How to replace a rear Brake Pads on Mazda Protege?

Take off the brake fluid reservoir cap, make the wheel lug nuts loose, take up the back of the vehicle and hold it up using jackstands with the other end of the wheels blocked. One at the time, loosen all the wheels and remove the brake assemblies, and use the assembled brake as a reference. Check the wear of the brake pads and examine the brake disc carefully, should the disc require machining, remove the disc to remove the pads as well. Take out the plug of the manual adjustment gear screw, disconnect the end of the parking brake cable of the caliper, and then pull the piston of the brake caliper inwards by turning the manual adjustment gear in counterclockwise with an Allen wrench having constantly monitored the level of fluid in the reservoir and cleared any excess. Unscrew the lower caliper mounting bolt, lift the caliper, and remove the M-shaped spring, realizing that 1999 and later rear disc brakes have spring clips in its place. Take the brake pads, shim plates and caliper guide plates out, and put a small amount of anti-squeal compound onto the pad backing plates and shims, without any of the compound at all on the friction surfaces of the brake pads. Install the caliper guides and the new replacement brake pads, reinstall the M-shaped spring, which models up to 1998, and swing the caliper down over the pads with the piston completely retracted. Install the caliper lower mounting bolt to the required torque, adjust the manual adjustment gear clockwise until the caliper piston touches the brake pad and then turn the adjustment gear 1/3 turn counterclockwise. Install the manual adjustment gear screw plug, inspect the level of the brake fluid reservoir, and correct as required and change the cap. Once the job has been completed, press the brake pedal a couple of times firmly so that it makes contact with the disc and once more check the level of brake fluid and that the brake is working as it should then restore the vehicle to normal service. Tap the same procedure with the other wheel brake pad replacement.

Mazda Protege Brake Pads

Mazda Protege Brake Pads are friction components employed to slow or stop your vehicle when contacted against the spinning rotor. This process transforms the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy. Each pad contains a molded friction compound that is either bonded or riveted to a steel backing plate. Two pads are mounted per rotor, which the caliper squeezes when the pedal is applied. Brake Pads consist of linings that naturally wear down after use. For this reason, many models use mechanical noise makers or electronic sensors that signal to the driver as their minimum thickness nears. The Mazda braking system produces adequate deceleration when kept within a specified range for commuting, errands, and other everyday travel the compact sedan is expected to do. Mazda's own engineers create the factory mix to provide balanced grip, durability, and low noise in normal conditions. Better yet, all manufacturers have similar options they offer that might be non-metallic, semi-metallic, fully metallic, or ceramic-based compounds. Each of these options caters for various types of heat resistance, offering different impacts on the rotor. The owners of Protege vehicles who periodically check their lining depth can help combat brake fade, which is the loss of effectiveness due to overheating that results in longer stopping distances. Further design elements, including the steel backing plate, help to dissipate heat and provide stability to the friction layer to ensure consistent pedal feel. Properly functioning Brake Pads will transfer a thin film of material to the rotor that increases friction and smooths engagement so that it can help provide a controlled, predictable stopping response in a wide range of speeds. All these components provide an essential safety link in the braking sequence of any Mazda Protege.
