2014 Mazda 6 How to change front Rotors and Brakes

[@wingzero3069]

love how you're playing above and beyonds' sun and moon in the background and we're all we need

[@eh567]

Thanks, this was helpful, saved me a ton of money changing the brakes on my wife's car.

[@HansGarage]

Eric Henn I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you!

[@khriskardashian]

above and beyond in the background thouhh!!!🔥👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@russellharper6583]

That hole should have been commented on. that is the way to push the rotor out with a bolt

[@aneurysm36]

i only came to the comments to see how many people would complain about tiny things you did different than them

[@SlowCarsFastSFV]

Did you clean the new rotors with brake cleaner to remove the oil that is on there? Did you grease the backing plates and contact points on the brake pads to prevent squealing? Did you clean the shims to remove brake dust that can lead to dragging issues in the Mazda brake system? Why didn't you clean inside the rotor housing and top and bottom? You remove 1 13mm bolt and flip the top hat or do both 13mm and remove it completely to gain access to the pads. Sorry, I've been researching this alot and I had some questions after watching your methods. Also, what is up with people wearing sandals and doing car work? Are boots really that difficult to wear? May save a bad injury if something falls on your feet. Thanks for sharing this. Jason

Great video, helped me replace my rotors on my 2016!

[@zsadiq5]

No if you just want to replace the pads, then you just need to take off the two small bolts on the top and bottom of the caliper, then you can lift that piece off and replace your pads. You will still need the piston tool to get the piston back in since your new pads will be much thicker than the old ones.

[@BradleyBruhh]

Hey I also have a 2016, my breaks just now need replacing, how do you know if your rotors should be replaced also?

[@zsadiq5]

Brad , if you feel shaking when braking or just feel the rotor surface and see if it is smooth..most of the time you can also just get them machined at an auto parts store. it just depends on your budget and the time frame you are working with.

[@Jr-nt1kp]

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks

[@DUKETACTICS333]

It look like he let the air out of the dust boot. It look like he just put the pad right on top of it. Hopefully he didn't pinched his dust boot around the caliper.

[@ZeroColdx911]

You forgot to grease the guide pins

[@DUKETACTICS333]

Oh yea.. looks like he did something a lot worse. He forgot to let some of the air out of the Dust Boot around the piston. Hopefully he didn't pinched that boot after driving the vehicle

[@myhtcevo4g]

Yeppp

[@myhtcevo4g]

And he shouldve opened the bleeder so the dirty fluid isnt pushed into the abs module

[@Sammm107]

Sick track list man. Subbed

[@_djedi97]

Sun and moon! Dope track yo good vid

[@BreadAndGatorade]

Why using PB blaster on rotors? I laughed... Looks like you live in SoCal no rust. Could have taken the rotor off with 1 kick Also can depress piston with your fingers. If not just pry on the old pad with anything The number one thing one a brake job is replace the hardware. WHere the pads slide. and clean the rust off the bracket. Also lube the slide pins. Living in SoCal you won't have to worry that you skipped that part though. Thanks for the video but it's not comprehensive

[@mmohd223]

I think you should put the car on maintenance mode before changing anything.

[@onexsp1492]

Not necessarily for the front rotors, although it would be good idea anyways

[@bearstephens6722]

Why didn’t you remove/clean the hardware and what’s your reasoning for not greasing the slide pins?

[@mochaluna8087]

exactly my thoughts

[@mikeschiavoni5973]

Mazda brake don't like the pistons pushed in with the bleeder closed. Rear brakes are tricky, knowledge required to do it right.

[@89elmonster]

I couldn't find the part where you remove these clips that go in with the pad. Does it have those clips?

[@laohantun7404]

I like the way you knocked the drum with ratchet handle.

[@HansGarage]

Han's Garage - Where anything can be used as a hammer :)

[@laohantun7404]

We got to respect the tools mate, if my ex teacher saw me doing that I'll get smeck on my head.

[@HansGarage]

I honestly can care less. My tools, my rules.

[@Goodboynyc]

So you COULD care less.

[@RNBYT97]

Hahahaha "respect" the tools? You must not get much respect in life then. BTW it's not a DRUM it's a DISC...now go back to your teacher and have him slap you please.

[@TheItalianStallion36]

good job Han

[@JC-sd3vh]

no bleeding of brake fluid necessary?

[@kat0197]

This is awesome when ppl fix car without tools like hammer. And try to fix a car in PIJAMAS!!!!!!!!

