You’re welcome that’s why I do it. Tell your friends. 😁👍

[@mosichumo1897]

I have told several friends

[@toddac61]

On my 2015 the rear caliper froze up at about 90K miles and needed to be replaced. Also at about 120K one of the slide pins froze up I had to use a 5lb hammer and pound it about 30 times to get it out. You should check the slide pins grease every year. Also if you are cleaning out the bracket where the slide pins go into remove the rubber boot first. I didn't and put it in a parts washer and it grew to twice its normal size due to the solvent.

[@vineetdham4985]

Hey Andy! Really an informative video. Thanks for it. As I’m doing this job myself for the first time and wanted to confirm torque on those bolts for bracket and calliper. Brake bracket- 75 ft-lbs and calliper bolts- 24 ft-lbs

[@munabio1169]

This video and the comments helped me a lot. Thank y’all 🙏🏾

[@mrich7363]

Well I did both front and back and this video helped a lot for the back . Fast and simple

[@mapex311]

8:44 pads were a huge pita to get back into the brackets. Took me a few tries, kept popping back out!

Hi Andy We just carried out a replacement rear pad change with your procedure, (right hand drive) all good now. Did you forgot to mention to pump the pedal first?? Pistons spun (both red and orange lights flashing) until we pumped up the brakes and redid the service on then off. Thanks for the video 👍

[@AndyTheXTech]

I didn’t have to on this one. I did it exactly how I showed. Sorry maybe because it was right hand drive.

[@markweaver1263]

Nicely explained, good video!

[@AndyTheXTech]

Thanks 👍

[@mrich7363]

This really help me great video .

[@jastan11]

Does torqueing to spec just mean yank it as hard as you can?

[@BTom16]

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@AndyTheXTech]

Your welcome! 👍

[@user-bg1uk9fr5v]

I just changed the rear brakes on my Mazda cx5 I didn’t know bout the maintenance mode and I drove it and everything feels fine and no dash light came on should how would I know if I messed up the caliper

[@danitheplayah]

Last time i replaced the acuator without put the vehicle to maintenance mode, since that time each time i pull the Ebrake it always show the yellow P light blinking. The scan tool says the acuator disengage. Does that means i ruined my acuator?

[@medford9574]

very well done thank you

[@AndyTheXTech]

Your welcome! 👍

[@stjani10]

Interesting that the maintenance mode is push 5 times the engine button, because on my 2017 (2016 body) it's 3 times. These EPB's are really fragile, really eat up my pads and discs even. Also since i've done the pads a few times sometimes i need to drive the car a bit before the maintenance mode can be turned off again. Otherwise it give's me an error.

[@AndyTheXTech]

Ya I’ve heard others say the same about the error message. I wonder if it havens on older vehicles because of the calipers need to be replaced.

[@ProJanitor]

Okay I’ve seen these coated brake rotors, but I’m curious how these compare to painted brake rotors. Any reason in particular the coated rotors were chosen?

[@AndyTheXTech]

Well everything is going to rust eventually. The only reason we went with these price was good.

[@ProJanitor]

@@AndyTheXTech okay, much appreciated. The reason I asked was because I wasn’t sure why my calipers look dingy, even though, when I bought the car new, the calipers were coated. Wasn’t sure if they wore out like paint but looks like they have similar properties

[@artmcewen3165]

Thanks! makes my next job simpler. What are the torque specs for the caliper & pad housing?

[@AndyTheXTech]

Rear caliper is 22 ft/lbs the bracket is 75 ft/lbs 👍

[@artmcewen3165]

@@AndyTheXTech thanks! Just having a post brake job beer!

[@alifarzad8487]

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive guide. Just two questions: 1- do you have any suggestion for brand of pads and rotor and from to buy them in Canada? 2- is the procedure the same for AWD?

[@AndyTheXTech]

You’re welcome! As far as the brand goes, it’s all preference. Normally just a higher quality ceramic brake pad will do. (Raybestos) And yes, this vehicle was an all wheel drive, but it should be the same either way . 👍

[@mr.j1600]

Same procedure for parking brake for a 2019?

[@colonjteddy]

Awesome u just save some $$$ thank you 🙏

[@on1ytheb3st]

I have a 2016 CX-5 that falls into that rear-caliper/EPB module fiasco TSB (R052/16C). We do have brake pulsation, especially at higher speeds when braking, and the pads on the rear are in need of replacement according to a Mazda tech. Could we need the updated rear calipers from the TSB along with pads and rotors? How do you determine if the rotors in the front or the rear need replacement?

[@AndyTheXTech]

if you replace the pads you should replace the rotors. some times if you feel the pulsation/vibration in the steering wheel then its coming from the front and if you feel it in the seat its from the rear.

