Gathering the parts… I’m fine with performance of OEM hardware and going to do a flush with my Motiv brake bleeder

Local dealers wanted $100 or so more than this on parts. If others get OEM parts cheaper let everyone know. I purchased through Mazdaswag

I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of extracted fluid but it was a little darker than vial on the left. Easy one person job… sit back and wait for fluid bleed on each wheel. I try to keep the bleeder container at 10 psi. I put fluid in pressure container with mine.. I know some just use for pressure and refill master reservoir. Not really an issue for me to clean everything up with denatured alcohol.

I used this adapter with the thicker included gasket

Before you buy new rotors, see if yours can be turned. This is a 100% acceptable practice according to the Mazda FSM. You can save a significant amount of money this way.

Never thought of hanging the bottle like that! Brilliant!
 
Put the wheels back on this morning and took it out for a test drive.

Perfect in all regards... braking, pedal feel, and stopping distance feels like new
