Mazda Service Info is a new section I'm making to help the spread of knowledge to us owners who wish to be "in the loop".

"Snap-on" is a mazda service manager and really wants to help grow the community. Because of his ability to provide us with current info and his obvious experience with our vehicles I'm making him the moderator of this section. It'll be used as a tech section to store and catalog various recalls, warranty issues and dealership updates.

This is yet another forum asset.

Let's all thank him for his time and willingness to share with us when others do not extend their hand to our communities.

 

Nice idea! Good way to keep up to date with any problems that are announced, especially for those with newer models like the 3, 5, and 6!

 

Yea, good idea ...

Hey, since snap-on is a Mazda service manager, you think he'd be interested in 'running' the same type of forum on www.rx8club.com ... and in the near future when I get the Mazda 6 forum up and running?

 

very possible. I'll ask him and see.

 

There's a forum for RX-8's?

hahaha! yeah www.rx8club.com www.rx7club.com are also owned by Ryan "boostd7"...as-is RX Tuner magazine!

 

Great idea! I'm here to help as well if anyone needs any information. Nice to know there is a service manager here too! I think it will help your community.

 

Hey I just got a new mazda 3 and I want to know whare to find the spark pluggs at?

 

wrong section for this question, but they would be under the plastic engine cover on the cam cover....I believe you will see 2 wires with boots and 2 coil packs bolted to the cam cover

 

I am trying to replace the wheel bearings on my wife's '03 P5.
Any tricks or tips to remove the wheel hub locknut?!! I just can't seem to break it free.

If there is a thread on this would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Rick h

 

A long breaker bar and stand on it. Of course it helps if you're 260lbs.

 

I'm a scrawny 140 lbs. and I managed to do it with a long enough pole. A strong breaker bar, and a 4 ft. hollow steel pole will do the trick. With a big enogh lever, you can get enough force to lift/break free just about anything ...

 

Some WD-40 usually helps. If not, try pouring some motor oil it - helps a lot.

 

If i can provide any additional info no Mazda vehicles i will do so. I'm a Tech for Mazda in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada.

 

NFRanger, any word on a re-flash to fix the fuckups with the flah I got on the MS6?
