Rear Brake (Disc) Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

If the brake hose is installed to the caliper on the vehicle, the tool cannot be installed correctly resulting in brake fluid leakage due to improper installation. Therefore, remove the caliper and brake hose as a single unit when removing the caliper or brake hose, and tighten the brake hose to the caliper to the specified torque, then install the caliper and brake hose as a single unit when installing to the vehicle.

Remove in the order indicated in the table.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
After installation, pump the brake pedal a few times and inspect the following:
- Parking brake lever stroke
- Brake drag
