A newbie so apologies if this has been addressed before.
2006 Mazda 3. I am not a wrench but have changed the front pads on bmw's, miata and nissans.
Daughter in law rear pads are low, purchased pads and searched on here for instructions but they seem to apply to the Protege and the descriptions are not quite the same. My issue after taking off the wheel is removing the e-brake cable (do i have to?..how to do it?)....not wanting to take chances on screwing something up is there any detailed descriptions on the steps necessary (preferably illustrated)....i read in here the need for a calibration tool also....i guess i am just looking for some direction if y'all can assist!
if i have to buy a tool and manual then probably best use of my time and money to take to local shop but i enjoy the self satisfaction.
many thanks
