How do u put a piston back in the calliper? I had a hard time pushing it back, really hard time, almost didnt throw away my tool, cause it wasnt helping too much, and yeah, mazda 3 uses star , or Torx set, its either 45, or 40 isnt sure now, look at the pictures,I think it says 45 on it, still when u buy torx key set u get them both, so u are OK,also look how bad my rear were, only 33000 on`em, but at least now Mazda is using better compound on those pads, at least that's what my service manager at the local shop told me, here are pics, and yeah,he gave me a quate for 294$ for rear brake replacement, with rotors turning included, damn I was like wtf? also he goes and say something like yeah, mazda used compound that was too soft on the pad in the rear, and IM like duh, how do u think we get all that dust from? air? that's what I was thinking , I just could get myself to say it out loud, cause I will be back there for some work on my car, oil, glove box, side door panels, so that would might piss him off a little,so the ? is, IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO PUT PISTON BACK INTO POSITION ON THE CALLIPER? or it is that hard?and yes i did open the resourva for brake fluid
