okay so i'm in the middle of raplacing the rubber pieces of **** (which are not no longer rubber but have transformed into a hard plastic that hates me) and i start trying to remove them from the electric things (technical description) under the rats nest when i realize that the one i was twisting came off pretty easy......**** THE PLASTIC NIPPLE BROKE OFF!!!!! so of course at this point im a little depressed, but continue on removing satans hoses and get to the last one and SNAP another nipple broken....to be more clear on which things they were...one is the one at the front under the solenoid it was black with green socket, and the other is the last one in the row, orange i believe.



so here are my main questions:



How much do those pieces of **** cost?



How do i get the damn rats nest off?



Am i the only one that has ran into this issue? - if not we should really add this into the reliability mod section....we could title it:



MAZDA SUCKS, AND SHOULD HAVE PUT ONE ******* TURBO ON IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

pullin and twistin em typically causes that..

specially on brittle heat cycled plastic nipples..

i usually advice on splittin the rubber first with an exacto knife..

and pryin the rubber from the split..

no idea on the prices of the parts? or how to ah nevermind

thanks amp, that will be very very useful when i do my hoses

these are the two things that had the nipple break off. if anyone has ever had to replace could you give me a price?



is there any way to replace them without pulling the rats nest?

the solenoids are only clipped onto the rack..

with a bit of patience you can remove and replace without completely removing the rack.

First, its alot easier to do the hose job with the rack off. Just my opinion.



Try to get some from forum members that have gone Non seq or single. Mazda will most likley rape you in the butt for them.

remove some emmissions stuff. You only need half of those to run the turbos. They're almost all the same.

what year is your car, I can grap you a part #
