I need my car tomorrow and I'm trying to do a brake pad/rotor job on the rear. I got the old rotor and caliper replaced but when I went to compress the piston back into the caliper, I followed the instructions here: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/sho...nce-Mode-for-2016-2017-CX-5-electronic-brakes to allow me to compress the piston. I'm using a C-clamp as I don't have that little tool. Was told it would work. But I can't seem to compress the piston at all with the C-clamp. I just doesn't want to go back into the caliper. When I activated the maintenance mode I heard the motor run and thought maybe that would make it retract into the caliper then i could just push it in, but it actually pushed the piston OUT and i can't seem to get is started back in. Here is a photo of the caliper with my C-clamp on it. What do I do to reseat the piston???
My EPB maintenance mode light is on and the switch is flashing yellow.
I also tried turning maintenance mode off in case I did something wrong so i could try again, but the instructions don't seem to work. It's still in maintenance mode and switch is still flashing. Also had some brake fluid squeeze out of the rubber around the piston. I had the brake fluid lid off before i set the maintenance mode. Did that hurt something? Thought it should be off if compressing the piston.
