if anyone has trouble with the pins put both pieces under and one pin in then use pliars to get the second pin in. Spent 20 mins hurting my hands before I did that
This looks to be the same setup as the Gen 4 Mazda 3. At least, it's the same for my 2024. I was looking at the rear brake setup while doing a wheel swap and one that confused me is where exactly the caliper pins are. Shouldn't those also need to be serviced by adding some fresh grease to them?
Great question I actually didn't because it was a sealed piston, but its possible you may need to. Seek manual advice or by all means respond in the comment if you know otherwise and I will update. Appreciate the question.
The garage want to charge me more for the rear break on my 2021 mazda3 he said he need to program it on the computer for the e break lol , are you posting front break video soon. great job!
@@allen2389 no I didn’t change them but I ended up removing rust from them. And yes you need to unscrew the 2 bolts and don’t hit it with a hammer instead use the spare hole put a screw that fits it and keep screwing , its gonna detached by itself
Do u need to replace the rear brake pad clips? Because when i got the rear pads/rotors from dealership theh said u reuse them. Tht why they didnt sell me any?
If memory serves, with most pads you get a set of clips in the box. If you do I’d change them it won’t hurt, however they are generally pretty strong, shouldn’t break and can likely be reused. If they’re not in the box they are not a wearable part and you should be fine.
👍 Did front and back brakes today. Your video was very helpful. Nice work!!
What brake pads you end up using ?
thanks for the video looks easy. i’m no mechanic but I was quoted a $288 for rear and I paid $44 for the pads.
Exactly why I did it myself and made the video :)

Did you press the accelerator to the floor and hold it when you put the brakes in and out of service mode?
How hard is it to change the rotors, too?
Do you need to add pad grease on the metal to metal contact areas to prevent squealing? I usually use CeraTec Mintex grease for my brake jobs.

When I need to change mine I will for sure, I believe however it’s a very similar procedure to the rear by and large.
Hey did you have to put support behind all the the tires to prevent the car from rolling?
The car was on jack stands so no rolling or support required.
Can you do a video on how to change your rotors
Did you change the rotors? I need to and im assuming its just 2 more bolts?
