- This video is showing how to install new rear discs and brake pads with a car that has electric rear parking brakes. We show you how to put the E-Brake into Maintenance mode to allow this work to take place then how to turn the Maintenance mode off. Also show how to remove the caliper, caliper housing and discs that may be rusted onto the rear hub.

i bought a 18 Mazda 3, i was turning all day and it did nothing, thank you for this video l still have the pads
Just wanted to say thank you so much for making this. This video helped me (someone with no mechanical experience) change my brake pads and rotors for the first time on my Mazda3. I am SO excited that I did it myself!
Glad it helped!
@@bigguydiy2184 you saved me $400!
@@bigguydiy2184 I'm about to do the front next week - is the process the same?
Cheers mate. I've done my 2015 Mazda which didn't have the electronic brake and now I gotta do the rear brakes for my dad's car. The fact that I don't need to rotate the rear piston in makes me happy.
Thank you, there's always something to learn❤
I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you! First time doing this and it felt like i had my dad there helping me. The way you took the time to show all the steps such as the putting the car into service mode and pulling the pistons against the caliper to retract them, all amazingly valuable tips. I was a little nervous because my 2018 doesn't do the pedal "click," but i followed along and alas it worked!
Thank you very much for the kind words. My goal was always to be able to help others in doing home repairs. Now that I have purchased this car from my son, I will be posting more repairs/upgrades this year.
@bigguydiy2184 Very grateful there's people like you out there willing to share your knowledge. I hope you like your Mazda as much as I do.
Came back to this video again after a year (watched it before and did my rear rotors and brakes) and did the same job but for my front brakes and rotors. Everything was basically the same minus some differences in wrench sizes to get the bolts out. Thanks again for making such a great guide/video that's so easy to follow!
I’ve come back to this video twice now! really appreciate that you published it!
I'm so glad it has been very helpful. Thnk you for watching.
Thanks guys! I completely forgot about setting it in maintenance mode. No wonder the brake caliper wasn't going anywhere!! Gonna try again this weekend
No worries!
Did it work lol?
I guess we won't know.... :-(
You may well have saved me $1,000 doing this myself thankyou so so much what a great video!!!
Great to hear!
Tried out your maintenance mode before ordering pads and it worked. This would be the first pads I've tried with electric handbrake. Looks like there's about 4mm pad left on 30k miles. More pad left on the fronts which I find strange. Mexico caliper too. Thanks for the heads up men.
I'm glad it help! Thank you for watching.
If you look at the bottom of the piston portion of the caliper, there's a square clamp point cast into the body; I used it to clamp the piston back in with a pair of channel locks.
You can still compress the rear pistons into the housing but, because of the electronic parking brake mechanism, you have to push it in and not rotate it. So, next time you don't have to force the caliper back onto the pads. Just push the piston back as normal.
Thank you for the info.
Great video thank you very much for all the tips and tricks! Gives me so much more confidence to tackle this project on my ‘17 mazda 3
Thank you for watching, I'm glad I was able to help!
Thanks so much for this video! I did my first discs and pads change following your instructions.
Great to hear!
Thanks so much.....I'm old school Mechanic & u saved my bacon....!!!!!. Much appreciated....!!!!! Worked like a charm...!!!!
Excellent!
Mazda's equipped the E- Brake system the caliper plunger automatically retracts once you do the set up . This allows you to install the pads. Lots of bad information out there .
Thank you, I will keep that in mind since now I own the car. :-)
10:17 To remove the brake disc it is not necessary to hit it with a large hammer. Between the holes for the studs for fastening the wheel, there is a hole with an M8 thread (previously, a screw for fastening a car jack even fit). By simply screwing an M8 bolt into that hole, you can easily press the brake disc away from the wheel hub, protecting your hearing and hands
Thank you for sharing the bolt size!!
This is a good tip, and I would add that the two bolts holding the caliper are the same thread as the ones on the disk (M8) so they can be used to do that. Just make sure to clean and grease the bolt before putting it back as the female threads can be dirty.
Thanks for the video. I didnt notice the dots on the pads I even looked at the p/n and they where the same.
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks mate, had trouble with the electronic break but your video helped heaps. Much appreciated n great video!
Great to hear!
Hi! Greetings from Poland! Thank You very much for detailed instruction on setting service mode! Great job 👍
Glad it helped
Excellent guys! Really helped me alot! This video got me through the job. A BIG Thank You!
