You will notice though most impact wrench sets all use 6-point. IMO.. it's more important on high torque applications.
OK, good to know. For the price I'd do the same replacing these old shims and springs and more grease to boot!Everything here was included in the hardware kit.
The only redundant items with brake pads were the brown and black grease packets. Just pads and grease. Nothing else pictured above came with pads.
Yep. No doubt 6-point is the safest!You will notice though most impact wrench sets all use 6-point. IMO.. it's more important on high torque applications.
Good to know. So I assume there's no instruction telling us which grease is for which.The black grease is for the back of pads. The brown grease is for the contact points on the side the pads have with the shims.
I just used some Sil-Glyde I still had from other brake jobs for the slide pins.
This one doesn't come with the grease packets ⋯I think you are looking for KAY02649Z for '16+

Thanks for the info. I definitely would prefer getting K0Y1-26-49ZA with grease packets if possible. Luckily I just got a new set of rear disc pads、rotors、and revised calipers under warranty based on EPB TSB. It should be a while when I need a new set of rear disc pads.It may not be listed. Here is a kit with the same PN on a Russian site that shows the packets.
EDIT: It does have an "A" at end of PN so not sure if that changes things.
EDIT: Actually it says K0Y1-26-49ZA

Thanks for posting!Here are those grease instructions that came with OEM pads.
I know this won't help at all, but my God if your CX-5 just isn't a lemon. Doesn't seem very typical all the issues you have had.30,000 rears were shot. 69,000 rear caliper just seized today. Mazda told me 2 weeks before they can fix my strut because too many cars are in for service. I am going to an Indy Monday to have everything fixed. Most troublesome new car I have ever owned.
