front knuckle/hub; abs sensor removal

[yahble]

So far I'm regretting tearing into this project (replacing front wheel bearings) it ain't nothing like I expected. Every turn has lead to another specialty tool- almost forcing one to take it in; really Chevy? People who buy aveos are broke already (at least I am, that's why I'm attempted this adventure while I was off work, Under the influence of the flu.... which only added to the joy)
My question is how do i remove the abs sensor from the knuckle? I have completly removed knuckle from the car, but the tethered abs sensor keeps me from pressing in/out bearings.
I cannot find a connection, nor does it seem that i can simply 'unscrew' it. I have a tendency to run on the "brute strength and stupidity" end of the scale, but I realize some things need a different, more delicate approach.
Other threads have helped me get this far, (installing new front wheel bearings) but i can find no advise on this matter. Any hints on putting it back together (which hopefully will be post flu) will be helpful because I really don't remember all I did tearing it apart ..... (My garage was up to 80 and the concrete floor felt so cool, I basically worked on it in between sleeping)
