kevinkay is on a distinguished road
I would love that, but why are you changing the sensor if its not ground/set off? I have re-used the same original sensors for the past 4 brake pad changes (I always catch it sooner than later). The trick is NOT to lose that little clip....You need needle nose pliers to hold it - get it on and it will probably jump out a couple of times before you seat it. I have learned that its best to install the sensor on the pad AFTER its all back together. You will think its going to be easier to clip it on the pad before it goes into the caliper, but it gets shifted around too much and gets nocked off.

I need a front clip, but I think they are the same as back. I don't need the sensor, just that little metal clip. look at the picture again, the metal clip is pressure held and will separate from the sensor when its removed, or stay in the caliper when you pull the old sensor out. I was reaching out to someone that might have a ground sensor and was going to toss the parts.
THANKS
