Default front wheel question

Do I need to remove brake calipers for front wheel removal? Also, is the abs sensor tricky to get lined back up?

Calipers got to come off first, use a piece of duct tape to protect the fender edge above the caliper, don't know about ABS.

Depends on the model. Some front fenders don't allow the wiggle room to drop a tire without pulling the calipers. Just remove the bolts holding the calipers and pull them free as you drop the tire. Don't know anything about ABS. What does your manual say?

nothing special about abs, just look how the pin on the sensor sits in fork. - sensor acts as the left side wheel spacer.
