Need some advice.
I was trying to remove the left front ABS speed sensor and I managed to snap it off. It was frozen in the knuckle/wheel bearing housing/ strut tower support- what ever it's called. I was trying to loosen it with liquid wrench over the course of a few days. I had a little movement but then I put a little too much pressure... snap. It's pretty much flush with the machined surface that it is fastened to. I don't know what the part looks like so I'm not sure how to attempt to remove the remaining portion- if that is even possible.
No ABS is not the end of the world, but it sure would be nice.

ps: yes, I know, dumb move.
