Like others, I had to use a cut off wheel on my hand grinder to cut the E-brake cable out of the caliper. That thing was fossilized into that hole, no penetrating fluid had a chance. Wasn't really that hard to do, just have to be careful not to cut into the cable. Get some deep notches on either side of it and then use a flat had screwdriver or small pry bar into the cuts and break out a couple chunks of the aluminum caliper. When I got about 180 degrees of the caliper cut out (ie. halfway around the cable), I flipped the caliper over and just tapped the back of the cable. Popped right out. Clean it up real good with a file or sandpaper to make it easier getting in the new caliper. Use anti-seize. Mazda doesn't make this car easy to work on, I'll say that. Last one I'll buy, sticking with Hondas and Toyotas from here out.

This video made my weekend possible! I had a break fluid leak in my 3. Needed both calipers and flex hoses. Unfortunately, due to the excessive rust I had to cut the metal line before the flex hose. I was able to add fittings and flare the lines to connect the flex hoses then use this video to get everything back together. My dad is coming over later to help me bleed the brakes. Thanks a LOT!

Works for an 06 as well. Used the video as reassurance as I changed mine before seeing this video, but looks like I did well! Thanks!

I thought this was a very well filmed and informative video. Getting ready to put a new caliper on my sons 3 (old one is sticking and won't release fully) and wanted to get a heads up on the procedure. This was exactly what I was looking for!

Disappointing, the hand brake part of this job is by far the worst part and both removal ( "...so no one has to go through what I went through.") and install are both just glazed over.

I'm sorry, but how daft of Mazda to not use a banjo bolt!!!

Would the flex hose be easier to remove before removing the caliper?

If you handbrake cable sleeve was extremely stuck on, don't hammer it! Even with a brass punch I dented and dinged mine to where upon reinstall it wouldn't fit in the ear without sanding. What I would do instead (and did on the second caliper), is simply saw the ear off the caliper, then twist the sleeve out with vise grips, you only need two cuts and it came out very easily after that.

See comment by @nostrilnick for how-to... I replaced both rears of my 2012, and the e-brake cable was 'fossilized' into the caliper of both. Had to buy and use an angle grinder (first time!) to cut out bits around the cable end to get it to pop out, and then some 60 grit sandpaper to get it to fit into the new one. Would've been nice to have some heads-up from the video about that (added an extra trip to harbor freight), but otherwise excellent video tutorial.

2010 Mazda speed three, I’m not sure that it works on that car. For mine, the handbrake cable, the hole that it passes through, appears to have a lip so I can’t be forced out of the caliper.
