You are the man… worked beautifully… save around $300 in labor. Can’t thank you enough….😊

Hey Andy! Really an informative video. Thanks for it. As I’m doing this job myself for the first time and wanted to confirm torque on those bolts for bracket and calliper. Brake bracket- 75 ft-lbs and calliper bolts- 24 ft-lbs

That was so complete and so easy. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

This video and the comments helped me a lot. Thank y’all 🙏🏾

Well I did both front and back and this video helped a lot for the back . Fast and simple

This is the most complete video i can get,thks bro!

You have no idea the amount of money that you have saved me. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you’d, that was so helpful! Great presentation as well.

Not just a man but an artist

Nicely explained, good video!

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.

Nice job! Thanks Andy!

Thanks for sharing - great info and video~

Hi Andy We just carried out a replacement rear pad change with your procedure, (right hand drive) all good now. Did you forgot to mention to pump the pedal first?? Pistons spun (both red and orange lights flashing) until we pumped up the brakes and redid the service on then off. Thanks for the video 👍

Thank you! Great job!

thank you for this video, very helpful

This really help me great video .

On my 2015 the rear caliper froze up at about 90K miles and needed to be replaced. Also at about 120K one of the slide pins froze up I had to use a 5lb hammer and pound it about 30 times to get it out. You should check the slide pins grease every year. Also if you are cleaning out the bracket where the slide pins go into remove the rubber boot first. I didn't and put it in a parts washer and it grew to twice its normal size due to the solvent.

why say "torque to spec" without mentioning what the torque # is?

I just changed the rear brakes on my Mazda cx5 I didn’t know bout the maintenance mode and I drove it and everything feels fine and no dash light came on should how would I know if I messed up the caliper

very well done thank you

8:44 pads were a huge pita to get back into the brackets. Took me a few tries, kept popping back out!

thanks for tutorial. is the car that stinky there needs to be 5 air fresheners in the center vents? lots of [dead] skunks in the area? how often is the cabin filter changed? Just curious....

Awesome u just save some $$$ thank you 🙏

Last time i replaced the acuator without put the vehicle to maintenance mode, since that time each time i pull the Ebrake it always show the yellow P light blinking. The scan tool says the acuator disengage. Does that means i ruined my acuator?

Great video

Hey quick question, do you know if it’s the same procedure for a 2019+ Mazda 3? Planning to do the rear brakes and rotors but I’m not sure if you compress the caliper piston or if you rotate them piston in with a caliper tool.

For the front brakes, do you need the brake maintenance mode on?

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive guide. Just two questions: 1- do you have any suggestion for brand of pads and rotor and from to buy them in Canada? 2- is the procedure the same for AWD?

Same procedure for parking brake for a 2019?

Does torqueing to spec just mean yank it as hard as you can?

One pin has a sleeve on it. Top or bottom location?

Thank you

Okay I’ve seen these coated brake rotors, but I’m curious how these compare to painted brake rotors. Any reason in particular the coated rotors were chosen?

Thanks! makes my next job simpler. What are the torque specs for the caliper & pad housing?

very thanks

Do you need the ebp released for front and rear brakes and rotors?

Hey bro quick question? Are TRQ struts good quality for the money? Will they last atleast a year?

I have a 2016 CX-5 that falls into that rear-caliper/EPB module fiasco TSB (R052/16C). We do have brake pulsation, especially at higher speeds when braking, and the pads on the rear are in need of replacement according to a Mazda tech. Could we need the updated rear calipers from the TSB along with pads and rotors? How do you determine if the rotors in the front or the rear need replacement?

It's very important to put the car into maintenance mode before service or you will turn a 30' job into 5hr one.

I would put the disc brake quiet on the hardware where the pads sit as well, they can squeak from that area if not done.

At 2:20, you said let go. Are you also releasing the gas pedal?

I didn’t put it in maintenance mode and still changed the brakes is this a problem?

Just did my brakes and only had to push the start button 3 times 😐

For the EPB how come some people twist and push the piston back

What’s the 19 mm open end wrench on the caliper bolts while you were tightening with the socket? Purpose?

I have 3 questions for u: 1. This procedure is the same for ALL Mazda electric e-brake? 2. Can I use the C -clamp rather than took you use? 3. Is it necessary to do those step you showed us, or is there a way we can skip ?

Interesting that the maintenance mode is push 5 times the engine button, because on my 2017 (2016 body) it's 3 times. These EPB's are really fragile, really eat up my pads and discs even. Also since i've done the pads a few times sometimes i need to drive the car a bit before the maintenance mode can be turned off again. Otherwise it give's me an error.

I love the torque to spec but i see no torque wrench

What year is this CX5?

The coated rotors and brakes need to be bedded in as well.

I think you should rotate the piston instead of just pressing it in?

If anyone is having trouble re-engaging the parking brake, press the button in sequence with the flashing on the parking brake button. Probably spent 5 minutes messing with it before trying that

You said to torque to spec but you never did. Not professional obviously. Are you a journeyman mechanic?

Im squealing. It's time.

Never ever put anti-seize between the hub and the rotor. It's a mistake made by many.
