Replacing Brake Pad Sensor

Can I replace the front and rear brake pad sensors by just removing the wheels? I just put on some Brembo rotors and Axxis pads and I don't want to pull them off again to get to the sensor. Is there a way?

In my experience, yes. I did my pads replacement and a week later, I pulled the old sensor and replaced with a new one. All I have to do is just remove the wheel.

yes you can remove the brake wear sensor without removing the caliper. removing the wheels will give you all the access you need. you may need to use needle nose pliers to get the metal clip out should that come loose from the plastic tab of the brake wear sensor itself.

I am thinking of doing the same mod. How do you like yours so far?
