Doing my back brake pads and rotors on my 2014 mazda3.. I've replaced my front ones before on my old car and figured it would not be much different...
I was finally able to compress the caliper piston using the tool from partsource, which by the way was not a perfect fit and at first kept sliding off, but now I can't remove the tool... I keep trying to unscrew it but the piston wont move and so the tool seems to be jammed on....
I'm wondering now if I missed a step.. Was i supposed to remove the parking brake wire, also I see there is a little spring behind the caliper.. what does that do? What about the bleed valve?
Thanks for any help...
