Default Broken ABS speed sensor

Any suggestions on removing the plastic shaft from a rear ABS speed sensor stuck in the wheel? While removing for replacement, after coming out about 1/2", it broke off, leaving a section of the sensor in the wheel.

Need a way to get the remaining piece of the sensor shaft out of the wheel.

Thanks!

What year Ram are you referring to? Is the sensor you're working with in the wheel hub or at the differential? Do you have any drill bits or EZ-Out extractors large enough to bite in to the broken piece so you can pull it out?

2010 Ram 1500 SLT 4WD. Sensor is in the wheel hub.

Will EZ-out work with the plastic? The shaft is flat on one side, so I don't think it will twist out.

Drill into it, put a screw in the hole, pry on the screw.

Similar to the screw suggestion, the EZ Out isn't so much to twist it out as it is to bite in and give you something to pull on. I like the suggestion of the screw/bolt as that will give you a head to easily grab on to.
