Brake wear sensor

Post by shuey » Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:34 pm

So I’m replacing my front rotors and pads as the discs have warped - even though they have hardly worn down (only 3000 miles on them).

Do I still need to replace my brake wear sensors? They have not gone off or anything.

Can the be re-used - without them going off prematurely. The front pads literally have only worn down about 10% maybe 20% at the very most.

As above, fine to re-use. Make sure you don't break it pulling it out, and that you also get the small U shaped retaining spring which normally stays lodged in the edge of the brake pad, you need to put tat back in place on the sensor end before pushing it back into new pad.
