Can anyone who has done a front strut replacement tell me how to safely remove the ABS sensor form the strut assembly?

To my knowledge there is no 'safe' way to remove it. You will have to replace both of em. Its gonna cost you too. They are like 250 a pop from joe.

That's what I was afraid of; is there any explanation other than engineered profit?

I mean, it seems theres no reason that its unremovable instead of mounted on a removable bracket of sorts.
