sorry but there are 14 pages so forgive me, but how can we "preserve" the life of our sensors?

Yes, definitely need a screwdriver. Pry the tab gently open at the top, and then push it out and away from the drum brake itself (I used the same screwdriver - flat head to push it out). Make sure to use WD40 or the like and soak it for a couple of minutes before trying to remove, minimizing risk of breaking the clip. It should make a small "pop" sound when it comes off.

BTW, I joined the forum JUST thank you for reporting this fix. :D

Toyota has 'recognized', and 'fixed' the issue with 2009+ model years. You should not be a victim of this premature failure.
