Seized Brake Calipers -- 2002.5 Proteg5 The disc brakes in the Mazda Proteg5 are single-piston floating-caliper design. That means that there's only one piston and it's operating on the inner pad. The reaction slides the floating portion of the caliper the other direction, and it's this...

So these vibrations have been getting really annoying, it's at just about any speed, worse at higher speeds and around corners, no noise just vibrations and a distinct rotating sound, I replaced all brake pads and rotors and one caliper, drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, and new oem...

I have a fully functional (that includes the e-brake mechanism) set of rear MSP brake calipers with brackets for sale. I bought these for my MP3 in hopes of doing an OEM BBK upgrade along with MZ6 fronts, but have decided to simply rebuild my OEM caliper and keep the brakes stock. This sale is...

Hello, First time posting, hope I'll do good :-) I need to replace the brake light (the longer one on the drive side*), not the one into the tailgate, on my CX-5 2014. I'm in Canada, in the Quebec province, anyone had a contact for that ? And second, I've research in the forum and online...

All the brake light in my 2008 CX-9 are out. Every other light: head lights, high beams, turn signals, flashers, reverse, license plate light work. They all work. I checked the bulbs, highly unlikely that all went out at the same, but was desperate. I checked the fuses, both in the glove box...

About to do my first brake job on my Mazda 5 and I can't decided to stick to Mazda brakes or go with a brand like ATE. What has been your experience with non-mazda parts? Where can I get a deal in the Toronto Canada area on parts? Thanks

2012 Mazda5 Sport 6MT. For the first couple of minutes in the mornings, it sounds like there is some grinding noises coming from the front brakes. This goes away after a couple of stops. Pad wear is minimal with plenty of life left, and the rotors are in fine shape. Is this just from the OEM...

Whenever I go visit my dad, I drive Angeles Forest HWY (google it). Fun road. But for the second time in a year, I've 'warped' my rotors. Anyone else have to deal with warped rotors on their 6? Would drilled or slotted rotors be better than regular rotors? Seems like it would only really...

I'm planning on doing my brakes today, but am not confident enough to do this completely on my own. I'm only doing the pads which might sound easy enough, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Does anyone happen to know of/have a video to help me with replacing the pads on my 2011 Mazda 3...

Hello- I have been searching the forum for a few days looking for similar issues, but did not find an exact match. I have a 2003 Protege5 and recently replaced brake pads on all four wheels. On the rear I followed the guidance on using the threaded screw to back up the piston, and then tighten...

Yesterday, after driving freeway and stop-and-go through storm in which 5 inches of snow fell, I was 1/2 mile from home, going about 30 mph when I started to brake for a light and the foot peddle violently shook and didn't want to compress, slowing my car but not stopping it and pushing me to...

Hi....I signed up here just for this section of the forum. I'm told I need rotors and brakes and the stealership wants ridiculous money for basic parts. I am looking for front and back, zinc plated, slotted and drilled rotors and brake pads, preferably new. Can someone help direct me as to...

Less Brake Dust and More Stopping Power: After the overwhelming success of the CorkSport Front Brake Pads for the Mazdaspeed 3 and Front Brake Pads for the Mazdaspeed 6 we decided to offer the pads to all Mazda 3, Mazda 5 and Mazda 2 owners. Designed using a proprietary semi-metallic and...

Hey guys, I need some help with the size of an allen wrench for removing the Brake Caliper + Rotor (2004 Mazda3 SP23)... It's right behind the rotor in a little tube- But there's a cover on it... I've tried every allen wrench I have, and none of them work... Can anyone help me? PLEASE!(dunno)

Hey guys, my brakes are starting to squeal like little piggies and it's obviously not a good sign. I want to know where I can get it inspected (I want to get only the F or R pads, on a budget, if I have to well then both) but yeah. People are telling me not to go with midas or firestone, where...

Hey guys! So here's my dilemma: I have a Sky Blue Mica Cx-5 Sport. After getting it in January the calipers have started to show some noticeable signs of rust. To deal with this, I've decided to paint my calipers, but am torn between choosing red or yellow for the color. What do you think...

I know there is already a guide on how to replace the front rotors and brake pads, however, I was trying to find a guide for the rear. After paying the dealer about $400 to replace the front rotors and brake pads, I decided to do the rear ones myself. This is my first DIY project ever, so I...

2009 Mazda5 Sport, with the 40k and the original brakes. I've just spent an hour with penetrating oil and hammers (rubber mallet, then 4lb. hammer) trying to take the front brake rotors off. I've got the AllData instructions, and there really shouldn't be anything holding them in place once the...

Hi all!! I'm new here and this may have been covered in the past...if it has my apologies for reposting. But, how do you remove the Phillips head bolts that hold the rotors on? I've used all the goodies to no avail. Is there a special trick? Please help as I'm very limited on time and need to...
