Moderate pushing pressure does not seem to get the sensor down into the hole. I looked, and the sensor does not appear to be keyed. So before I use more than moderate pushing pressure on this delicate looking sensor, I just wanted to see if replacing an ABS speed sensor generally requires a good amount of pushing force to get it seated in the hole? Thanks.

Sometimes coming out is hard but going in should not be. Match it with the old one and see if they are the same diameter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. naphelge New User Nov 4, 2022, 4:31 PM Post #3 of 4 (966 views) Re: Replacement rear ABS sensor tight fit Sign In Thanks for the reply. It was the correct sensor. It was the same as the one I took out. I added a little grease to the inside of the hole and tapped the sensor into place with some light hammer taps on a punch against the mounting plate of the sensor.
