Sheared ABS Sensor Bolt Removal was created by JimnyUser
So I set out to change the kingpin bearings on both sides of my Jimny today and first came up against a rounded torx bolt on the hub cover but managed to get round that only to be stumped by a sheared abs sensor bolt which either a previous owner or garage has done, Anyone got any ideas how best to go about removing the busted bolt??

Last time I rebuilt my front axle I had the same thing -
So I drilled into the sheared bolt with a strong drill bit -
And then...
Used a self-tapping screw to hold it in place...
Although in the end it was still a bit loose, so...
I tack welded it in place! :whistle:

Yup, still got a set of Easy-Outs from the days of Vitaras,,, removing sheared free-wheel-hub bolts...!
Once blew all 6 at once and shot the hub metres from the truck! :S
35" tyres with twin LSDs, a crawler box, and a Centerforce "on/off" Dual Friction clutch didn't help...!
LOL, happy days...

Take care not to snap one of those things off in your hole. :blush:
That would really spoil your day.
They don't drill too well. :evil:
