As former owner of Mazda5 you might see this car again in your shop due to same problem: "sinking pedal". Well ABS module on these are weak spot, when is activated some of solenoids do not return in original position and oil is traveling longer distances which create sinking pedal. Sometimes you need to take car to gravely roads reactivate ABS to get firm pedal. I replaced my module eventually with one from ebay, and avoid dealer visit for programming I reused old software part from old one. New units are 600 700 new only part, plus cost of programming. Many people changed master cylinder and perform endless brake bleeding trying to fix issue, and at end all comes to ABS.

Well couple days later I needed to stop and the pedal went right to the floor. Talk about a heart in throat moment. Had it towed to my mechanic and as expected the Brake Master Cylinder was shot. Car had 220k miles at that point. Now at 245k miles and still runs great.

Every time you remove a disk rotor, you have to clean the rust off the wheel hub. Often alloy wheels will stick to steel rotors because of dissimilar metal corrosion or water ingress. When you brush off the rust with your rotary brush, why not apply some sealant to stop the corrosion returning or the dissimilar metals from corroding? You might never get to work on that vehicle again but, someone will and you never know if someone else applies the sealant, it might make your life easier one day too? Luckily in this case, the rotors had been painted stopping that corrosion.

23:00 isn't it the farthest wheel from the abs motor for vehicles with abs? For this particular vehicle, it makes no difference, because abs motor is near the master cylinder, but there are many vehicles with abs motor located on the opposite side. And thanks for the Eric O style parts cleaner entrance 😄😄😄.

I suspect the contamination of the rotor is due to the Chinesium manufacturing process.

More likely is initial material transfer from nu brake pads. Scuffing the ol rotors might help, but Shop's liability (& best braking)

Ray I was watching a video today that reminded me of you. It was titled “ Brake Cleaner the Amazing Wasp Killer”. I was looking for some method to kill a yellow jacket nest at home. I had to watch this brake video. Thanks for your informative videos.

i like a little bit of liquid wrench on the bleeder valves as soon as i take off wheels so they soak while doing the other stuff. then they usually don't snap off and flare nut wrench for the master cylinder

Hi Ray! Thanks for posting incredible video material for me to place my eye balls on daily. No real qualm aside from a technicality-mazdaspeed platforms don't come in auto or non-turbo so you worked on a regular mazda 3. Cheers!

I did all the mechanical work for my son's car when he lived at home. (He doesn't like working on cars like I do). Anyway, when he moved away, after a couple years, he wore his brake pads out AND then the brake master cylinder started going out too. < But he didn't know why his brakes weren't working very well. I found that out after I drove many miles to him, and got into his car to check them out. - They were so bad, I had to use the parking brake, in conjunction w/ the regular brakes, to stop safely behind traffic. It's those times that you are glad the parking brake works (slowing that 1-2 wheels in the rear).

The no internet connection is why I always like to have music on my phone, laptop, or mp3 player of some sort around. During a power outage, I use my mp3 player that uses AAA batteries. I usually use my phone for music but at times I don't have connection on my phone, so I have music downloaded, so I will always have something to listen to.

The blanker on the 3 Bl your working on is for a clutch pipe. The mazda 5s had a remote reservoir, funny enough we use to change alot of the cross over pipes on the 5s here in England... Joseph

In regard to brake fluid damaging paint. Many decades ago, I worked at an AMC dealership. That was the first year AMC Eagles came out. One of the new cars came in with the vast majority of the paint damaged due to brake fluid leaking on it. The body shop we sent it to had to strip the paint down to bare metal to get rid of all the fluid. Then if course, the repainting happened. Cost the transportation company around $5000. for the repaint.
