Ford Focus 1.6 2002 (51) Zetec - replacing Vehicle Speed Sensor - Fixed # Archived Message
Posted by Peter Rainsley on November 24, 2008, 1:33 pm
Bought just the right size vice grip for the steel pin. Warmed the diff case and spent two hours building up a blister on my index finger, but got the pin out. Have carefully ground a mole grip to fit the VSS, but am not strong enough to pull it out. Have tried heel bar and screw driver under the grips for extra leverage, but nothing shows any sign of movement. Is there a trick? At what point does the sensor shatter and then is it a gear box out job? I am sure there are some gruesome tales out there, but I would prefer to hear the success stories
