Call them and tell them they are DUMBFUCKS!
BTW, who is this shop so we can all avoid them! The bearings (rotors at least) have a bendable tab that locks them in place. It's just a matter of bending the tab back or pounding them out from the opposite end - no biggie. -Ted |
You talking wheel bearings? If so, see the Mazdatrix website and their FAQ.
Or are you talking about the ujoints on the driveshaft? |

Did they say "STAKED" or "PINNED"
|
they sai pinned and its mazmax.com they are here in houston. I argued with them too and they were pretty persistant.
|

|

yea I have no idea how I can change them with my tools. I'm calling them tomorrow and asking for there "rotary tech" and if he says that again I'll stick it to them.
|
is there a write up on how to do it your self and what tools are needed
|
If you download the series five fsm and go to the ENGINE section, you'll find the procedure and the Mazda tool. Make your own tool. Press 'em out/press 'em in. Align the locking tab prior to pressing 'em in.

hah, what a bunch of hacks... a NAPA machine shop did mine perfectly and they thought the stationary gears were a transmission part
i did my rotor bearings on a cheap shop press |
are these "napa machine shop nation wide?
|
how much did they charge
|
NAPA is a nationwide outfit. I'd check out the web pages and find one near you. I've only bought one item ever from them myself. A Bosch wide band sensor.
There should be a automotive machine shop somewhere near you. Ask around at Pepboys, Autozone etc. They all have access to some machine shop that does that type work. |
