

The pulse sensor on the crankcase is just as bad. It's plastic but buckles when soldly stuck.

POST 9Original post

Any chance this can be done while the knuckle is on the car? My bolt is so corroded I cant even get to the point that the head snaps off

POST 10Original post

I'm in! Happy to pay in advance. I am fully convinced that if I don't support you doing this today, my sensor will fail tomorrow. Great video. I love your "apprentices" slippers!

POST 11Original post

I still have one to change so put me on the jig pre-order list. Ian

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The good news is I've just received the first 10 jigs. Bad news is I'm out of the country until the end of August. MC

POST 13Original post

PM sent. No rush - enjoy your time abroad! Regards Ian

POST 15Original post

MC, Have you had chance to look at jig requests / apportion stock? Cash waiting :thumb: regards Ian
