I just had to share this............
I spent a couple of hours changing my rear brake pads and sensors! It may be a simple job for most ppl, but a rather big achievement on my part.............. the biggest pain was to try to clip the sensor junction sleeves back together - PITA.
What shall I do next I wonder..........

I hate those things. I've tried every tool in my garage... Vice Grips, jeweler's screw drivers, multiple wrenches and screw drivers, wire ties, dental floss, dust eradication, etc.
I have no tricks to relate, as they usually just finally snap closed after I have vocalized my intention to try my very last attempt! Never underestimate the approach of threatening the car, it will submit!
These rate up there with the best of those short, easy DIYs that are derailed by one maddening process step! Most are usually buried in the Haynes' classic "Assembly is the reverse of removal."
Glad you got the brakes done!
Have fun with your projects.

i too had a fight with drivers side junction.Then i got idea using compressed air to clean all dust and sand. After that it was so easy that i could use bare hands to close them.
