To change the brakes on a Mazda 3 shouldn't be rocket science. However it took me a lil while to figure it out. It's almost the same as changing regular caliper brakes except instead of using a C-clamp or similar object to compress the piston...use a pair of needlenose pliers and turn the tip of the piston in a clockwise rotation to compress it. A clamp will not work. aside from that everything should be pretty simple.

Hope this helps

make sure to apply pressure while turning

You just installed new brakes on your 2004 Mazda 3 and they are squeaking whats wrong?

Replacing the brakes.....if you mean just pads than you could have a "glaze" on your rotors, this can be easily fixed by removing them and taking them to your local autoparts store or mechanical shop to have them turned, or if they are no longer within the specs replace them. Also check to make sure any shims you may have removed are firmly where they need to be and not runnbing the rotor.
