Sensor For Akebono Pads?

Anyone know where I can get the brake pad sensor for Akebono pads?


I've searched and can't find anything.

OEM pads or OEM SENSOR? If sensor, how did you get the OEM sensor into the Akebono pad?

I think OP ask how to insert/plug the brake sensor into the Akebono pads? Mine pads came without predrill holes. I did drill the hole myself.

I think he means the way oem sensors fit with a Akebono pads? They are a pita, and that's when a dremel comes in handy. Just a little grinding where they attach, and your good to go.

So some drilling is required to get the sensor to fit into the pad? The hole doesn't go all the way to the backing of the brake pad.

If the sensor never touched the rotor, just reuse it. No reason to replace.
