mazda tribute brakes
#1
I might be changing out rotors and pads on a Mazda Tribute for a friend for some extra cash. Compared to an FC, anything majorly different?
I'm guessing it's all disc brakes, and Mazda isn't known for using funky star bits or anything, right?

I just did a front job on my dad's new rotors and pads, pretty simple so i wouldnt sweat it. rotors were redicuously cheap so i would replace them if the existing are at all in question. The clips you pull of the studs can be tossed they are like the screws on the rx brakes, just to hold them in place on the assembly line.

jack
jack stands
8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19mm sockets
same wrenches?
Do any pistons have to be pressed in or turned in?

yer gonn have to press the caliper piston back in when you put the new pads in that's SOP, don't forget to uncap the master cylinder when you do it. also you need a hex socket for the caliper bolts.

Lol, wish I would have seen this earlier. I just did front brakes on my Tribute...its really easy. The hex bolt is the only deal. The spring on the front is somewhat a bitch to get back on, but it was really straight forward.
Pads were about $30 and new rotors are about $55....
