Disconnect plug connection (2).
Installation note: Make sure the plug connections snaps in correctly and the line is fitted correctly in the holders.

Installation note: Ensure proper locking of the holders and proper seating of the line in the holders.
Disengage line from brake pad wear sensor from holder (1).
Pull brake pad wear sensor (2) in direction of arrow out of brake pad.
Installation note: Make sure brake pad wear sensor (2) is correctly seated in brake pad and holder (1).
