14mm closed end wrench and a rubber mallet took care of those.

No problem. I've got the factory service manual if you need portions of it when you go to do the work.

So, to compress the pistons back into the calipers, you just rotate them clockwise? You don't use the old method of c-clamping the piston back in? Good to know!

You use the needle noise on the rear brakes, but on the fronts you just use a clamp! Thank you SS! i actually bought it on ebay so I have it myself! Thank you!

RE: Rear brakes mazda6 Sportwagon

Just wanted to send you a quick thanks for your post & description of how to get the piston back in. Would probably have never figured it out without your post & diagram. Thanks again.
