   I have the intermittent ABS warning light so I need to remove the sensors to clean them. The rears are easy but cant budge the fronts, I have removed the bolt but it will not move. Any ideas?

Another case where a trace of grease when the car was built would have made matters easy later on.
 
VW place their sensors where they can be easily cleaned whenever the wheel is removed - pity BMW don't!
