The bolt for this shield has an extremely hard-to-find 6mm 12-point head, so most people (including me) don't carry a socket to fit it. Since I've abandoned my idea to add 4WABS TC to my truck, I didn't need the sensor or the shield, so I just knocked it off with a hammer. If I need to reinstall it, I'll use a bolt with a 6-point head. Turns out a more-common 12-point 7/32" socket can be hammered onto this bolt head.
