Help I messed up!

Hello All,
After the snow here in West Chester has finally melted some. I went out to finally tackle the passenger side rear abs sensor issue. I tried to remove it and I snapped the mounting bolt. I did some research on the left handed drill bit to remove the piece but I m afraid to try it. Any suggestions please or do I take it to a mechanic where they can have the car on a lift for better access? This is steeming from a post I posted about the abs noise I was hearing. I was told to clean the rear wheel assembly and the abs sensor and that may solve the problem. Well the wheel hub assembly is frozen on anf I couldn't remove. The car has 196000 miles on it and I never had any abs issues till now. Thanks for listening Maxima.org and I would appreciate any help you guys provide.
Blake

if you have a welder, weld a nut on the stud, it will help break it loose when welding and you should be able to unscrew it with a wrench.

Use a drill bit half the size of the nut. Drill enough where the "back-out" bit can catch. Use the socket and slowly, but with firmness unscrew the broken piece.


Wont hurt to spray some Liquid Wrench - - let it soak for a few minutes.... bang gently around the area so the liquid can penetrate even further....


I do this all the time - last one was on my control arm.


Await your results
