is it the OE cartridge, or an aftermarket one? they should come right out if you filled them with fluid. If you didn't, then it's likely they're rusted in place. bad. yuck. good luck.


Why not just swap the whole thing over to the new car as well? all the disc models are the same, except for the hubs w/ the ABS parts in them. if that's the case, then just pull the hubs and the abs sensors off and swap them over.
