Description

Swapping Out Your Mazda's Brake Pads — Starring RDA
> Brake pads are what stop your Mazda, and they wear out over time, especially if you give it a bit of stick on the open road. Models like the RX-7 and Mazda 6 really need good brakes, so don't muck around with worn pads.
Warning Signs You've Found This Page
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig.
• Braking feels a bit soft or slow.
• Takes longer to pull up at the lights.
• Steering wheel or brake pedal shudders when you brake.
• Pads look thin or damaged when you sneak a peek.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail your WOF. Your brake pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Keep an eye on those pads to be sure.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper jack stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Use plenty of Brake Cleaner to blast away the muck. It'll help everything go back together smoothly.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with a decent set of Nitrile Gloves. Keeps the grease and grime off your skin.
• Lube is Your Friend: A dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will stop things seizing up later. Worth its weight in gold.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake pads are dangerous and can damage your rotors. New RDA pads will give you reliable stopping power. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Mazda. Head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Make sure these pads fit your exact Mazda model and brake setup. Some models might need different pad shapes or extra bits and pieces. Double-check the specs before you get started.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
