Brakes (vdemon311 Request)
Sorry I got to this so late. I've been swamped with work and I forgot about it, sorry.
The brake pad has a hole which the sensor slips in and then the other end connects to the connector. You'll get a better picture when you remove the wheel. If your brake light hasn't come on then you won't need to change the sensor. Since the nose of the sensor goes into the pad, when the pad wears out it starts wearing out the sensor (busting it) which then shorts it and it sends a signal to your car. So if your brake light isn't on that means your sensor is perfectly fine. You have 1 sensor front right and 1 sensor rear right.
Summary
Remove wheel
There are two pins on the caliper that lock the pads in place. With a pin and hammer pop those out and the brakes pads will slip out.
Behind caliper there should be 2 bolts. Remove them and caliper will come off. Use a wire hanger to hold it.
There is one smaller torx screw on the rotor. Remove than and the rotor should slip out.
Let me know if I can provide further assistance and keep me updated on how the oil level sensor change goes.
