speed sensor issues

[JohnHealy]

I'm replacing the front right speed sensor on my '95 Avalon. I purchased replacement part #970-033 from Dorman. The harness and sensor looks the same as the one that I removed only the sensor does not fit into the hole in the wheel hub. I did not want to apply any force to it as I'm affraid that the sensor will break. The original one snapped off in the hub while removing so I do not have it for comparison. I cleaned the hole and the hub off really well so there is no obstruction. Is there some type of lubricant that I should be using to help get the sensor in? How much force is necessary to get the sensor into the hub? Any advice would be appreciated.

the sensors do fit really tight.make sure all of the rust is cleaned out inside the hole.use wd-40 pb blaster etc to lube it.push and twist. good luck
