it would of been picked up by the fitter wouldn't it.

Yes, you have to pull the drive out of the way after you've taken the front wheel spindle out. I remember one grumpy fitter supergluing the lugs back on when I took it in for its first tyre change. Well only fair,  he broke them off  :lol

I have watched them do it - either from afar with the last one or through the steam of a cup of tea the time before that and they just seemed to remove calipers take out the spindle and that was that, didn't see any other "fiddling"
Anyone go any pictures of it in situ as I am not sure how it sits. After removing the calipers and spindle do I remove the wheel by first moving it to the left / away from the sensor whilst supporting the wheel, otherwise the weight of the wheel will snap the lugs wont it ?

The outer casing of the sensor has a slot on it which needs to be paired with a guide on the left fork.
Like a sort of tongue and groove scenario.
But it has to be done with the lugs in position and the housing sitting correctly, which is why a good dollop of grease actually helps when refitting.
It is fiddly the first time, but i learned rather quickly when i snapped the lugs on mine not to do it again.
