How hard is it to clean?

Default not hard at all.

its clipped, and all you do is remove the wheel, stick your head in ovwer the rotor, follow the wires, unclip and wipe clean.....

Default The sensor may have just gotten pulled out of the housing a bit down by the hub

It is easy to disturb them since they are not bolted in, they just push into place. If the brakes shudder under normal braking just before you come to a complete stop the sensor is probably pulled out a bit.

Default When I repaired my gas tank, both sensor wires have to be moved out of the way,

to take out the tank. The sensors were not touched, at the wheels. I cut mine, and spliced them back together. Did you do this, and possibly not reconnect them?
