The Mazda badge (the one that says 'Mazda') on my hatch has a hole behind it (for mounting the badge). I noticed Edrive73 took the badge off. Did you have to fill the holes?

The answer is.... You need to use a 'brake caliper reset tool'. I rented one from Autozone. The procedure in the previous post may work, but I wouldn't try it. I replaced the pads and rotors today and can outline the steps for anyone who wants to know. Piece of cake!

Can anyone tell me what tools I need and the sequece for recompressing the caliper piston on a rear brake pad replacement. I have heard several senarios about how this is done. One involves an alley bolt that backs the piston and the other involves a special tool that compresses the piston...

Does anyone know if these options work with the iPhone?

Yes racer! I took off the moldings on the door. Thankx all for the advice and comments.

I like the cleaner look...that is if the paint were not mis-colored.

I had someone take a look at it and they seem to think it had an aftermarket 'Polysheild' applied to it. Will the above mentioned products remove this coating, or is there another technique I should follow?

Does anyone have pictures of exterior chrome door handle covers on their Mazda3 hatch?

Thankx guys...turns out there is something wrong with the ECU is guess...the new key fab is sending a signal and the directions listed above are correct, but the darn thing won't program. Hopefully the dealer tech can fix it under warranty.

WOW!!!! Let me know if you have a link or hardcopy reference on that OEM rack. Thule is an option, but the rack on the P5 looked alot nicer. Thankx again for the responce.

Thankx for your responses. I still could not get it to work so I am going to have to bite it and see if I can get a resonable price on programming from the dealer. I did try a new battery..thankx for the suggestion.

Any idea why this would not work???? I have tried about 100 times and nothing happens after step 5.

Does anyone know how to program a replacement keyless remote for a 2004 Mazda3 S hatchback? I have tried the instructions that came with the remote from ebay, but the car does not respond the way they say it should....on / off three times, close/open door three times, then car should lock and...
