Hey there Eric, fantastic job on the brakes you did here. I’m glad my Mazda3, made before Ford divested its stock in 2010, has 4 wheel disc brakes, and AFAIK all the Mazda3s have 4 wheel disc brakes. Although since Mazda has gotten past all the Ford-derived models in their new stock, I would anticipate that if they have any drum equipped models, that they’re not of this style. Another thing I have done on some cars to adjust them is to drive at about 5-10 mph on a road, sharply pull the brake half way, let it go for a few feet, than slowly pull it up the rest of the way. It worked, and this was a service manual procedure for a BMW in fact.
I see Eric has the same distain for those springs on the caliper that I do. Somehow, they migrated from Fords to VWs, they are a pain to get on correctly.
Great video. Very positive in all directions.
What is the function of those strange snaked around springs? Do they stop outboard pad rattle?

Yes, that’s it exactly.
