Default If you mean ABS brakes you should not. If you mean brakes sensors as in pad wear sensors...

It is fairly easy.

Default This is how I do it:

Cut the sensor off past the plug. Slip on a small piece of heat shrink and solder the wire ends together to make a loop. Then cover it with the heat shrink and zip tie it out of the way. If you want to switch to stock pads with the sensor, unplug your loop and save it for the next time you want to go sensorless.

Works great for me!

Regards,
