After I replace the brakes will l need a computer to reset the break light? The light is not on now. Will it come on after unplunging wear sensor? Thanks Larry

To avoid setting diagnostic fault codes or turning on any warning lights, don't turn the ignition switch on while you have things apart.

Are you replacing disc pads or drum shoes? Are you familiar with the things professionals do to avoid brake noises and vibrations, and the things we can do to cause those problems? Do you plan on working with the hydraulic system and having to bleed it?
