Just start wrenching away. I'm have no idea what you are asking, but there is almost no way u can screw this up, as long as the lip on the bushing is on the TOP of the triaxial knucle assembly
|
does anybody know how much to torque the axle lock nut to? i can't find it in my haynes manual.
|
175 ft-lbs to 220 ft-lbs as per Mazda Factory Service Manual which can be found at www.fc3s.org or iluvmyrx7.com. The Haynes Manual says it too in the drive axle section. Read carefully

-you need to raise rear of car,
-take off both rear wheels -blast brakes with brake cleaner and wear gloves -take off both rear calipers and hang them with zip ties onto the spring without kinking any of the brake lines -take off both rear rotors -get 32 mm socket, impact gun good for atleast 240 ft-lbs in reverse -remove the stake in the axle lock nuts -remove the axle lock nuts -push the 1/2 shafts in by finger or gently tap with a peice of wood and hammer -undo the 3 bolts that hold the triaxial floating knuckle to the rear trailing control arms -then remove the knucle with the hub still attached -press out bushings -clean area -remove any burrs -install new bushings with press/hammer/vise/whatever bolt everything back up. besure to torque to recommended values as specified in teh FSM, use new axle lock nuts! done. see mazdatrix faq for pictorial write up So what you're saying is take it to a professional https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png Man, I'm gonna have fun replacing the toe eliminators. |

Man, I'm gonna have fun replacing the toe eliminators. I started this thread thinking it would be very difficult. I found that it is very easy. If you can change your springs/shocks. you can install the toe steer eliminators. Just DO NOT step on the break pedal when the calipers are undone, you do not want to have to push the piston back in, it's hard to do. |
