my rear calipers being seized only one of them still had the piston side moving so that pad was to the metal, and i didnt had the 400$ to drop on a pair of complete new calipers so i was stretching the delay as much as possible.
about 2 mins from my house, about to turn the other way to stop by napa and get brake pads cuz the sound is so annoying, my rear driver side pad falls out of its seat, jams into the caliper and this guy in his lambo is honking at me cuz the wheel isnt turning anymore lol.

it unjammed as i entered the neares parking lot,went strait home, called my mom so she would pick up pads on her way back from work and i started the job in the meantime
as usual with my mazda, everything was jammed in rust and my bernzomatic was my best friend for each bolt. i still manage to snap one of the caliper slider bolts...
here is my mag collecting all the rust after 1 day its been on the car

and here is how bad they are seized, i will be getting calipers tomorrow


i dont wanna drive the van down town 2 days in a row ( need it Friday to move some stuff for my bro), took the car for a test ride and brakes WAY better now even tough 1 calliper is missing a slider, i relubed the passenger side slider pins and the 1 on the driver side.

ouch that sounds rough lol. i was running late picking up my kids from school the other day, about 3/4 of the way there i hear a sound, im like oh no please dont be the tire. sure enough the tire was flat. i was running to late to stop and change it so i just drove it to the boys school limping. got the kids, went to get the spare out from under the van, sure enough it was flat too. put it on and drove to the nearnest gas station, but by then the sidewall was sooo badly worn i didnt even want to chance it lol. drove it to walmart like a mile away and got some new tires put on that i didnt have the money for lol. glad to see im not the only one having problems
