I put a bolt down the hole and it is clear except for a little indention near the bottom where I assume the flat part of the sensor fits.
I thought I'd tighten the screw and tap it in with a screwdriver and the stupid plastic mount broke in half.
It just won't go in and my patience is gone.
Enough for today.

I guess I'll try to epoxy the mount back together tomorrow.

But what would make the sensor so hard to go in?

Turned out it was the dust ring on the back of the wheel bearing. It had gotten bent just enough to keep the sensor from going back in place.
