mazda 3s: brakes

Dr ZEE · 10-30-2009, 11:17 AM

I am working on a mazda 3s 2006 (2.3L) for a friend. Changing the rear brake pads and the rotors. I have the mounting screws off and I am having a hard time getting the calliper to come off the rotor. The E-brake is off and the car is in neutral. Any suggestions?

The thing is that it has diffrent "design" , not as I "used to see"...so we've got off the "wrong mounting screws"..heh heh, found the "how to" on line. A bit pinta, but actually turned out not so hard at the end.