[@on1ytheb3st]

@@AndyTheXTech how should I determine if the rear calipers are dragging stated in that TSB? It sounds like the way thought it was the EPB module for a while but turns out the rear calipers are the culprit. If one pad on each caliper is worn more than the other?

[@AndyTheXTech]

@@on1ytheb3st you could try with the wheels off the ground, pump the brake pedal a couple times then get out and try to turn the wheels. If there binding up or stuck then there is something causing it at that wheel.

[@on1ytheb3st]

@@AndyTheXTech Its apparently the EPB actuator on the rear calipers that causes the dragging. Creates a situation when you deactivate the parking brake, the pressure from the actuator isn't relieved completely. I guess I'll lift the rear and actuate the parking brake, then deactivate it and see if I can spin the wheels. They should spin completely freely right? Do I need both rear wheels to be off the ground to see if the rear wheel spins freely?

[@K03sport]

​@@on1ytheb3st temperature and pad thickness difference. If the pads are dragging, there will be a greater increase in temperature compared to non-dragging pads. 2nd, a dragging pad (stuck slide pins), one of the pads will be thinner than the other. Pads are supplied to wear evenly (equal pressure), but if the caliper is stuck then one pad (inner) could be thinner than the other.

[@shontapl]

Do you need the ebp released for front and rear brakes and rotors?

[@stjani10]

No only rear

[@tuantq06]

It's very important to put the car into maintenance mode before service or you will turn a 30' job into 5hr one.

[@AndyTheXTech]

Yup 👍

[@drew5992]

Hey bro quick question? Are TRQ struts good quality for the money? Will they last atleast a year?

[@AndyTheXTech]

I think there good. And I think they warranty them for at least a year.

[@generaldegree1732]

Thank you

[@AndyTheXTech]

Your welcome! 👍

[@fredwesche6292]

I would put the disc brake quiet on the hardware where the pads sit as well, they can squeak from that area if not done.

[@waldooo851]

Just did my brakes and only had to push the start button 3 times 😐

[@buiangbinh4232]

very thanks

[@AndyTheXTech]

Your welcome

[@oldsoul8051]

For the EPB how come some people twist and push the piston back

[@stjani10]

On that car you should twist/turn, not push back only. You can see because the piston is not flat and has markings for it.

[@reyakisakura3971]

At 2:20, you said let go. Are you also releasing the gas pedal?

[@AndyTheXTech]

Yes, after the switch soon after lift your foot off the gas

[@garyharlan7999]

I didn’t put it in maintenance mode and still changed the brakes is this a problem?

[@fredwesche6292]

For the rears its a huge problem, put the car in maintenance mode.

[@eugenegutierrez5106]

I have 3 questions for u: 1. This procedure is the same for ALL Mazda electric e-brake? 2. Can I use the C -clamp rather than took you use? 3. Is it necessary to do those step you showed us, or is there a way we can skip ?

[@AndyTheXTech]

Not sure about about other Mazdas. Clamp should work but be careful not the brake the motor on the back of the caliper. If it wasn’t necessary I wouldn’t show it.

[@w8tng4nepiphany]

CAN YOU SHOW torque specs on the caliper bolts please @@AndyTheXTech

[@mrau92me]

I was going to use a c clamp until I realized the electronic parking brake cover was plastic, meaning I wasn't sure it could handle the c clamp's force and didn't want to break it, so I went to local parts store and borrowed the tool he uses in this video for free (as long as you return it).

[@michaelmaxwell568]

What’s the 19 mm open end wrench on the caliper bolts while you were tightening with the socket? Purpose?

[@jlmrule336]

He was holding the nut from spinning that mounts the caliper to the caliper bracket where the caliper slide pins are . Hopefully that was a good description.

[@hjer731]

Otherwise it will spin

[@tonyyan1843]

I think you should rotate the piston instead of just pressing it in?

[@ibrewbeer]

In service mode, the piston can simply be pressed inward...no need to rotate it.

[@hulkxsmash7951]

What year is this CX5?

[@AndyTheXTech]

2017 it’s in the description

[@hulkxsmash7951]

@@AndyTheXTech Ahhhh damn didn't see it. I have a 2018 Touring CX5. Process still the same for that year?

[@josephspaz1184]

I love the torque to spec but i see no torque wrench

[@AndyTheXTech]

Master tech torque 😂

[@fredwesche6292]

The coated rotors and brakes need to be bedded in as well.

[@stereolababy]

why say "torque to spec" without mentioning what the torque # is?

[@curtismatteson3357]

If anyone is having trouble re-engaging the parking brake, press the button in sequence with the flashing on the parking brake button. Probably spent 5 minutes messing with it before trying that

[@AndyTheXTech]

Thanks, this one worked but I’m sure it could give some people trouble.

[@sarahelliott2046]

Im squealing. It's time.
