Torque specs for brake caliper bolts 2005 mazda 6
you need to take off both caliper bolts and remove the caliper from the carriage... most Mazda calipers will not pivot...
7mm (metric) 3/8 " socket dr Hex
Metric Allen wrench.
It will be a 14 or 17 mm wrench.
The caliper bolts are located in the caliper... You should see two bolts on the inside of the caliper...
Much to my surprise, my Escape's (04) brake fasteners were all metric. I have both English and metric tools, used the English first cause it's a Ford and found they didn't fit. Went to metric and viola! I guess we can thank Mazda's influence for that.
Remove caliper (possibly held by 14 or 17 mm bolts) then remove pads from caliper, press piston in and re-fit new pads.
first take off the wheel then look at the caliper bolts they can range from metric sockets to torx sockets remove the caliper secure the caliper so that it does not hang from the brake hose then inspect the caliper support bracket bolts remove the two bolts being careful not to get hurt when it falls to the ground using some penetrating fluid and a hammer tap the rotor from the backside tap the rotor off of the hub
NO!
The caliper bolts are the long bolts that go horizontally from one side of the mounting bracket, through the top and bottom of the caliper, to the other side of the mounting bracket(if the caliper is supported inside and outside of the rotor, which all the ones I've seen are). The caliper slides on the caliper bolts to adjust to the rotorand usually has expanding dust boots around the boltson both sides of the caliper tokeep the sliding area clean.
caliper bolts are the two bolts that hold a brake caliper to the caliper mounting bracket. On both the front and rear of the vehicle (unless has rear drum brakes) the bolts have rubber boots around them working as slide pins.
