I wasn't aware the rear needed a wear sensor as well... I have to ask: Why only one sensor? Do I not need two?

I guess if the ECU takes a reading from one sensor it assumes the other rear pad has the same amount of wear?

And thanks for the anti-squeal paste tip. When you say "the edges and back of the brake pads", do you mean around the perimiter of the pad surface? The leading and/or trailing edge(s)??

I'm ordering parts today. So far here's what I'm ordering...

New Genuine rotors F&R
New Genuine pads F&R
3(???) pad wear sensors
Anti-Squeal Paste
Mann Air Filter
Fleece Oil Filter Kit

The oil filter tool is questionable.... I looked at the pics of the tools on this site and they look very similar to a couple filter tools I already have. Maybe I looked at the wrong tool??? Anyone know the correct part # for the tool I need for this 3.2l ?

Thanks!
