  Q: How to properly replace a front Brake Pad Set and ensure the brakes are functioning correctly on Mazda Tribute?

  A:

  Take off the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, undo the wheel lug nuts, lift up the vehicle and place it firmly on jackstands besides blocking the wheels at the other end. Take off wheels and assemble one brake assembly at a time and use the assembled brake as a reference. Check the Brake Disc; the disc should be checked carefully; in case it requires some machining, then remove the disc and also remove the pads. Use a C-clamp to push the piston back into its bore to leave room in the new brake pads and to prevent overflow of the fluid in the master cylinder, a little of it is siphoned off. In models 2001-2007 and 2013 and newer wash brakes, disassemble them with brake cleaner, take off wire-type brake caliper anti-rattle clip on 2004 and earlier model and 2005 through 2007 model, push the clip up to disengage it. Peel off the covers, loosen the bolts, wring off the caliper, and tie it to the coil spring using wire. Unscrew the inner pad on the piston, take off the outer pad, wash the mounting bolts, put grease on the pads with high temperature and anti-squeal material. Install the piston with the inner pad, the outer pad, the caliper, tighten the bolts, cover, and the anti-rattle clip, and then press the brake pedal several times to force the pads to touch the disc. To install the springs on the left front caliper release the anchor housing spring on the left front caliper by pushing the center inward and the bottom tab out and then swivel and turn the spring to get the top tab out. To the right front caliper, pull the center towards the back whilst pushing the top tab out then swivel and turn to remove the bottom tab and put the pads off the caliper mount bracket and lubricate the contact points and put the anchor housing spring back in the reverse order. Reinstalling the caliper, mounting bolts should be tightened to the required extent, push the brake pedal several times, ensuring it has to touch the disc, check the brakes fluid level, and make sure that the brakes are working when returning the automobile to normal operation.
