    Recommendations for new brake pads?

    Pre 2000s, Power Slot and Stop Tech were two of the most recognized names. Out of nowhere came this brand call Power Stop and it confused quite a lot of people. Name is certainly clever and sounds impressive, and they were WAY cheaper than established brands. FWIW, both Power Slot and Stop...

    Can't remove parking brake cable on rear caliper

    Did you take a pic of the 'other' end? What I'd try before taking it to a grinder... Remove caliper and rest it on a solid surface. Remove (replace) the slider pin boot. Hold the exposed sleeve with joint plyers with pressure in the opposite direction as you whack the mount with a few good...

    Can't remove parking brake cable on rear caliper

    Gotcha, I guess I cannot relate. I don't find seized parts due to weather (salt) an issue but I guess you folks have been there/done that -carry on. EDIT: If possible, could you post a before pic? Is it frozen together to that point where you can't delineate the sleeve from the housing? Can...

    Bilstein B4 and OE Strut Bearing

    ~6 years, ~60K later... The bad one was going out prob ~50K ish. Not too optimistic the "limited lifetime" warranty claim will fly but even if it did I need to pay to ship it back. The warranty just covers a new replacement (again will likely need to pay for shipping), and I'm still left with...

    Guide: Mazda5 PJCan 4.1 Canbus

    A member here help me acquire this device. I’m not sure if they want to be called out so I’ll stay anonymous. Big Thank You! PJCan is a custom canbus adapter that fills a void for about $50. You must use it with an Android based radio. It works with other Mazdas but you'll need to check. Has...
