Replace Front Brake Pads - 2018 Mazda 3

This video walks through my experience replacing the front brake pads on my 2018 Mazda 3. For the last week I've noticed some vibration / pulsing when applying pressure to the brake pedal and the braking performance has been noticeably worse for the last several months.

The front brake pads are the originals and now have 37,000 miles on them. The tools necessary to perform this job are as follows: Ratchet + metric sockets (14 mm and 17 mm, deep well or regular), small adjustable wrench, demolition grade flat head screw driver, any small or medium sized hammer, lug nut wrench or socket compatible with your lug nuts + impact gun, brake pad grease, safety glasses, and protective gloves, wire brushes for removing rust, Breaker bar or ratchet extension handle for extra leverage. Elbow joint for better articulation for the ratchet when loosening the 17mm bolts.
