Mazda3 Gen 1+2 driver side CV axle replacement
Applies to Mazda3 up to and including 2013. SLIGHT TOOL MODIFICATION REQUIRED! This would have been a dead simple job if the cv fork adapter fit, but I wasted a lot of time trying to make it fit before giving up and grinding the sides down.
Another way to make this job easier is if you disconnect the tie rod end from the knuckle. If you do that you can twist the knuckle side to side, making removal from the strut much quicker. Looking back I wish I had done that.
The slide hammer and fork adapter cost me about CDN $130 (same price as the driveshaft), so it may not make economical sense to DIY this job. However, if you already have a slide hammer or can borrow one free from your local parts store, fork adapters can usually be found for around $30.
Torque specs (ft lbs):
Strut-knuckle pinch bolt: 50
axle nut: 190
brake caliper bracket-knuckle bolts: 75
brake caliper mounting pins: 22
wheel nuts: 86
Special tools required:
1/2" drive torque wrench
32mm 1/2" drive socket
slide hammer
OTC 7507 CV joint removal adapter (or similar)
Mazda M5 ATF to replace any lost fluid (if auto trans)
