Replacing Brake Pads on a Mazda CX-5

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017
Part: Brake pads

Are the brake pads worn out? Let's see how to remove them from inside the brake caliper. Lift the car on a column lift, then remove the wheel (using a socket wrench or air drill). Unscrew the caliper locking pin and remove the caliper from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the wheel hub caliper, then fit the new pads onto the brake caliper. Reattach the brake caliper with the bracket onto the brake disc, tighten all the pins, and remount the wheel. Replace the brake pads with identical parts. Top up if necessary.
