MAZDA CX-5 | rear brake pads and rotors change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Our 2018 Mazda CX-5 needed new rear brake pads. So, In this video I replace the rear rotors and pads. I also point out where to jack it up the rear so that two jack stands can be placed at once.
This is my second re-upload of this video. I learned about the electronic parking brake maintenance mode, so I included it. That is going to take some getting used to. I used instructions from various sites and tutorials. Coming from older cars, I guess I got lucky by not putting it into maintenance mode when I first did the rear brakes.
A link to the other work I have done on our CX-5 is below.

As a backyard/weekend mechanic, I've done a fair share of brake jobs. Not sure why I decided to check for a video on the CX-5 but sure glad I did. I had no idea about the service mode for the p-brake. Thanks so much for the info!
it's a real gotcha that could cost money and frustration - even for the experienced. Also the piston design looking like it needs to be spun but doesn't (can cause misalignment with alignment nub, damaging EPB). OP did an excellent job here.
@@gregrobertson9957 what would the symptoms of that be? I suspect the guy who did the brakes on my mother's car screwed something up. The pedal feels soft and it clunks when braking in reverse.
I'm in the same boat. I've done so many brake changes on older vehicles but I decided to watch this and thankfully he pointed out the small details that are different. Thanks Maq!
What happens if you don’t put it in service mode for the rear brakes ?
@@rutgershouses Long story short. After purchasing a certified pre-owned 2018 CX-5 the previous owner had the back brakes and rotors replaced by a local service garage just before he traded it in. Luckily for me the first week I had it I tested the power emergency brake. Smelled something burning couldn't figure it out where was coming from until I realize it was coming from the back of the CX-5. I went to touch the back wheel and burnt my hand! Both back wheels or extremely hot. Both sides locked up. The dealership told me that whoever did the brake job did something wrong. There's a special way that those brakes need to be done. If I didn't buy certified pre-owned it would have cost me over $900 to replace both of those emergency brake motors. Mazda covered the cost. Just something to think about if you plan on doing it yourself.
Regarding 4:26: When one pad wears more than the other pad it is usually due to not enough lubrication in one or both of the glide pins causing one or both of them to hang up. Later in the video you take those glide pins out, clean them and regrease them, so you solved the problem without realizing it. Great video! Thanks.
Some tips from someone who does this for a living. Use a die grinder with a cutoff wheel or similar to remove all corrosion from under the clips. Use antisieze under the clips to prevent jacking and sticking pads, which is the reason the outer was worn more. Use flat blade screw driver and catch the edge of a towel and twist it into the line holes to wipe the old grease and contaminants out. I also usually put grease on the lips where the pin boots go over on the brackets to prevent rusting and water intrusion. Dy fit your pads once you have the clips in the bracket. 9 times out of 10 aftermarket pads fit too tight. Use the die grinder to remove the burrs on the pad ears and enough material so there is a little bit of play top and bottom and end to end. This will prevent pad seizing for a long time, which is necessary in any rust belt states in particular.
Thanks!!! I will use those tips in the future. I just worked on a 2017 Ford Explorer that was from a rust belt state. It was a pain and I can see how those tips would help.
Good tips there pal I've not long done my rears I found though my rears even after a good wire brush were bit of a pig going in not had same issue on other cars just got 2 cars through mot ..(brakes etc ) maybe need a file on then they were a bit rusty as such 😊
I just read yoir lower section about the ears I do own a due grinder . I used a file to remove some excess but I'll remove more next time to allow better movement thanks buddy
Yes, good point. I had to use a grinder to remove about 1/2 mm from the end of the pads. Otherwise they wouldn’t fit into the bracket.
Again, very helpful video... got a few things to add:
First, before replacing the caliper over the new brake pads, be sure to check that the 4 caliper piston indents/notches on the outer edge of the piston are in the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o-clock positions. Reason-being is that the brake pad will have a peg in the center of the lower edge that needs to fit into the piston indent/notch.
Second, torque the 2 caliper bracket bolts to 70 ft lbs and the 2 caliper bolts to 20 ft lbs.
And last, if your rotor is seized to the hub (mine was... I live in the rust belt), look for a 5/16" threaded hole in the rotor around the area of the lug nut holes (OEM rotors will have one, after-market rotors may have one, two, or no holes at all). For a OEM rotor thread in a 5/16" x 20 TPI (fine thread) bolt about 1" long (best to use a class 5 bolt to reduce the chances of the bolt breaking or bending) when you feel the bolt come in contact with the hub, just slowly tighten it until the rotor breaks loose. The threads will probably be rusted so use some PB Blaster penetrant to help thread it in, also spray some PB blaster along the seam between the hub and the rotor.
Had a weird feeling about doing my girls brakes on her Cx-5. I’ve done plenty of brake jobs and was already betting it had rotating caliper pistons and thinking about where my tool was. Glad I came, and you seem like a stand up car guy.
