Brake pad change question
Hi all,
Do I need to order two replacement wear sensors? Or can I reuse if they have not activated? Thanks

Yes they can be reused but as Digidick says, you need to be careful as heat can make them brittle.

Best to buy one and have it ready when you change the pads as the old one can disintegrate when you remove it. They’re only about £10 on ebay/ecp |

Or... don't order one and if it does disintegrate just tie it out of the way temporarily until the new one arrives - it is only a case of taking the wheel off again to swap out the sensor... If you use a screwdriver to gently ease it backwards out of its slot keeping it straight you should be fine...
