Brake sensor disconnect, how?
 
On a 85 Carrera, how do you dislodge the ware indicator form the brake shoe.

Dose it pull out or do you squeeze the two metal barbs or something?

Thx.

I just wiggle it and pull it out.

That's it?

Cool and done.

get a mini screwdriver behind it. then use your thumb as a prying point. may break, may not. bakelite rocks. :(

Ok, I tried the pull thing. Did not want to come out. Then tryed to gently pull out w needle nose pliers. Broke the first one.

Did get the other to come loose.

Rears were easy as the pads seemed new.

I think what would have helped would be to spray them with brake cleaner or wd 40. It may be that the heat kind of welds them together.
