By far the best automotive tutorial ive ever viewed on youtube! She covers all the angles, including hose replacement. without alot of extraneous dialog she does it succinctly. thanks

[@alexl2174]

So clear, easy to follow, professional, no BS. You've given me the guidance / confidence to DIY my break, rotors, calipers myself. Thank you very much.

These are professional videos but can I point out. After the slide pins were lubricated there was grease on her gloves which was transferred to the brake pad faces which she did not not remove with brake cleaner . Otherwise great video

Sue, you don't know me, but I love you. (We need to get married.) You are flawless in your description of how you work on cars. I have a 2012 Mazda 3 that I've been working on as a project and every video I look for is never enough.....unless I find one from 1A Auto with you telling me what to do. I can't even listen to anyone else tell me about my car on KZbin. If it ain't Sue, I can't listen. Thank youuuu!!!! #NewSubscriber

Excellent video, all pertinent details are there. Just one thing, can you clarify "pump up" statement. Does this refer to pushing the pedal down?

[@doroteobeltran6966]

I think so

[@Tevorek]

He’s pumping the brakes to get fluid back to the caliper. So he holds his foot on the brake, once she opens the bleed valve the pedal loses pressure and he holds the pedal to the floor, she closes the valve and then he starts pumping until there is pressure again so when she opens the bleed valve again fluid comes out and gets rid of any air that may be in there

[@Bassmastahflex]

Quick question how many times should I pump my brakes before I gravity bleed

[@sendit1158]

Another great video from Barb

[@diavolorosso69]

Great work- your videos are some of the best on KZbin- thank you so much!

[@colleengault6194]

This video leaves me confident I can handle this repair myself. But, my Mazda3 is a 2012 and I don't find a comparable video for anything after 2011. Are folks finding this tutorial still works for slightly newer years?

+Colleen Gault We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@jackmacdonald7636]

what is the type or drive is the torque wrench I need for this job? and where do I find the 7mm allen bits? And approx price for both? The mechanic gal sounds like she's in MA?

[@colleengault6194]

Add to the list of tools: hose pliers or rubber boot flair wrenches 11 and 13mm

1A Auto Parts Hello. I watched the video for mazda 3. i have the same car and i have one problem. the service technician changed my front shock absorbers a month ago and from the same moment I heard a sound when I move suddenly forward or backward, the same sound is heard ... something like "tak" and the same sound is heard on both sides ... "tak- tak ".... and it annoys me terribly ... and no service has revealed what is at stake. the same sound is heard when under the handbrake ... either forward or backward. I don't know what it could be, if you know something please tell me. Tnx

[@gezafalukozi2391]

Great step by step. Recommend for any mazda owner wanti g to save money with mechanics.

[@dustinstrasser4701]

If you're not cutting off the line a 14mm will hold it still

3:04 Watch how the new flex hose randomly appears...
