Default Brake pad replacement

97 c230 brake worn warning lights flashes once a while. I think I need to change the pads. Any one has instructions for DIY.
Should I also change the rotors and the sensors as well?

Thanks in advance

only the pad and the affected sensor.

the rotor depends on condition.

It is relatively easy, once you get the wheel off and look at the new pads and then the calipers it all fits in place. You should check the rotors with a gauge to measure thickness. I changed the front pads a fews months back, eyeballed the whole job, make sure you get anti squeal compound. The rear pads are really easy they just snap out. Don't forget to release the bleeder screw so you can push the the piston back in. Then top off brake fluid, close the bleeder valve first. Also clean everything with brake cleaner. I do before and after.
