Replacement of Rear Brake Discs and Pads

Model: Mazda 6 MK 1, GG - Years 2002-2008
Part: Brake rotors

Lift the vehicle on a ramp and remove the rear wheel. Proceed to remove the fixing pins of the brake caliper to detach it from its seat, remove the old pads, and take off the brake caliper support. Then, unscrew the fixing bolts of the disc on the hub and remove it. Clean the disc seat on the hub with a wire brush, apply grease to prevent oxidation, and install the new disc after cleaning it of protective oil. Refit the brake caliper support, insert the new pads, retract the caliper piston using a suitable tool, and then secure it to the support.
