caliper

so new car, and I'm having a problem difficult to diagnose. first i drive the car home to find the driver rear brake smoking, take the caliper off and notice the calipers, rotors, pads are brand new but installed without the hardware. cleaned/ lubed everything reassembled and made it 40 miles no...

Hey Gang, What size Allen key should I use to turn the adjustment screw on the rear calipers? Feeling pretty defeated after I spent almost 2 hours replacing the pads and rotor on one wheel only to basically feel like I stripped the adjustment screw. I had undo everything and install the old...

Hello fellow proud mazda owners! I was planning to replace my brake pads today. However, I just spent the last 4 hours trying to pry open the passenger side read caliper with no success. I drive a Protege ES 03. The rear calipers only have one sliding pin, the other "pin" actually acts like a...

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...

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- 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...

This caliper apparently measures in imperial (inches) and I have 3 pictures of the measurements that I need deciphered LOL. My friend let me borrow this to measure my old rotors and this is what I got. The way I had to do this is that I had to add something (harddrive magnets) to each side of...

So yesterday, I had the P5 up on jackstands to rotate the tires (severe wear on the inside of the front tires, so I guess toe is out, but that's a different issue), and I noticed that the driver-side rear wheel still rotates freely when the parking brake lever is fully deployed. Common problems...

My caliper is seizing and im looking for a working msp caliper asap! thanks

I posted on this issue in a different thread yesterday, but after reading up on this it seems like most people have a different brake-seizing problem to mine. Other people find that the little allen-socket adjustment gear seizes or strips--mine turns fine in both directions, but the piston...

As the title states. Let me know if you've got some MZ6 brake parts laying around. Looking for front & rear rotors, calipers, pads. Interested in MS6 brakes, also. Will the MS6 rotor/caliper clear a 16" wheel?

Hi all, I just got P5 with 87k on her right now and planning to spend sometime replacing spark plugs, wires but not sure if it is good idea to change coil packs also. does NGK have coil packs for P5, if they don't, what's the best fit for NGK plugs and wires? Both front side calipers are really...

Hi all, Today i smelled a weird smell and it seems that the left front wheel is stuck -- cannot rotate -- and the brake is v v hot. Does this mean that the front caliper is seized? Could it be anything else (like the distribution valve)? It just happened suddenly after getting new tires at...

So I bought some new pads and rotors for the 5 today, since one side, the pad was rubbing and makin an awful racket. got everything off, got the new parts, even borrowed the fancy caliper compression tool. figured it would be a snap to get everything back together. first off - the compression...
