How do I install front axles on a Mazda?

Answer by  Samhane (703)

Remove tires, wheels, rotors, caliipers, and all other accessories until only the axle is visible. Next, remove the bolts that secure the axle into the transmission on transaxle. The axle should slide out from both sides. The installation is the reversal of the installation. Remember to put plenty of grease in the boots when replacing the axles.

Mazda's are front wheel drive vehicles, so this is a simple process, you need an overhead lift for best results as you can just unbolt and rebolt them in.

This is a fairly difficult repair. If you consider yourself a novice i would suggest consulting a licensed mechanic, or at the very least referring to the user manual that came with your car. A repair like this can be expensive and hazardous if not done by a trained professional.

Remove the front wheels and the brakes and you will be able to pull them right out. Make sure to get the car aligned afterwards.

This is a very difficult job to repair. I consider to consult a repair dealer shop, or professional licensed mehchanic that has experience in this field of work. Look through the car manual that came with the car. Warning this job could put you at a dangerous risk if not done right.

You should take it in to have it fixed. Or go get a manual for the car. Just tell them the make and model of the car. Or take it to get it fixed.
