Speed Sensor Help

I am replacing yet another wheel bearing, this time on the front of my '04 FX35. Down to the *#$&?@#$!!! :mad.:speed sensor. Of course my bolt snapped off at the first opportunity as they all seem to do. OK, that sucks, but I was prepared for that and will deal with it. On to pulling out the sensor. I have read in other threads about how careful you need to be about this poor lil delicate piece electronic deviltry, but my problem is mine won't move one iota. I have sprayed it liberally with PB Blaster from every conceivable angle, and gotten the plastic part to budge enough to get a very thin edge underneath it. But the part that protrudes into the hub? Not moving. As best I can I have applied leverage under where the confounded cheese-bolt snapped off, and I have grasped the plastic where the cable goes in with large pliers wiggled it and pulled like the devil. Nothing. Any suggestions before I just trash it altogether and find myself out $140 to replace it? Thanks!
