Front driver side brake caliper lower pin replaced. Lubed and replaced front brake pin boots. Rear brakes were exercised for movement. Brake fluid flushed. Coolant drained and filled with distilled water 3x. Ran engine till 212F when the thermostat opened to circulate coolant and flush old. Plenty of black specs in each flush. This is common on the forums and comes from a lined pipe in cooling system that is flaking off. Ordered overkill aluminum coolant reservoir as a proactive step to the plastic tank failure and will install following weekend. Brake fluid flushed with dot4 Clutch flushed with dot4 Pennzoil 5w-20 full synthetic with Mazda filter Power steering fluid replaced with redline d4 atf
