cn90 is on a distinguished road
- All along, I did not remove LF wheel to check (being lazy lol) bc I could see through the wheel that the OUTER brake pad was healthy at 6 mm...

- Once I removed the wheel (on jack stand for safety), it was obvious that the LF sensor was beginning to be ground off. If you have a pair of right-angle pliers, just gently grab at the spring ends and pull the sensor out w/o damaging it.

- The INNER brake pad was 3mm.

- For now, I removed the sensor and tie it out of the way while waiting for parts.

- Now, the FRONT will get new rotors, pads, and sensor lol...

- I miss the Japanese car ways of using audible warning, no wear sensor lol...

- Problem solved.
