2015 Mazda3 Rear Brakes and a quick look at the brakes from a few years ago...
Detailed brake pad and rotor replacement on a 2015 Mazda3 5spd.
I had replaced the front brakes and rotors a few thousand miles ago, and a few years prior, I had also replaced the rear pads and rotors. What makes this brake job unique is the vehicle's exposure to winter road salt. The salt belt requires a completely different approach, as opposed to a basic "Slap-N-Go" that you can get away with in non coastal areas and areas that seldom ever see snow.
This video is a bit long, and probably could have been chopped some more, but it is intended for the novice mechanic or DIYer. I have experimented with a few different NON PETROLEUM brake specific lubricants over the years and have found that antiseize works best on the non moving parts, brake grease on the pad ears and abutment clip, and silicone lubricants for the slide pins. Everything possible to prevent water intrusion and corrosion MUST be taken to the extreme! SMOOTH operation and free movement is critical for long life and dependable operation.

I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actrons, DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics. I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
