WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

IMPORTANT: 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). 
If a brake pad sensor that has already been ground has to be replaced even though the minimum brake pad 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. See BRAKES - TECHNICAL DATA -- CLUBMAN .

Unclip brake pad sensor (2) from holder (3).
