If you're talking about the ABS connector that plugs up under the body (behind the lights), then yeah I would go to a local parts store and get an electric spray parts cleaner and spray it in there.

i just took mine out then plugged it back in when i was done.. i guess as long as it's not contaminated by dirt or other debris while it is out of the caliper then its safe to do so..

Thanks, i will just plug it back in as is.


thanks

trying to get the lower ball joints out right now.. doesnt seem like there is enough room to get one of the cups form the ball joint press under the lower ball joint(to close to the lower a-arm.. Any suggestions?

Ideally don't take the sensor out. Just unplug it and either open the plastic holders or pull them out of the frame.
