    Those aren't brake sensors, they're crash sensors. They trigger your airbag, and just may decide to do that while you're messing with them. They have a little tit in the screw so people won't mess with them. Unless your aigbag is gone, DNFW!!!

    Otherwise, ViseGrips are suitable.

      Never touch a yellow wire.

      You will need a hex aka allen key for them. You can get them at hardware/tool/automotive stores. Automotive stores would most likley have the allens that attach to a 1/4 or 3/8 socket wrench.
