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).

Press clip (1) together and detach brake pad sensor (2) in direction of arrow from brake pad.

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

Installation:

Make sure clip (1) and brake pad sensor (2) are correctly seated in brake pad.
