Procedure F: Broken ABS Sensor Bolt Removal
Using Kit # J-46215-8CAUTION:
Wear suitable eye and hand protection when performing the following procedure.
1. Insert a clean, lint-free shop rag into the end of the axle housing to keep dirt/debris/metal shavings from entering the housing during this procedure.
2. Thoroughly clean the area around the ABS sensor.
3. Install "Drill Jig" special tool # J-46215-9 into the ABS sensor hole (see Figure F1).
^ Firmly tighten the "T" handle on the Drill Jig.
4. Using the supplied 3/16" "Left-Hand" drill bit:
^ Drill a hole completely through (approximately 6 mm drilling depth) the center of the broken off bolt (see Figure F2).
NOTE:
^ The drill motor that you use must be turned to the counterclockwise reverse direction.
^ Drill at a low to medium speed to avoid overheating the drill bit and dulling or breaking it.
^ If the broken bolt "backs out" (un-screws) when drilling, proceed to step 9. If it does not back out when drilling, continue with step 5.
5. When the drilling is done, remove the Drill Jig.
6. Use a hammer to carefully drive the "Extractor" special tool all the way into the hole in the bolt (see Figure F3).
7. Slide the Extractor Nut onto the Extractor (see Figure F4).
8. Use a wrench to turn the nut counterclockwise until the broken bolt is completely removed (see Figure F5)
9. Use the 8 mm "Wire Brush" special tool (included in the J-46215-8 kit) in a drill motor to clean the ABS sensor bolt hole threads (see Figure F6).
10. Use an air nozzle to blow out any metal chips.
