help with spindle removal

[Bwoodie]

I need help removing the front spindle from a 4x4. The issue is How to remove the block that holds the ABS sensor. Once removed the spindle should come off. I am not sure what size socket to use to remove the bolt that holds this block on. Any one know?



Thanks

IIRC its a 6mm 12 pt socket.

Best to buy a good quality 12 point 6mm deep socket.
You only get one chance to get that bolt loose.
If you strip the head you are in deep trouble.

The sensor tends to rust in the block making it hard to get off even with the 6mm bolt removed.

I've had to bust one loose with a hammer and buy a new sensor.
Use some rough sandpaper to make the block hole slightly larger when reinstalling.

Good luck...
