Flux capacitor lead wire. You won't need it unless you go over 88mph... But, yes it is the ABS wire.

Check the other front hub. You will see where the wire goes and how it is mounted.

there is a hole on the knuckle, right on top. the sensor is held down with a 10mm bolt. that's where it reads the ABS ring on the axle.

So...the damn speed sensor is rusted solid into the wheel hub. Any suggestions for getting out out? :/

I already tried PB Blaster, hammering it from the back and a pry bar from the front.

No ****, Im in AZ so the cars here have dry seals and rubber but never any serious rust. This thing came from the east coast so its a whole different ballgame.

Heat will make it expand and just make it harder to get out. Try this, get a can of compressed air and turn it upside and freeze the hell out of it while keeping the hub part warm.