Thank you for that brake maintenance mode tip - didn’t even know about it- very helpful.
Thanks brother! About to do my neighbors because shes too broke to take it to a shop, and i feel bad for her. If of felt really really bad if i hadnt known about the service mode and burnt her e-brake up. Thanks man, and know that you saved a single mother from unnecessary repair bills.
I just did front and rear brakes for my brothers CX 5, the caliper mounting bracket bolts are so long it takes forever to thread them out and back in haha!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this the correct way. You've saved me a major headache with the electronic brakes.
Good vid! I had to watch about 5 different videos then I strung together a way to do the repair that would match my physical handicap. It worked great and your video showing a single point lift on front and back helped a ton! I noticed you went right over the part where you installed the pads in the assembly. I did watch another Vid and they pre-installed the pads in the assembly, this was the cat’s meow. It worked way better for me than installing at the brake location. I only had 2 rear pads low but did all 4 wheels. It had 84,000 miles and rotors were fine so left alone. I was really surprised how well the CX-5 Skyactive Tech took over a 2400 mile 2000 lb trailer tow I did this summer in TX heat. Skyactive allowed me to use cruise control, with a tow, and I was shocked brakes were not worse, I checked them before the trip also. I will always have a Mazda in my fleet now. Not rich, just always keep 4-6 cars for different uses, done it for decades, hence I have to still do my own brakes because I like my little fleet. Thanks a ton and I look forward to seeing how you repair your fleet. Amazing how these old videos just keep helping folks. WTG!
Thanks for taking the time, and for including the instructions on the service mode for the parking brake!
Just did the annual inspection of my 2016 CX-5 with 50k miles - front pads were fine but rear pads are at the wear limit. This is the first vehicle I've seen where the rears wear out that much faster than the fronts. My outer pads were also worn much more than the inner, just like on the video. I was going to take it in to the shop for replacement, but based on your fine video it looks easy enough to just do it myself. Thanks for posting it!
I've heard rears wearing before fronts is becoming common in cars with hill-hold type feature. I've usually had to do rear once for every 2X on front, so maybe....
I read that Mazda made the rear pads wear faster than usual to try to make them wear out at the same time as the front pads but my 2016 had the same experience - the rear pads went before the fronts.
Crazy I got the CX-5 just ordered brakes and rotors for the rear I'm gonna do this weekend my fronts are fine but the rear are bad bad I've owned 15 cars since the 22 years I've been driving never had this happen before glad to see its common in these vehicles
The replacement pads have lasted well so only the Mazda pads perhaps.
There's a known issue with the rear calipers that causes them to wear pads out quicker. Check out this TSB: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10129575-9999.pdf
@MaqsVids thank you for taking the time to produce and publish this video. Two days ago I found myself in a jam while attempting to replace the rear break pads on my sister's 2017 CX-5 and your video saved our day. You were instrumental in us getting my sister back on the road with a new set of break pads. Your explanation and camera angles together were the perfect balance of information for our success in completing the task. Thank you again.
Have to do service on my wife's rear brake calliper and really glad I checked out this video! Would have never known about the brake disengage routing that needed to take place beforehand! Great video and very engaging!
Thanks man! Good luck with yours.
Well done video Maq. Detailed enough for a layman.
Thank you for the well done video. I don’t often work on cars but your video gave me the confidence to replace the brakes on my own CX-5.
About to do my wife's brakes today and stumbled on this. So thankful I did! Very thorough and you're saving me lots of time. Subbed!
Thanks for a great job on this video. I will be doing my rear brakes this weekend. Your video instructions are the best I've seen and highly detailed. Great work!!
Thanks and good luck!
This is a dynamite video, with lots of super helpful tips and great info of all the work requierd, thanks a million dude! :D
Good video! Very informative and great camera angle.
One thing I'd mention is you will need to rotate the brake caliper pistons depending on the model you have. Electric E brakes- you can squeeze them in just like you did, if you put them in service mode. Manuel E brakes- you will need to rotate them because the manual brakes don't have a service mode, that I know of. You could ruin the pistons if you force them in without rotating them.
Thank you for this video! I had no knowledge of the maintenance mode for the parking brake. I've been taking the motor assembly off the caliper and unwinding it by hand for years. lol. You've saved me quite a bit of time. Great attention to detail too!
Great video. I love how you have attention to the small details like cleaning the brackets and applying lube. One thing I've learned in my years of DIY is less is more than it comes to the brake lube. The more you put, the more crap it attracts causing noise and issues. Little dabs behind the hardware, on the piston and the side of the caliper that touches the outside pad. Also to replace the rubber boots every time because they wont provide enough force on the pins to spring the caliper back out. I've learned that one the hard way on multiple cars.
Good points! Are those boots easy to replace?
