Mazda 6 with Electric Parking Brake - Rear Brake Disks & Pads Replacement
The process of replacing the rear brake pads and disks on a 2018 Mazda 6 estate. This process should apply to most modern Mazdas with an electric parking brake. This car is now 2 years old and has passed the 50,000 mile mark, the owner complained to me about a grinding sound coming from the back when it braked. It was strange as the disks looked to be in very good condition when viewed through the spokes of the wheels but the inner surface on both sides was completley ruined rendering the disks scrap. For some reason the inner edge wore much quicker than the outer edge, these were the original disks and pads as fitted by mazda when the car left the factory. Even if you just need to see the process of how to put the handbrake into service mode this video will cover that. I am not sure exactly why car makers fit these electric handbrakes to cars with a manual transmission, in automatics if properly calibrated an electric handbrake is a great system as it can be completely automatic, in manuals i don't quite understand the need or benefit of them, however they aren not as scary to work with as some make them out to be.
