Hello folks,

Newbie here. Lottsa good info here. I have searched but could not find an answer...

I am replacing the pads on my 03 protege. The spring clips are giving me fits.

How do you replace the pads and attach the clips?

Clips on first and pads then attach clips??? or

pads on first and attache clips?????

I tried pads on first with no luck... I am tired and frustrated at this point.

Any insight is appreciated.

thanx,

David

 

a silly question , can you look at other side of car?
do you have access to auto parts store , the guys have alot of info in their computer and most are more than willing to help out.
I do brakes one side at a time

 

Copierman,

I'm sorry I took up your precious time with my silly question. If you will take the time to read the post... you will see that know WHAT needs to be done... it is a matter of HOW... from someone who has done this before.

I guess there is one in every crowd.

 

my apology , not mean to offend , just options if stuck

 

Here is a link to step-by-step instructions on another Mazda forum.

Can't guarantee accuracy, as I've never done Protege brakes, but it sounds reasonable.

Good luck!
