How to remove the ABS sensor on a Mini. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Unscrew the wheel bolts with a socket wrench and (using an air drill) remove the wheel; start unscrewing the securing bolts of the ABS sensor (located above the brake disc).

Use a screwdriver to detach the clips holding the wiring. Remove the plastic splash shield and (as shown in the video) disconnect the power connectors inside the wheel arch.

Finally, connect the new ABS sensor and reattach the splash shield and wheel with the associated bolts.
