Default brake wear sensor

I tipped the guy 10 bucks for lunch...no problems here after 15K since i did the pads.

Just another suggestion to save a few bucks.
How did you remove the sensor? Does it disconnect at some point?

I found brake wear sensors for $6.99 ($16 for front and rear and shipping total) at RockAuto.com, will try them and report back.
