Brake Wear Sensor (1974 Pantera)

khansmithMember

Hey all:
I am replacing my front calipers on my 1974 Pantera L and I hit a snag. I noticed that the lead that senses brake pad wear is connected to the pad in a way I didn't expect. I am not sure the correct way to disconnect nor do I know how to ready the new pad and caliper for this sensor. I have checked my POCA materials and haven't found any info to address my challenge. Below are some photos. As you will see, the brake wear lead passes through the old caliper through the top and is connected at the top of the pad, thus making the old caliper and pad intertwined to the lead comming off the car. Any pointers would be very much welcome.
