Do we need to replace brake wear sensors?
When replacing brake pads, do we have to replace the brake wear sensors as well? Or can they be reused? If we need to replace them, anyone know where is a good place to purchase them at?

For BMW, you could reset the sensors by plugging them in backwards and then re-using them again normally. Not sure for Mercedes though.
Not saying you should (since it's better safe than sorry for such a cheap part), but just sayin'.

If they haven't been tripped, they are technically re-usable. I've also seen them crack when removing and set a false warning either immediately or in the near future. They are only a couple dollars, not worth taking the wheel back off to change them later IMO.
Rockauto.com has them for cheap.
