I don't know the names of the parts so couldn't search...

But just watch the video and post if you have any idea on how to remove this piece.

Explosives?

Not the best picture, but it looks like the piece that's hitting is pressed into the cast portion. Maybe you can use a vice to press it out the other way.

 

You just have to wiggle the crap out of it, a prybar helps. Make sure you don't damage the fiber washer when you pull it off. When I'm parting out the rear hubs I usually just jam a screwdriver behind that fiber washer and break it off, after that the hub practically falls out.

 

put a socket in there that barely fits in the hole from the far side (side not stuck), and tap that sleeve out a little until it is out of the way.

 

This sounds like a good idea!


I'll report back tomorrow and hopefully it comes off.

 

Soak it with PB Blaster and then pry. Or tap it out with a soft punch.

The fiber washer is only a few dollars at Mazda and the old ones break very easily.
