[@johnsmith-dm2tq]

i am glad you addressed the screw hole in the rotor because i was ordering rotors and some have it and some dont and thats makes parts hard to order.

[@dmddavismechanicaldevices3830]

This is the best all-around brake and rotor replacement video I have ever seen. Very good job.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thank you. We pick up where everyone else leaves you stranded.

[@Jakevrana]

[@ericviele4379]

About to do the front brakes on my son’s Mazda 6 and I wanted to make sure there isn’t anything unusual about the setup or special tools needed. Your video told me everything I needed to know. Thank you!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

No there wasn't anything crazy that needed to me done on the brakes on this car. If you follow the video you should be fine. Remember to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and to pump the brakes when you are finished BEFORE you start the car. You want to make sure you have a nice firm brake pedal before taking off. Hope this helps you out.

[@rogersblanco6056]

I appreciate this video! I didn't know anti seize and caliper grease were s thing, ill definitely be using it when I do my brakes today 😅

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertsierra1670]

Great enjoyed and thank learned a lot!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jeffandfamily513]

I just replaced all brakes and rotors on my 2014 Mazda 6 Grand Touring and this was very helpful. I will say that I tried both methods when collapsing the calipers, and the $25 tool from Advanced Auto parts was MUCH easier then the process you followed. Great video and thanks again.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching Jeff. Glad this helped you out. Tony

[@user-sp7oy1xo8c]

I've seen shops skip anti seize step and not worry about grease contamination on rotorsand not clean off mineral oil off rotors. You guys very professional well job done !!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@experience787]

Nicely explained and clear video angles... Nice Job

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for checking us out

[@samh3029]

Don't forget to pump the brakes after everything is reassembled. Need to get those caliper pistons back into position. Thumbs up!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Yes..this is very important to do.

[@darrenmurphy913]

Very clear video👍👍

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching. Were you able to replace your brakes?

[@brennena2169]

Great tutorial! Thank you for calling out the bolt head sizes for us DIYers, much appreciated.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub the channel to for more videos like this!

[@frontalisutkozes666]

Thanks for the video. I am going to replace my front brakes on my Mazda 6 2014. I have found the torque specs - the two smaller bolts have 30 to 39 Nm and the two biggers have 92 to 110 Nm in the workshop manual.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@mblackwe11]

good video, I loved the BOSTON accents. I will be doing mine in the near future and I hope this helps me out.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@kingjonathan]

Well? Did it help with your Boston accent? :)

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

The accent of a Southie even sounds aggressive just changing pads. Im in Scotland but could tell is was Mass before I seen the number plate. Great content, cheers mate.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thank you for watching our auto repair video that shows you how to replace the front brakes on a Mazda6. Have a great day!

[@macski6924]

BTW you both sound like the "Car Talk" guys. Maybe you should do a call in podcast too....

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It is something that I have though about. Thanks for watching Don.

[@anoopjain2705]

Thanks for the video! Going to try this on my 2017 today. Do you know what torque you used for the bolts holding the brake pad bracket and caliper in place? (21, 17, 14mm bolts)

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Sorry for late reply, not sure on the torque specs. If you follow the video you should be fine. Hope this helps out

[@anoopjain2705]

@@HomeOwnerRepair I did it by just tightening as much as you did this week… we’ll see if they stay connected :)

[@xxgg]

Other than brake hardware replacement. Is there something one should do with brake padel in between each wheel brakes? Also, is there any steps to follow after brakes are done replacing? As in... pump the brake padels? or wait a bit to do so? or whatever else steps before first drive and during first drive? Thanks.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

When you are done replacing the brakes on both sides, pump the brakes before starting the car to get the brake pedal firm again. Hope this helps you out.

[@franciscofranco9148]

Hello: I wonder, is it necessary to change the discs too? Thank you.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It depends on their condition. If they have like 40,000-50,000 miles on them they may need to be replaced during your next brake job.

[@ginpok6640]

Is it ok if I use anti seize on threaded bolts and caliper grease on all the other lubed parts?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We typically use anti seize on the bolts and caliper grease on the brake caliper pins so that the brake glide easier and function properly.

[@bobwadsworth4799]

I know the parts will be different, but is the process the same for a 2015 Mazda 3 Sport? Thanks.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You should be able to apply some of the general steps show in this video to change your brakes.

[@bdubble1967]

Please, I don't understand this, but I'm trying to get brake rotor/pads for my son's 2015 Mazda 6 sport. Are the brakes different from the grand touring model?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

The dealer can run the VIN # and get the correct ones. Your local auto parts store should be able to get the right ones for you.

[@MkKazaka92]

Can you explain why you greased the outside of the new brake hardware, the side that touches the caliper when slotting it in ? I understand it’s metal to metal but it’s not moving … right ?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It helps to prevent the brake pad from squeaking.

[@desolator108]

i changed my brake pads , it seems I have to press the pedal further for the brakes to engage. Do I need to bleed the lines or something?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It may not hurt to bleed the brakes, If they are just a little more soft than they were it could be due to the fact that everything has been lubricated properly and is no longer frozen in place.

[@paulgator68]

Is the 2018 Mazda 6 signature the same exact process?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It may be a similar process

[@user-sp8yi9rf8v]

etwas MEHR Licht ware not bad, ansonsten supi video thank You Sir.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You're welcome

[@markomare9081]

Is it recommended to change rotors-discs with pads? , i have only 35k miles why should i change rotors?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

If the rotors are OE rotors inspect them to see if they are in good shape and have enough material left. If they are deemed safe to use you should be able to pad slap them.

[@spookywagons3034]

I replaced both front rotors and pads. Front left keeps grinding now. What’s going on? I greased pins, used brake quiet spray on pads.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

They shouldn't grind. You may want to take the tire off and turn the brake rotor by hand to see if you can tell where the noise is coming from. Check the brake dust shield (backing plate) to see if it is hitting the brake rotor.

[@robertallen6591]

Aren’t all the clips the same on the Mazda 6?

[@arturolucero9038]

I know it says on the title, but is it really the same for a 2017?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It should be the same or similar procedure.

[@kickassamd]

Maybe overkill... but why not use a torque wrench and get all of them set properly to specs?

[@beckst3]

I wanna know where you found a front rotor for one of these, under $50 😂😂😂

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You could try Amazon. Here is a link amzn.to/3gbwSkv

[@walbertjenkinson]

No love for the caliper bracket. A wire brush doesn't cut it. This is the most common mistake made while doing a brake job. I have had to retrain technicians who had been doing brake jobs for decades. You should be putting your grease on bare metal, not polished rust. A brake pad will never fight you if you do this every time.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Depending on the severity of the rust we usually file them AND wire brush them.