Yes they are. You just pull them off and pop new ones in.
@@TheStevedie ok gotcha, thx
We had to watch about six other videos before we got one that made sense and worked. Thank you so much!
Did our 2017 this morning with your help. Appreciate you brother 👊🏽
Awesome man!! I'm glad it worked out.
Thanks for taking the time to do this . I am doing my friends front and rears today. Would not have known about the rear parking brake situation.
You are very welcome. And good luck!
Good stuff. Most detailed video I've found so far. Haven't seen folding the wear indicator in in any others, or the brake maintenance mode. I think I'm gonna try doing them myself for the first time instead of paying the dealer more than $500 for just the rear.
Great video. I took notes and will be doing my 2018 rear brakes in the next few days. Thanks.
Our CX5 is due for a full brake job, thanks for the information, I had no idea about service mode for the rear brakes!
Nice job, better than other videos at explaining getting the vehicle in and out of service mode and also how to lubricate the brake parts. My daughter has a Mazda CX5 so any additional videos will be helpful.
Thanks! More videos will be coming
As I do the other maintenance I'm going to document. So, stay tuned😉
Came here for service mode. Thanks!
WTG !Saved a lot of money and got a better end result! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video did exactly what you did and just finished. Brakes sounding quiet!
Very very well done. Mate, no Music effordable. Your Voice is fine. Great details
Thanks for the info. on getting in and out of service mode. My two cents-. I clean the surface where the brake disk contacts the axle and spray it with a little Fluid Film which will prevent it from rusting on. Also, I find it easier to load the brake bracket with the pads before bolting it back into place. Getting your head inside the wheel well for the inside pad can be a little awkward especially if you're working on the ground. Cleaning and greasing the slide pins and boots is not optional. Torqueing to specs on brake components is important. I used to work for a dealership.
Thanks, i did the front then was heading to the back brakes and watched this. I didn't know about the maintenance mode so this really helped.
Thanks! Amazing video and great you showed how to put the car into and out of maintenance mode for the e brake.
Excellent job! Thanks , doing this next weekend.
Thanks! Good luck man!
Very good video! Very informative and helpful, thanks!
You are welcome!! If you have a CX-5 you are working on, good luck!!
Thanks for the detailed steps!
Very nicely done!
This was great and very informative. I did not know about the service mode. Glad I watched!
Very informative. Well edited!! Thanks for the help!!
Thank you and you are very welcome!!!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Great video thank you for 2021 the cx5 maintenance mode will show yellow symbol on the top left of your dashboard. After completion the red centre parking brake will still show brackets. If you have done your rear brakes and took out of service mode and still have the red parking brake with brackets but yellow symbol disappears you are all good
Thanks for the service mode tip
Thanks Maq. Great video and it looks like this will be my next project. I've done rotors and pads on other vehicles and probably could have stumbled my way through it except....I didn't know jack about the service mode. Thanks again.
Good useable guide
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks man, you were my buddy this sunday on the driveway :)
You are very welcome. I have a blast making these videos and am glad they are useful.
very good video. very detailed. thanks
This was so helpful. Thank You.
You are very welcome
Great video! Much Appreciated 🙌🏾
My cx5 brakes it’s not due yet, but it’s good to know these things.
excellent vid man! thanks!
Excellent video!! Great camera work too. Maintenance mode info was priceless, I had no idea. Would have liked you to mention torque specs in there and use a hint of anti -seize on the hub and threads. I am now a subscriber. Great Job. Thank You.
One thing you may want to do is use some thread locking compound on the caliper pin bolts. I know on many vehicles I believe including Mazda's, the torque setting is pretty low, so rather than over tightening, thread compound ensures they do not come loose.
Great work sir!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! Thanks from Russia )
Thank you so much dude. Was such a easy job with your video as guidance. I did what you did and we definitely put too much of that brake quiet on lol. But I guess that will keep them very quiet now. lol thanks again. Awesome video bro
Your video is awesome! Thanks you.
Nice job! Thanks!
Also what's the torque settings for the caliper/ bracket bolts?
What sprays/applicants did you use in this video?
We are at about 46,XXX miles and I just discovered that we are in need of front and rear pads. About what I would expect I guess, brake system seems well balanced and adequate.
How did you compress the piston into the caliper, with a compression tool? I'm used to doing it on Miatas, which have a little gear that moves the piston
is there any way to remove caliper when the bolts are stuck ??? it is fianl step i could take it off but i just can'r remove it tried the rust penetrant.
Brilliant video thank you sir
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this. No wonder I couldn't compress.
I have a CX-5 2013, does that one have a caliper that needs to be twisted? or also no? also, any idea what the torque spec is on those two bolts that hold the caliper?
how many miles were on it, just did front and rear on my 2016 with 140,000 mlles this week, and the rears were today.
Very helpful thank you
We have the same watch!
