Please click on the MX-3 Shop Manual link on this site.<BR>There you have a very detailed explanation.

From what I remember there are 2 bolts that are in behind the wheel that hold the caliper on to the wheel assembly. These are not the ones with the rubber caps on them, they dont' come off.<P>What you need to do is buy a set of rebuilt calipers because your slides are full of crap and they are making your rear brakes lock up. I ruined 2 sets of rotors and pads until I finally got the hint. Here in the states I paid $65 at piece for the rebuilt calipers. If you wanna go the cheap route you can see if you can buy a rebuild kit or just get new caliper slides (Specifically buy Caliper lube, and lube the hell out of them, pack them good), but that doesn't rule out if the problem is in the piston. Make sure you get the tool to spin the piston back in when your done, and make sure you bleed the system a few times to make sure there is no air in your lines.

Thanks man <BR>all I can find is 200cnd for rebuilt calipers

I had them rebuild at the shop. Hand brake was sticking the pads to the rotor. At high speeds there was smoke from the rear rotors. Ruined one set of original Mazda brake rotors.<P>Then they ordered a piston rebuild set and replaced all the seals.<BR>Now they work like new.

200cnd for both sides? well that seems a little high, but does that include core charge? maybe you should call ummm whats the place you guys have up there, something TIRE and they give you play money you can use. Thats about all I can help, let me know what you find out.

thats 200 each plus core

I just bought a rear caliper last weekend from the part source for 197 including core. After you return the old caliper it cost 107.00 cdn
