This video is showing how to install new rear discs and brake pads with a car that has electric rear parking brakes. We show you how to put the E-Brake into Maintenance mode to allow this work to take place then how to turn the Maintenance mode off. Also show how to remove the caliper, caliper housing and discs that may be rusted onto the rear hub.

So much salt on your Mazda? Too bad. Where do you guys live?
If you look at the bottom of the piston portion of the caliper, there's a square clamp point cast into the body; I used it to clamp the piston back in with a pair of channel locks.
Tried out your maintenance mode before ordering pads and it worked. This would be the first pads I've tried with electric handbrake. Looks like there's about 4mm pad left on 30k miles. More pad left on the fronts which I find strange. Mexico caliper too. Thanks for the heads up men.
Great video thank you very much for all the tips and tricks! Gives me so much more confidence to tackle this project on my ‘17 mazda 3
Do I have to put a car in service (maintains) mode? What will happen if I will just change pads and discs?
Excellent guys! Really helped me alot! This video got me through the job. A BIG Thank You!
Thanks for the video. I didnt notice the dots on the pads I even looked at the p/n and they where the same.
What size bolt thread pitch did you use to screw into rotor to remove it?? Thanks!
You can still compress the rear pistons into the housing but, because of the electronic parking brake mechanism, you have to push it in and not rotate it. So, next time you don't have to force the caliper back onto the pads. Just push the piston back as normal.
This is the video i needed. Thank you guys
Just wanted to say thank you so much for making this. This video helped me (someone with no mechanical experience) change my brake pads and rotors for the first time on my Mazda3. I am SO excited that I did it myself!
Thank you so much
thank yu on video l m sauba arabia
Don’t try this at home
I think you should get a mazda repair manual
Thanks so much…..I'm old school Mechanic & u saved my bacon….!!!!!. Much appreciated….!!!!! Worked like a charm…!!!!
How much torque did you tighten the caliper bracket bolts at 15:08?
Question for you guys. What part/brand did you use for the rear pad/rotor? I have a Mexico assembled 2017 Mazda 3 touring 2.0 and most of the parts sites give limited information. Some even group all the mazda 3s into one category stating that they use the same parts regardless if there is an electronic rear brake or not (not good). Anyway thanks for any information.
