DO NOT split the caliper halves apart if that's what your thinking. You don't need to do that to remove the pistons, and you'll just create yourself more problems getting them to seal properly when you put them back together. Whatever seals that are between the two halves doesn't come with the Mazda rebuild kit.

You only need to remove the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the caliper bracket on the spindle. If it was still on the car, you would also need to remove the brake line.
