  Q: How to remove and install a Brake Pad Set on Mazda B2000?

  A:

  In order to fit and change brake pads, first of all make sure that the combined thickness of the backing plate and the pad lining can be at least 7mm (0.276 in.). In models up to 1984, lift and place the front end on jackstands, remove the wheels, remove the caliper retaining pins and hold down plates. Unscrew the lifting caliper, strip off the anti-rattle clips and the pads. Take off approximately half the fluid out of the front brake reservoir and then push the piston into the bore with a large C-clamp. Installation is in the opposite order, with shims that are provided at the factory being removed and new ones put in each time a pad is changed except when the aftermarket pads are excessively thick. Add the master cylinder reservoir and push the brake pedal to reset pressure. In the models of 1986, the same can be said except that the bolts holding the caliper lockpin are removed instead. Once the new pads are in place make sure that the lockpins are tightened to 30 ft. lbs. and repeat the fluid refill and brake pedal pumping procedures. In the models of 1987-89, care must be taken as they contain asbestos in the brake pads; one should not clean using compressed air. Once the lower lock pin bolt is removed and the caliper is turned, take off the pads and the shims, empty half of the fluid and press the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Replace pads and shims, caliper position and torque the lock pin bolt to 30 ft. lbs. Lastly, fit the wheels again, put the truck down, fill up the master cylinder and press the brake pedal to resume the pressure.
