Replacement of Front Brake Discs and Pads

Model: Mazda Mx 5 NB, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Brake rotors

Lift the vehicle with a jack and apply axle stands to securely support it during the repair. Remove the front wheel (loosen the bolts before lifting), unscrew the bolts securing the brake caliper bracket, and remove the disc; separate the brake caliper from the bracket by removing the pads and retract the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Fit the new disc after cleaning it of any oil residue, reassemble the bracket with the new pads, and then the brake caliper; repeat the process on the other wheel. Pay attention during the initial braking.
