It'll help if the disc is out of the way. But it's a chew on getting them out when they're snapped off. I used a small screwdriver to punch a hole through the remaining bit, and a pair of long nosed pliers to pull bits out until I got it all.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

£300.00????? are you having a laugh, mine did this just the other week, full wheel bearing was £39.00 inc vat, granted I didn't need a sensor but they don't cost another £260.00 to buy that is for sure. only take 30 ins max to fit too,

stealers again , sensor had broken off originally which i had caused and could not be bothered to sort it , then they found ring broken which they showed me , it had worn a groove in end of sensor , i suppose if i had done it myself ( engineer) i would have saved a bomb but cannot be bothered
