Plz help! How to install TCE wilwood 13inch.

I have read manual many times but I still do not understand how to install.
I am not good in English and also this is my first time to install brake kits.
I think I need picture manual.
Can anyone make installation manual for me please?

I am looking at this page. http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/show...1&page=1&pp=15
Can I just follow this manual for installation?

No, you cannot. The Mazda is a 'reverse mount' and not the same as the MINI. Due to fit it does not even use threaded inserts for caliper bolts.

Consult someone who can help you my friend. That is the best advise I can offer you. While there is really only one way to fit all the parts you will reqire some grinding of the spindle and centering of the caliper. Not too mention hose routing.

Visit a local race prep shop who may prep sedans for local racing. They will not even ask for instructions and probably run through all of it in less than two hours!

BTW: two notes whic may not be clear: 1. Remove the 'dust shield' and discard. 2. Remove the old pad wear sensor and secure via zip tie or tape away from the brakes.

TonyB has a TCE kit...

but it's not the 13 incher.

PM him and he'll be happy to send you a photo.

Todd, would this help? or are the kits too different?
