Good video. I've always opened the brake line bleeder in order to move the piston in, then topped off the fluid once everything's back in place. Seems like you opened the bleeder a bit. Any reason why this wasn't mentioned, or am I missing something? Note, this is also the first time I've had a car where I have to rotate the pistons.
I thought for this job vehicle needed to be put into "maintenance mode" first because of electric E-brake. Also, no need to screw the caliper pistons in. They can be pushed in with a special tool.
Ok so I don’t need to put it into maintenance mode for changing the rear brake pads? I changed them didn’t have any problems changing the rear pads but my wife is saying she’s hearing a whining noise from the rear on and off when she uses the brakes.
Did you fully push the pistons back into the caliper? Could also be the brake hardware scraping on something if it wasn't properly engaged onto the brake pad. Maintenance mode is for the electronic parking brake models, if you have a traditional brake, you should be fine.@@garyharlan7999

Mazda cx5 2015, thanks i was.really frustrated not knowing the piston screwwed in to retract. Just used small vice grip to turn it. Thanks, where do i send a gratuity, lol google was 5$ just to ask.
Great tip on the angle grinder tool - saves be from digging for that weird cube shaped tool i had for another Mazda
It's amazing what not wanting to drive to AutoZone will do haha!

How do you know if you've torqued things to spec?
Make sure you block the front wheels! If you notice the dude's car is rolling forward when jacking his rig back off the jack stands.
Good call - I did have the chocked off, I just removed the chocks before lowering. Should've shown it though, you're right!
You left out a very important detail... when doing rear brakes, you must to put the vehicle in maintenance mode.
Maintenance mode is only necessary for the electronic parking brake, not the manual one.
