reuse brake sensors & rear shoes?
I'm about to do a brake job on my 05 E320 CDI. And wondering whether to get the brake sensors or not. I'm actually changing the pads and rotors before their worn (going to dustless pads). So would I be able to reuse the existing sensors since they haven't been worn down and refit them into the new pads?
And typically how long do the rear shoes last, ie. e-brake shoes?

The Sensors can be Tough to remove as they are pressed into the pads and can break off inside the pads..
I Have done Several brake jobs and I Would replace the sensors

Long story short, I acquired cross-drilled rotors off ebay (only $215 shipped), R4S pads from Porterfield, and stainless steel brake lines from Goodridge.
The long story was that I had considered upgrading the brakes to AMG or atleast vented rears but nothing really indicated that my E320 CDI was lacking in anyway so left the calipers alone. But definitely had to address the OEM brake dust by replacing with Porterfield R4S pads.
