Did the rotors and pads today. What should be straight forward was not...

Whoever worked on the car (BMW tech) before me tightened the hand brake tight enough that it wouldn't let me pull off the rotor even with the hand brake released. That set me back 15 minutes (each side) trying to figure out which way to turn to loosen the shoes more.

I think I also got a faulty or wrong model pad wear sensor. The wire boots don't fit into the original slots and is a little shorter. My brake linings light is still on even after I try to reset it by leaving the key in position 2. $10 down the drain...
