looking for a fellow mazda guy to help me with the brake adjustments (will pay for time) driver side front outter pad almost metal on metal all other pads are brand new some and rotors still have cross hatchings can not for the life of me figure out what is wrong still stops fine tho trying not to sell taxes are coming up
 
Make sure your slider pins are well lubed.
If they are binding/dragging you'll get uneven wear on the pads.
 
i do need to mention i dont have an e brake because of the adjustment if that changes anything and i will definitely lube them all up
 
I lube my brakes every year.
Some guys lube them twice a year.

Apparently Sil Glyde is really good lube and lasts much longer.

Try pushing on the brake pedal then pulling the P-brake handle about 40 times.
That should adjust your brakes.

There is an adjustment for the P-brake cable in the console under the P-brake handle. Your cables may have stretched or your self adjusters stopped working.