Great video, thanks.
Thank you!! And, a lot of people sleep on Garmins. I love it!
@@MaqsVids best watch I've owned yet
Nice vid! Usually the inboard pad wears faster with a floating caliper, but looks like you had it the other way. Could be the old rotor had a warped outer surface, or could be your slides had contaminants and weren't moving freely enough to keep pressure even
Thanks! I didn't know that about the pads. Now, I am going to pay attention to see if that is more often the case.
Legend. Thank you very much
So i messed up man, i didnt know about the parking brake maintence mode and i tried to compress the caliper with a c clamp using a softener on the plastic side of the parking brake actuator and the plastic cracked a little bit. It didnt penetrate through the plastic it just cracked. So my question is if i order a new one, do i turn on parking brake maintence mode on and just take the old one off and put the new one on? Or is there somthing in specific detail that i need to do/know before removing the the parking brake actuator and also take it off and installing the new one?? I really appreciate it, i am on a time crunch because we are shipping my car in a few weeks so any help will be greatly appreciated thank you !!!!
You’re awesome thank you so much
great video man, i am doing my wifes this weekend... didnt know about the maintenance mode settings, thanks for that. I think the pads wear unevenly as the car uses a standard floating caliper design with a single piston...
great job with the lighting and camera work. One of the best Ive seen so far. Ques, can you just use grease in place of the brake quiet for the pad brackets? What's the difference?
how many miles/km was this done at? thanks for the video, i'm ordering my parts soon.
Nice work! What brand or brake kit did you use? And what did the kit cost you, not OEM i see so curious what other good brands people use these days, i used to exclusively use only Reybestos Professional but open to other brands if known to be just as good or better
Cheers
The reason one pad wears out faster then the other pad is because the caliper sliders are sticking. That means the brake pad on the plunger side is being pressed against the disk harder than the opposite side which is being held stationary due to sliders being stuck. To prevent this the brake caliper sliders need to be cleaned and lubed as regularb maintenance. Many people including myself neglect to do this.
Ahh. Thanks! Then it's sad that the factory set up has that issue. But we'll see how this one goes because I did lube it up pretty well.
I’ve watched your vid countless times and will try to do this weekend. I noticed that on the drivers side you turned the ratchet to the left (counter clockwise) so turning the bolt towards the back of the car. So on the passenger side are you turning the ratchet left towards the front of the car? I can’t figure out the video. Thanks. Great video
My 2014 with 111,111 miles still has the original front pads but this week I'll be doing the rear for the second time
Thanks great video
@ 7 minutes, One of the slide bolts has plastic on the end, and the other doesn't, what is the plastic function since it's only on one of the bolts?
Thanks
1:51 ah that's the secret sauce the dealership wouldn't tell me
source
Nice video, thanks. What was your source for those/other maintenance codes sequences?
I saw it in a service manual in a CX-5 forum and another UA-cam video. It took me a couple of times to get it right. I'll try to hunt it down when I get to my computer.
Чувак, у тебя есть смазка для любых предметов и мест, молодец👍
Thank yo I for the video. I have a 2016 I have to do the maintenance mode as well?
Yes
Excellent video! I will be doing this to my wife’s CX-5 very soon. Did you change the rotors just because or did you have some warping?
Just because and future planning. The old rotors will be turned before I put on the next set of pads . I shouldn't have to buy rotors for many brake changes. And thank you!
Nice camera work.
What is the difference between disengaging the parking brakes with just one push and then turning the motor off and going through the steps for activating the service mode?
I have it done with the first method on another brand and it also worked.
Hi! I think I understand your question. I don't think there is a difference if the end result is the same.
Hi! thanks for the great video and information. Do we have to take the car out of the service mode after replacing pads?
Yes. Once the new stuff is in, take it out of service mode. Thanks!
Thank you share clip
You are very welcome thank you
Great job thx
Hey, great video and thanks for uploading. Quick question, is there no need to bleed the brakes?
There is no need to bleed for just swapping pads and rotors. But, with the age of our car, a good flush of the fluid and bleed would not be a bad idea for the near future.
The noise maker goes on the trailing edge, not the leading. Your removal section shows it. Thinking you may have swapped inner and outer for the first side you did. Not sure it matters but I try to put it the way I found it.
Thanks! I try to put things by the way I found them too. 🫣 I don't "think" it matters. But I guess we will find out in a few years.
4:27 dude I'm curious too! I had to replace my brakes at like 22k miles and one side was totally boned while the other was seemingly fine. Seemed like it was a malfunctioning brake system from the factory...
Very good video. What rotors and brake pads are you using? I'm having difficulty choosing which ones to buy. Thanks for taking time to make this video.
Hi! I know this is late. But, I just purchased whatever Advance Auto had in stock. But, OEM is always a good bet. I just try to stay away from pads that are too cheap.
