Remove the high mount brake light retaining screws from your Mazda Protg. Remove the high mount brake light wiring harness. Reverse the process to install your new high-mount brake light.
Lift the car with a car jack, remove the tire and set it aside, remove the brake shoe/caliper, and remove the old brake pad. Put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, put the tire back on the car and lower the car to the ground.
A 2001 Mazda Protege uses standard 10w-30 motor oil. This provides a good balance of viscosity and protection for the engine.
To adjust the parking brake on a 2001 Mazda Protege 2.0 ES from inside the vehicle, locate the parking brake lever and the adjustment nut beneath the console. Remove the console cover to access the adjustment nut, then turn it clockwise to tighten the brake or counterclockwise to loosen it. Ensure that the brake engages properly by testing it after adjustments. If further adjustments are needed, you may also need to check the rear brake shoes for wear.
