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

-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

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.
