- How to change brake pads and rotors on a Mazda MX5 Miata ND ND2- installing Carbotech XP10/XP8
I did not mention it the video but it is recommended to clean the rotors with a brake cleaner prior to the installation. Many times the rotors have a thin layer of oil to protect them from rusting prior to being installed. However the rotors I had where coated instead hence I did not see any need for that.

In todays video I will be showing how to install new brake pads and rotors on my 2019 MX5 30th Anniversary.
The car has 4 piston Brembo calipers up front and standar done piston calipers that is shared amongst all 2015-2021 MX5 ND and ND2 models.
I will be installing Carbotech XP10 on the fronts and Carbotech XP8 on the rears. I will also be installing OEM brembo brake rotors.
WIth regards to the brake fluid I will be running Motul RBF600 however I will do the fluid change once the we are close to the season start

Great job Maz. One of the best videos on the net. Well documented. The only question is why did you replace the rotor?
Thank you! Glad you liked it! I didn't want to transfer anything from the old compound. So to eliminate any chance of doing so I sprung for new rotors as well.
Subbed because you’re the best! Thanks for being a based ND wrenching channel!
Thank you appreciate that!
Remember to clean the discs with brake cleaner forgot to mention that in the vid(have it in text I believe)
Great video👍🏻and nice to see a clean car when doing a video😉👍🏻
Thank you glad you liked it!
You explain each step so clearly, thank you.
thank you! Hope it helps
You are a gem Maz. Your organization of the different sections and bookmarks are appreciated. Thank you for sharing this.
thank you! Glad you liked it! Hope it helps.
Also forgot to mentioned in the video remember to clean the rotors with some brake cleaner or similar prior to the installation
The best videos I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you! appreciate it. I forgot to mention one thing though and that is to clean the discs before installing them
Another excellent video!
Thank you! glad you like it
Superb video. Thanks very much.
Thank you glad you liked it.
I forgot to mention to clean the rotors with som brake cleaner prior to installing them
Amazing, Than'ks Maz!!!!
Thanks. Good info.
Thank you, glad you liked it. One thing don't forget to clean the rotors prior to installing. Not sure if I mentioned that in the video
very helpful thank you
Glad you like it! Remember to use brake cleaner on the discs. I forgot to mention that part
Very nice video! My front caliper(s) seem to be dragging from time to time, so I might put your instructions to practice soon.
Thanks buddy! Hmm you mean as they seem to be engaged even when you stop braking?
@@Themazcorner Exactly, you can hear the friction. It's usually gone after driving for a bit though.
Ahh I see, could be worth to take it apart and check it out. It's a quick job
Great video. I'm planning to change the front brake rotor, this video helped me a lot to organize everything with the service manual before I start. One question: other than the correct torque, is Loctite or any other threadlocker needed for Miata's calliper bolts? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙌
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Also dont forget to clean your new rotors with brake clean prior to the install.
No loctite needed
@@Themazcorner Many thanks for your reply! 👍
No dubstep music?! What a pleasant surprise 😁 great video. I have ordered xp10/xp8 combo for my f56 cooper s. Vart i Sverige håller du hus?
Tnx! Sometimes music sometimes not 😆
Stockholm!
@@Themazcorner Har du planer på att köra arlanda test track? Gå med i facebookgruppen 😉
Jag körde en gång där förra året i oktober. Men det blir nog någon mer körning hoppas jag.
Är med i den gruppen redan (tror jag)
Thanks man! I'm about to put on my pads this weekend, very helpful! how's the brake noise with carbotech? I'm using G-loc (very similar compound) hoping its not too loud once it's bedded in properly
Thank you, hope it helps. You are doing just pads or rotors as well? Either way it could be to check the recommendations on how to do the bed with new or alternatively used rotors for thale givennpd. Also if new rotors give them a hit with a brake cleaner in case there is some oil or similar on them.
How they will sound I will know in a couple of weeks 😆
@@Themazcorner I'm doing both! Although my rotors are in good shape so just resurfacing them rather than brand new ones
Ahh ok! Are you doing the resurfacing yourself? Was thinking of doing that but I'll keep "OEM" those rotors and pads for when I am selling the car. But re-using the rotors is much cheaper. I paid almost 300EUR for the rotors alone :S
@@Themazcorner so apparently auto parts stores in California will resurface rotors for you if they are within spec. So trying that out!
Great video! The bolt for brembo caliper listed in the manual is 79-101, is that nm? Seems a bit high...
thanks, glad you liked it. I forgot to mention in the video do clean the discs with some brake cleaner prior to installing them.
The torque spec is from the shop manual
www.hexorcism.com/16ND/sm353008/
the numbers are read like NM//////(KGF-M///////ft-lbf)
@@Themazcorner Thanks! It is NM, which is prettty big torque number.
@@deanyang1982 👍try doing this type of stuff on a Mustang 🤣. I Remember that one bolt was 200+nm for the suspension 🥶
I know this was a while ago, but how did it work out not putting the shims back in?
it has been working well. I have some squeel but nothing major
@@Themazcorner Cool, thanks for the reply. I changed mine out this weekend and saw that some people leave them out. I ended up putting them back on.
Made it 87,000 on the original Brembo’s. 😳
Will you replace brake tubes?
are you thinking of the brake lines?
I might change them but I have read that the ND/ND2 at least comes with re-inforced lines from the factory but not sure if that is accurate or not.
@@Themazcorner I've read it too.
@@Themazcorner another question, do you still have the TPMS? Is there a way to remove and disable it?
I am running with tpms sensors on both of my wheels setups.
Could be possible to de-activate through forscan/tune etc
As many have said, great job! Can you share a link to the caliper piston compression tool you used to eliminate the guessing. Amazon has a lot of choices and figured I'd get whatever you have bought which has proven to work.
really sorry for the late response! I will try to find something on Amazon for the rears, if you are in a pinch you can actually turn them using a plastic flat tool of any kind(plastis to reduce risk of scratching the piston). Could use anything flat that fits to be honest. For the fronts you can use the intendended caliper depressing tool or the clamps I showed as well(almost easier with that to be honest)
I did not buy mine of Amazon, bought it from a local store here in Sweden. But let me check and I will get back if I can find the tools available in US for the rear caliper. There is some sort of cube used as well used by folks which do attach to a rachet wrench.
By the way did you drop me a mail with similar question? If yes you have my reply here :D, will get back if I can find anything in the Amazonas :)
For the fronts search on brake caliper press for the rear I found a very similar kit to mine www.amazon.com/Orion-Motor-Tech-Compressor-Replacement/dp/B01FW3U26G/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?crid=6KM1ZC783BBX&keywords=brake+caliper+cube&qid=1650961368&sprefix=brake+caliper+cube%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-11
The "cube" e.g. here

@@Themazcorner I reached out both ways. Thanks, I appreciate it.
