Mazda Mx5 NC Mk3 Miata rear calliper and brake pad removal and refit.

[@tzarchasm9918]

This wans a life saver! I'd never seen the style of calipers that need you to screw the piston in before, and the trick with the long nose pliers was so damn useful

Absolutely brilliant, really pleased it helped 👍👍

Great video!! So I'm been looking around on videos on KZbin how to replace rear brakes on mx5 Miata but the other videos i seen they show there's a bolt in back of the caliper that u can remove and use an Allen key to push back the piston but the way u show how in ur video was awesome! So my question to u is by pushing in the piston like u showed in ur video is safe will not mess up piston sense there is an alley key adjustment for the piston

Thank you for the kind words I really do appreciate it, and I’m really pleased it helped you out 👍 due to the rules and regulations on KZbin I have to say that the video is for entertainment purposes only! However what I can say is that this way of doing it has never faulted me and I’ve done plenty in the past!!

Thank you so much for this 👍😊

My caliper bolts are 12mm. I couldn't see any indentation on the piston face; is that a problem? My handbrake now has too much travel. It self adjusts as the pads wear but does it self adjust the other way?

[@jackos5s]

I would suggest that piston has been changed from original! They should have groves that allows you to twist them back so that you can change the pads. In relation to the handbrake cable it’s clearly evident that you have a problem somewhere on the network, have you tried to adjust it under the gear knob gaiter?

[@Codzilla71]

@@jackos5s yeah, the piston has the same cross grooves as yours but that's it. You seem to suggest there's another indentation on just one of the grooves. The handbrake apparently adjusts itself after some time/use; we shall see.

[@jackos5s]

Sorry I thought you meant the grooves, the tiny little indentation should be there, however if you can see it or the piston has been replaced it may not have one. Therefore just turn it until until it won’t go anymore then unwind it to the nearest groove. Did your handbrake cable work correctly before?
