Brake Pedal sensor fix

intermitent bas\abs\esp, and today limp mode
decided to open up the dreaded brake sensor and see what going on inside
Warning: the stuff inside is really delicate, dont do it while hungry or frustrated (like i did). and a spare part should be available or plan-B should be ..planned

but i'll post detailed removal and fix if requested.
