front abs sensor removal. HOW???

[jertapper]

Anyone have any tips on how to get the front abs sensor OFF? I don't want to ruin it and it doesn't want to come.

I unbolted the one bolt right under it and it doesn't want to come. The metal plate seems soft...maybe aluminum...which seems to always be stuck on me and too soft to apply any force to get it to break free. I'm putting tons of penetrating lube all over it hoping for a miracle.

This front shock job is way harder than the rear so far.

Edit: Nevermind. I got it. Had to bend it a bit where the bolt goes in and work it with a knife then a screwdriver and I dented it up pretty good hitting it from the sensor side around the sensor but once I got it to come out a bit I was able to keep prying from the other side. It was a major pain though.
