[W126 Coupe] Parking brake release handle

[Markus Meyer]

 Doug, Doing the brakes is actually quite easy on our SECs.  I don't remember the exact steps off hand (might be in the archives), but after taking off the wheels with the car jacked up, you need to remove two pins that hold the retain spring/clip in place, take out the spring/clip, pull the pads out, pull off the sensor wires, push the pistons in so you can install the new pads (with some fluid taken out of the brake reservoir), then install new pads with anti-squeal paste and new sensor wires (just plug into pads and sensor itself), reinstall spring/clip and pins and you are pretty much done.

My wear indicator light just came on, ('90 SEC) consequently only 1 day after buying pads on Friday to put on the car on Sunday to try to beat replacing the sensors. I have done many disc brakes but never had a car with 
electronic sensors. Are the sensors just on the front wheels? Is it a complicated process or obvious and easy? What should I expect to pay for each sensor and if only one is making contact can I get away with just replacing the one? My service manual is on the way so I'm reluctant to dive in without it for guidance or advice from one or more of you.
