Easier than on my '89.

The only thing I would do differently than what is described in the DIY article is:

1.) Break off the old sensors; this makes removing the spring plates easier.

2.) Insert the new sensors into the new pad after replacing the spring plate. Again, makes spring plate replacement easier and faster.

3.) Use shims and paste to eliminate the possibility of brake squeal.
