Guys hoping for some urgent help if possible....

trying to change my rear brake disks and cannot get the drivers side off due to rear disk holder bolts seized.

tried bashing the buggers out and its not having it, so now trying to remove the hub but cannot seem to find the end of the abs sensor, thought it was under the back seat but cant find it there...

The ABS sensor is permanently affixed to the loom.

As far as getting the pad carrier bolts off (torx if I remember correctly), you'll need an impact gun. Only way I managed it.

thanks for the info garje but the abs sensor cant be permanently fixed to loom because ive seen the replacements on ebay.... there are posts that refer to it being underneath the back seat but i cant find it anywhere... cant get an impact gun at the carrier bolts because the shock absorber is in the way. mine are allen key bolts not torx but i have twisted the allen key head in the bolt where its seized.
