Hi all,

Can the front brake pad wear sensor be changed with the pad still fitted or does it have to be removed?

Thanks

Dan

Can't say I've ever tried, but I can't see why not. Just clips in from the edge.

Thanks for the rapid reply, I'll give it a go anyway, was just seeing if anybody knew for definate.

I'm tempted to just repair the cable as it's shot but the sensors are so cheap, I keep argueing with myself!