This is the video i needed. Thank you guys
Thanks bro! I wish I could thumb up more than 1 time.
You're welcome!
Thanks boys!! Great video!!
Does anyone have the torque specs for the bolts for the caliper bracket and the slider pins ?
Front caliper bracket: 68-81 ft-lb. Front caliper slide pin: 20-22 ft-lb. Rear caliper bracket: 38-48 ft-lb. Rear caliper slide pin: 17-19 ft-lb
What if I want to bleed the air out? Just just everything back to normal (also out of service mode) and bleed like normal? Thx
I guess my first question is how did you get air in the system? If you need to bleed it, it takes 2 to perform. One adding fluid into the brake reservoir and another operating the bleed nipple(?) on the caliper. The person adding the brake fluid also has to press on the brake very very slowly to not run the reservoir empty.
Merci pour cette vidéo, ça fonctionne nickel 👍🏻.
Merci d'avoir regardé!
how do i download the sound track?

@@bigguydiy2184 ok thanks
Thank you
You're welcome
Question for you guys. What part/brand did you use for the rear pad/rotor? I have a Mexico assembled 2017 Mazda 3 touring 2.0 and most of the parts sites give limited information. Some even group all the mazda 3s into one category stating that they use the same parts regardless if there is an electronic rear brake or not (not good). Anyway thanks for any information.
Here is the link to the rear brake pad W/Electric parking brake. www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10934300&cc=3436920&pt=1684&jsn=920www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10934300&cc=3436920&pt=1684&jsn=920
Rockauto.com breaks it down to W/Electric Parking Brake or "Not including" electric parking brake.
But the link above description is "AKEBONO ACT2042 ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic "Info"
Rear; 3 Base Model; Japan Production; w/Electronic Parking Brake"
Replying for any that find this going forward; in my experience so far with a 17 GT Mexico build with EPB - the parts all seem to be interchangeable between the various builds and models. "Base model" rear rotors match my factory original rears; rear pads that are listed as fitting both Japan and Mexico build EPB match factory original, and front base model rotors and pads match my fronts.
Do I have to put a car in service (maintains) mode? What will happen if I will just change pads and discs?
The parking brake is operated by an electronic actuator. By putting it in Service mode, it retracts the actuator to allow the calipers to be serviced.
@@bigguydiy2184 thank you, God to know. I need to change brake pads in the spring so your video is very helpful. Thanks for answer.
I didn't know the stock rotor had that screw hole to aid in the removal of the rotor:).
What size bolt did you use?
I do not know what size, I just have a tray with a variety is mm bolts so I tried each one till one fit correctly. MM bolts have a tight thread vs American bolts that have a much wider thread.
Just did this and used a metric M8 bolt.
Big Guy DIY thanks for the video!
Thank you for the info!!
Hey thank you for the help,can you tell me if I need to do this when changing front brakes also or only rear brakes
Only the rear since the electric parking brake only engages the rear caliper.
What size bolt thread pitch did you use to screw into rotor to remove it?? Thanks!
Sorry, I do not know. I have a tray full of metric bolts and not separated by size. I tried each one till one fit.
Hey! I’m a bit late here, but in case anyone is wondering. It’s a m8 1.25 x40 mm hex head.
thank yu on video l m sauba arabia
Thank you so much
Any time
How much torque did you tighten the caliper bracket bolts at 15:08?
Its suppose to be 85 Ft lbs but I never use a torque wrench. I tend to make it tight enough where I can feel if I am going to strip it or not. Those who do a lot of wrenching develop a feel how tight something can go before it's too much or too tight. Where I tend to over torque are lug nut on tires.
Thank you buddy 👍
Any time!
I think you should get a mazda repair manual
I have one. Its called Google.
@@bigguydiy2184 google, where men can have periods.
So much salt on your Mazda? Too bad. Where do you guys live?
My son spends his winter skiing in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Salt is a liquid road pre-treatment are used heavily.
Don’t try this at home
LOL....
lose the corny background music
why? i downloaded it to play while im doing my brakes.
Thanks guys, helped me 100%. From Australia 🦘
Thank you for watching! My whole goal was the help others do their own repairs.
Awesome video mate, very helpful. My current struggle is getting the right parts. Here in Aus we can search by Rego number or VIN, but all the websites lie. Seems that the pads suggested are for the non electric brakes.. very frustrating, but you vid gives me confidence when going to the parts places . . . Thanks again
