IMPORTANT:
If a brake lining sensor that has already been ground has to be replaced even though the minimum brake pad (See 34 11 FRONT BRAKE E70 ) thickness has not yet been reached, you must observe the following: The new sliding contact must be filed down with a file to the same length as the ground sliding contact.
The brake pad wear sensor must be replaced once it has been removed (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention capability in the brake pad).
