Spongy brakes = no track event for me!!
Put my track pads and new rotors on and
bleed the brakes with speed bleeders now i have a spongy pedal rear caliper boot was torn and when I back up I would hear a harsh vibration noise with the street pads come to think of it I had problems screwing the one rear caliper down(not the torn boot side!) when I put the street pads in did not go to my track event at SP this w/e I am bummed to say the least I have never been happy with the firmness of the brakes so I am going to rebuild the front & rear calipers and the master cylinder sorry about the long message I had to vent comments/suggestions? |
Since you have spongy brakes.. I would say you need to re-bleed them again.
No need to rebuild. Also, if you turn in the slave cylinders to far you brakes suck and will feel spongy until the piston readjusts itself. |
Bleed the master cylinder.....

I think I will look for '04 to replace it |
You can bleed it by opening the connector for the brake line.....but Mazda may have designed it so it self bleeds? Dunno

sounds like I need to take the rears apart
any tips, special tool a must you dont need any special tools to take the whole thing apart. you dont even need to take the rear apart. You might have a bad piston seal, but thats just RAREeeeeee. Just Turn your rear piston out and inspect it, but make sure you have a new set of rear seals before you turn it out. if the piston has no marks on it and the seals looks fine, REPLACE THE SEAL and turn it back in, then start bleeding it all over again. ' and take those fucking speed bleeders away, I know a lot of people use them with no issues. call me weird but I just dont trust those. I have friends/family that can help me bleed my brakes whenever I want/need to. and stock bleed screw works very well for me. Im sticking with that. |
