To change the brake pads on your Mazda 6, the steps are simple and as follows. First, lift the car, then remove the wheel to access the brake pads.

Once the wheel is off, you will see the brake pads, and as shown in the video, unscrew the hex screw at the bottom and then unclip the upper pin of the brake pad support. Once done, proceed to remove the old pads and the four clips used to secure them.

As seen in the video, clean and lubricate all working parts involved, and then replace the old clips with new ones. Apply them to both the top and bottom of the new pads and secure them.

Once done, clean everything thoroughly and lubricate again, then reassemble the parts following the same procedure in reverse, and finally press the brake pedal to check that everything works, and you're done!

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