[@ACGVISUALS]

A 2016 model wouldn't be to much different than this i would imagine? its all pretty much the same, mines a basic mazda 6 model.

[@MilitaryPolice2010]

That's one way to use a ratchet.

[@HansGarage]

And many other ways :)

[@mikeschiavoni5973]

Dude, open the bleeder, brakes will be hard now. Then the back brakes require releasing the rear electronic parking brake.

[@TheCATOJONES]

If I were just looking to remove/replace brake pads is it necessary to remove the brake caliper? I saw how they just popped out. I didn't see a way for them to be replaced without the disassembly of the brake caliper. If it can be done without having to do so then I would appreciate if you can explain how!

[@TheCATOJONES]

Also, why do you have to press in the piston? Is that something that is necessary for pad replacement or only when replacing the rotors as you are doing in the video?

[@HansGarage]

You have to take off the caliper because you have to press the piston. The reason why is because older brake pads wear down and they get thinner. If you put new brake pads in they are going to be thicker and the gap between the new brake pads will not fit the rotor, so you are increasing that gap to fit the rotor. I hope that helps you understand better :)

[@TheCATOJONES]

Gotcha, that makes sense. So for pad replacement, I would remove the caliper, and then pads. I would push the piston back, and then place the new pads? For the rear pads, is it the same process? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, it is very much appreciated!

[@HansGarage]

yes same procedure for the rear but you need to have a special tool for the rear to push the piston. Rear brakes don't need to be replaced as often as the front ones. Watch the other mazda video I have for the rear brakes if you need to change them out as well

[@HansGarage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/roi7p4ukh7qIoq8

[@storytellers6367]

Will changing the Rear Brake Pads Be done the same way?

[@HansGarage]

+Story Tellers yeap except the rear brake calipers. You need the compressor and you have to spin it to compress

[@apassionfortangling3671]

No, you have to wind the piston back in and line up the groove in the face of the piston to accept the pip in the brake pads. I also suggest you watch a few more videos from people that know what they are doing!

[@OmniEtcetera]

What's your jack point? Did you use a hydraulic trolley jack?

[@HansGarage]

Last Outlawz yeap I used my floor jack that lifts up to 19inchs off the ground and I usually go up to 4-5 clicks on the jack stands

[@OmniEtcetera]

HAN'S GARAGE you just got a like! Where did you place the jack to jack up?

[@HansGarage]

Last Outlawz I usually find the front subframe to jack up and place the jack stands on the jacking point. Most cars have jacking points close to the side skirt :)

[@OmniEtcetera]

Hmm I kept getting told the crossmember I'm just having a hard time figuring it out I'm used to trucks this is my first car I'm trying not to damage anything

[@HansGarage]

Last Outlawz of course! Look into manual and double check where to put them. As long as you put them on the right spot you won't damage anything :)

[@oxidationdre]

what brand rotors u used

[@prostaticline]

What brand of tires are those?

[@ShadowRing0219]

Can't even see the back…

[@hairamrivera5802]

Gareth Emery lol

[@ZeroColdx911]

How much did you torque the nuts?

[@HansGarage]

ZeroColdx911 which nuts?

[@ZeroColdx911]

HAN'S GARAGE ones on the caliper

[@HansGarage]

ZeroColdx911 20 foot pounds

[@tarek3702]

HAN'S GARAGE how do you know how much torque is needed?

[@RealEpicGamers]

Tarek Taher unnecessary just make sure it's tight but don't over tighten obviously Anything on a cars body that is important you want tight anything on the engine you want torqued to specification The best way to do this is to remember how tight it was when you took it off

[@ContasYT]

don't touch with your greasy hands on the pads man, if you do you can always sand them down a bit, be careful

[@HansGarage]

Don't tell me what to do

[@ContasYT]

@@HansGarage was giving you a tip, grease/oil on pads or discs is bad but your life your problem

[@HansGarage]

@ContasYT I know lol I'm just messin with you. If you get a little grease, it not big of a deal it burns out real quick. If you smother all over that's a different story. And no one should sand down their pads, you should know better.

[@ContasYT]

@@HansGarage Well I am a KZbin certified mechanic 😂 and I have also read on the forums that if you get them greasy that's what you should do. What would you recommend to remove grease from pads then?

[@HansGarage]

NOOOOOO. DO NOT sand down brake pads. Like I said, a little bit of grease will burn off. My friends car had no issues after installation. Use brake cleaner or even degreaser IF by any chance you've smothered grease on the pads. Cheers!
