How to properly replace a Brake Pad Set and ensure the brakes operate correctly on Mazda 3?

Take off the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, then unscrew the lug nuts of the wheels, then position the vehicle on jack stands and block the wheels at the other end. Take the wheels off and handle one braking assembly at a time with the other assembled braking assembly as a guide where needed. Check the brake disc, remove the disc to also remove the pads in case the machining is needed. Wash the brake thoroughly using brake system cleaner and then let it dry with a drain pan underneath so that any residue can be captured before disassembling the brake. Do not use compressed air to blow away the brake dust. In the case of front brake pads, use a large C clamp to press the piston into the caliper to provide space where the new pads are to be placed, making sure that the master cylinder reservoir is not filled up. Unscrew the retaining clip and the plastic caps on the caliper mounting bolts and then remove the caliper mounting bolts using a hex bit socket wrench. Pry out the inner brake pad and affix the caliper to the suspension using stiff wire then remove the outer brake pad. Install the inner pad, ensuring that the clips fit into the caliper piston, then a pad on the outer in the caliper bracket. Wipe off the caliper mounting bolts, lubricate the non-threaded part with high-temperature grease, and reattach the bolts and tighten them to the right torque. Lastly, insert the retaining clip into the holes where the caliper locations are and screw the ends under the caliper mounting bracket. With rear brake pads, turn the parking brake lever to the open end using channel lock pliers, take out the plastic caps and the caliper mounting bolts. Be careful not to lose the spring retaining clip and remove the caliper, then support the caliper with wire. Removed the inner and outer brake pads and turned the piston clockwise pushing it back into the caliper with a retraction tool or needle-nose pliers. Install the inner and outer pads in the caliper bracket, clean the caliper mounting bolts, smear the high-temperature grease, reposition the bolts, and tighten them to the required torque. Reconnect the parking brake cable, making sure that the ball stud is positioned in the lever and verify the parking brake to be working and adjust accordingly. In order to fit the new brake pads, fully insert the piston into the caliper bore by turning it clockwise. Attach a hose to the caliper bleed screw and put the other end that is attached in a container and open the bleed screw as the piston is pulled away to gather excess brake fluid. Once the caliper has been reinstalled, tighten the mounting bolts to the designated torque, carefully press the brake pedal several times to contact the pads with the disc, examine the level of the brake fluid and add it, as needed, to ensure the brakes are functioning properly and then place the vehicle back into regular service.

Mazda 3 Brake Pad Set

The Mazda 3 Brake Pad Set will provide the stopping power required by your compact car by converting the movement of your car into heat by braking using controlled friction. The pads are joined to a steel backing plate with a meticulously developed lining, and when kinetic power is converted to thermal energy by pressing two pads against the rotor, the wheels are decelerated with surety. The guidelines applied in the factories indicate a minimum lining thickness; thus, pads have to be changed before this limit is met, which becomes easier through the incorporated acoustic signals or electronic sensors notifying about wear. Mazda owners over the years were allowed to select among ceramic, semi-metallic, organic, and newer hybrid pads that were made to fit the same caliper but to meet different priorities. Ceramic blends are quiet and clean, semi-metallic recipes are tested in heavy heat with no fade, organic pads are smooth to touch in normal cruising, and hybrids attempt to offer bite, durability, and low dust. Nevertheless, every Brake Pad Set has a common mission, which is friction that is consistent without glaze or rotor wear. The disc brakes became the center of attention and fame because they have better fade resistance than drums, and the modern design of the 3 leverages this history, providing it with consistent performance even when the brakes are subjected to repeated hard stops. The key to keeping a Mazda safe is a regular check-up (usually at 50,000 miles), since worn pads increase the stopping distance and threaten rotor integrity. A new Brake Pad Set will re-establish the factory feeling and keep your Mazda responsive in the traffic or on twisty roads.

Q: How to properly replace a Brake Pad Set and ensure the brakes operate correctly on Mazda 3?
A:
Take off the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, then unscrew the lug nuts of the wheels, then position the vehicle on jack stands and block the wheels at the other end. Take the wheels off and handle one braking assembly at a time with the other assembled braking assembly as a guide where needed. Check the Brake Disc, remove the disc to also remove the pads in case the machining is needed. Wash the brake thoroughly using brake system cleaner and then let it dry with a drain pan underneath so that any residue can be captured before disassembling the brake. Do not use compressed air to blow away the brake dust. In the case of front brake pads, use a large C clamp to press the piston into the caliper to provide space where the new pads are to be placed, making sure that the master cylinder reservoir is not filled up. Unscrew the retaining clip and the plastic caps on the caliper mounting bolts and then remove the caliper mounting bolts using a hex bit socket wrench. Pry out the inner brake pad and affix the caliper to the suspension using stiff wire then remove the outer brake pad. Install the inner pad, ensuring that the clips fit into the caliper piston, then a pad on the outer in the caliper bracket. Wipe off the caliper mounting bolts, lubricate the non-threaded part with high-temperature grease, and reattach the bolts and tighten them to the right torque. Lastly, insert the retaining clip into the holes where the caliper locations are and screw the ends under the caliper mounting bracket. With rear brake pads, turn the parking brake lever to the open end using channel lock pliers, take out the plastic caps and the caliper mounting bolts. Be careful not to lose the spring retaining clip and remove the caliper, then support the caliper with wire. Removed the inner and outer brake pads and turned the piston clockwise pushing it back into the caliper with a retraction tool or needle-nose pliers. Install the inner and outer pads in the caliper bracket, clean the caliper mounting bolts, smear the high-temperature grease, reposition the bolts, and tighten them to the required torque. Reconnect the Parking Brake Cable, making sure that the ball stud is positioned in the lever and verify the parking brake to be working and adjust accordingly. In order to fit the new brake pads, fully insert the piston into the caliper bore by turning it clockwise. Attach a hose to the caliper bleed screw and put the other end that is attached in a container and open the bleed screw as the piston is pulled away to gather excess brake fluid. Once the caliper has been reinstalled, tighten the mounting bolts to the designated torque, carefully press the brake pedal several times to contact the pads with the disc, examine the level of the brake fluid and add it, as needed, to ensure the brakes are functioning properly and then place the vehicle back into regular service.
