About to change the read pads on my 07 V8V. They are down to 4mm so still have some life but thought I'd replace them over the summer. I have the pads but wondering if I should buy new wear sensors too?

What are the chances of they not being reusable? Are they considered a consumable of is there a good chance of being able to keep them and reuse?

Cheers

They can be re-used, if you are careful

I re-used mine last time, just needed a little care removing the old ones. Same for the front pads when i changed those.....so long as you just dont go yanking them out by the wire, you should be fine smile

Cheers Mark. Will give it a go.

Luckily I've found the sensors for a good price so if I need them it won't be too bad.

Wiggle them out of the pads by hand, don't use any tools and you should be ok.
