2016 - 2022 Mazda CX-9 - Replacing Front Brake Pads & Rotors - EASY DIY! Complete with Torque Specs

This tool is sometimes helpful if the screwdriver or pry bar trick doesn't push the caliper all the way in.

Just a quick video showing how I replaced the Front Brake Pads & Rotors on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. This is the same for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, & 2022. It's also the same process for a Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, and Mazda CX-7.

The Torque Specs that I found online:
Caliper Bracket Bolts 68 - 81 ft. lbs
Caliper Slide Pins 62 - 68 ft. lbs
Please verify with your manual.

One of the clearest and best-explained brake change videos I’ve seen. Great camerawork too! Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video Dan!

9:21 Isn't it better to apply that orange lubricant to the inner part of the caliber where it contacts the shims? That'll Make it less visible and attract less dust.

I’m doing the front and rear pads on a 2021 cx9 this weekend, what torque specs do I need? (Not doing rotors this time around)

[armandovilla]

I'm having problems with my front passenger side brakes. After changing my brake pads, it started to make a clunky sound when I drive it . But it fades when I accelerate. Has that happened to you before ?

Hey man have you ever had trouble with the key fob? Sometimes the car doesn’t pick up the key fob and I have to touch the fob to the start button to start the car

Slide pin torques are close to 25ft lbs pretty sure, not 65.

It is the same as cx52021?? I just changed diy my brake pads and start to make a clunk noise, I think I put the shims in the wrong position, do you think that I can do it in the position that you did it in the video ??

Thank you!! Very clear and helpful. Can I ask, did the abutment clips come with the pads or did you order them separately? Trying to figure out a part number.
