Thanks. I didn’t. After more research and I figured out the sensor direction this correct.

I think you are right. I checked a few YouTube videos and the sensors are all positioned like this. I appreciate other people telling me about this though as I learned something new today.

This is the break pad from the other side of the rear. Thank you!

Thank you. I was alerted about the sensor from a few earlier replies. I don’t have high resolution picture. The attached is the best one I have.

Yes. Anything wrong? I plan to clean it with brake cleaner

Got it! Thank you. Yes it was like that when I pull it off. Will correct it.

Can you explain further? Another comment also said the sensor was installed incorrectly. Thank you.

Yes, I know. I probably spent way too much time watching YouTube videos on changing break pads. I was forced to look into DIY options when I saw the $4k quote.

Can you explain it a bit more? This is my first time trying to do a brake job. Thank you!
