The calipers are overloading and not fully releasing the rotors. Have you changed the proportioning valve in the brake system? You may want to start there.

SOURCE: Removing the front brake rotor on a 1998 Mazda Protege

You do not have to remove the big center nut. You might have to tap on it with a hammer to get it off. If there is anything solid near it to pry against (don't pry against the dust shield) try that too. If none of this helps you can try heating it near the center. You should be able to get it off without heating it but it is possible that that is what you will have to do.

SOURCE: Need diagram for Mazda b4000 brake drum assembly

Okay, then you have what you need. Just take the drum off of the other side and use it as a reference. You are going to have a hard time trying to find a diagram. The Hayes and others are just general pictures and not necessarily what is on your specific vehicle. I do not have that particular diagram myself.
Please remember to rate this fix.

Mazda B4000 high mount light fuse location


User
1998 mazda b4000 high mount light doesn't work. where is fuse located? not shown on manual.

ChatGPT
The high mount brake light fuse on a 1998 Mazda B4000 may not be shown in the owner's manual because it is often a shared circuit with other lights and accessories.

That being said, the fuse for the high mount brake light is typically located in the engine compartment fuse box or under the dashboard fuse box. Check your owner's manual for the exact location of the fuse box in your vehicle.

Once you locate the fuse box, look for a fuse labeled "STOP" or "CHMSL" (Center High Mount Stop Lamp) or "BRAKE" that is related to the high mount brake light. Use a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the fuse and check if it has blown.

If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. If the new fuse also blows, there may be an underlying issue with the wiring or the high mount brakelight assembly itself that will require further investigation by a qualified mechanic.

My car vibrate at 100-120km/hr i have bought new tires and done the wheel balncing but it still vibrate and whenever i tried to apply the break at this speed it vibrate serously. it's a 2001 mazda mpv

This is due to poor settings of the wheel bearings,tyres,- check balancing once again, wheel drums/ brake pads,suspension , joints and steering.
In all the entire front suspension must be checked, the WHELL ALIGNMENT must be checked with precision and each of the wheels must be checked for damage on hub, axle or chassis.

Emergency brake sticking.....i think. Mazda B4000 pickup

Are you sure it is the emergency brakes?Or is it a caliper stuck,because it is bad,or the caliper brake hose is stopped up?Jack the wheels up,one at a time,and try to see if they will turn by hand.This will tell you if it is front,or rear.If it is the emergency brake,then the cable from the front,to the bake,is most likely the problem,it is rusted ,and frayed,and stuck,you will have to disconnect it at the rear,from the brakes.If this helps,let us know,If it is the calipers,in the front,the wheels will not turn by hand.Brake loose the caliper bleed screw,and if the caliper turns the wheel loose,then the brake hose is bad,if it does not ,then the caliper is bad on that wheel.
