Man i swear it’s a weird car, the pcv valve located in the rear of the engine, the gearbox oil pan is weird unlike all cars, the return hose of the steering fluid attached to the reservoir is locater below the coolant reservoir🤣
@MegaMilesBen yes I saw you listed the torque specs for the 2 bolts that hold on the actuall caliper, but is that the torque specs for the other 2 bolts when you close the calipers aswell?
@tomholmes5502 at least you found it now and not while driving. Ive gotten into a few struggles myself. Wrong parts, shotty past mechanics, broken/stripped bolts and so forth. Its part of the field unfortunately.
i am about to do mines following your video, can i just ask what would happen to the level of oil ? you said to keep an eye on. If could also add list of tools you used would be greatly appreciated, ie: Socket size and that one you used to compress the cylinders. Thanks !
I dont remember the sizes off the top of my head, Im sorry. My videos are of clients cars and jobs I do. The brake caliper compressor tool comes in a kit at harbor freight for like $40-60 (I believe). There are other styles on amazon for cheaper too. For the brake fluid... when you compress the callipers back, the brake fluid will rise back up in the reservoir. Its a good idea to check now and then so you dont overfill the reservoir while compressing a calliper and make a mess on your floor.
@@MegaMilesBen Thank very much for you time to reply. went on amazon and found one added to cart and gonna try it tomorrow when arrives. Much appreciated again.
Thats a hard situation to be in. Ive been there many times. All I know to do is to keep prying and pounding. Check the front of the rotor for a couple bolt holes, sometimes that helps push it off. Ive had to destroy parking brake shoes to get the rotors off before. I dont really have any tricks to offer you. Maybe someone else will chime in.
If I remember right the front was warped and they decided to do them all. My clients tell me what they want done and they provide their own parts. Im also not set up to turn rotors in my little shop. With as much money as my clients save coming to me, they can afford to make little extra decisions like that. This brake job probably cost them half the amount it would anywhere else in Denver.
@Lessgobrandon if you have warped front rotors, youll have vibration in the steering wheel only when braking. If you have warped rotors in the rear, youll have vibration in the brake pedal only when braking.
This is a huge help! There isn't a lot of good service info out there for the CX-9. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Ill try to make a point to record other jobs any time I get one in.

Nicely done! Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Torque specs for both sets of bolts on caliper? Thanks for the knowledge
Listed in the video as I put each caliper back on.

Listed in video as stated.
Great video. I couldn't make out when you compressed the rear caliper. Is it straight back or does it twist. Thanks
Straight back. Those are easy ones.
Thanks for the video but have had the caliper brackets get cross threaded and screwed up? happened to me. First time in forty years!
Im sorry to hear that :( Unfortunately it can happen.
I start all my bolts by hand and twist them in a few turns to avoid that as much as possible.
@@MegaMilesBen thanks for the quick reply! An easy job turns into a nightmare. Bad bearing also.😕

Great video, going to do all my 4 rotors and pads on my Cx9. I dint see emergency break cable, is on the rear caliper?
It goes through the backside of the spindle/knuckle.

How do you get the real rotor off when the emergency brake adjuster is froze up?
Thats a hard situation to be in. Ive been there many times. All I know to do is to keep prying and pounding.

Why replace the disc they looked good?

@@MegaMilesBen thanks! My Toyota Camry had rotors replaced because they were warped ! Hope my Mazda cx9 doesn't need them replaced!
