I lost one of the primary air bleed sockets. I looked in the fsm and it says to use new o-rings when I put the injectors back in. Does anyone know the mazda part number for the socket and if I can use just regular autozone or hardware store o-rings. Is there a place online I can get these parts from or does someone have one to sell?(nearest dealer is two hours from me) I checked mazdatrix and they don't have them.

Thanks

I'm not sure where to find them (I'd like to get some new ones myself), but I am pretty certain that whatever you use will need to hold up to some decent heat/cool cycles, fuel, dust, dirt...

I think any o-ring would work, I use o-rings all the time at work that are used for hydrualic oil. So I don't see why some other form of crude oil would hurt them. I just really need the air bleed socket.

Mazdatrix has the OEM air bleeds on their website, with pics. They are expensive.

Can you post the link I must be blind I did not see them.

nevermind I found them and yes they are high 38.79 for a piece of plastic. Anyone have one they don't need

These things get sooo brittle from gas that they almost always crack or break when you try and remove one. You're better off coughing up the cash for a new one.

You are problably right, but mine came out with no problem so maybe, maybe someone in bushmerica has one (cough) america.

On a side note I live about an hour and half from Evansville.

As do I. I live in Gibson County. The main body of the bleeder usually comes out okay. Its the little feet supporting the little perforated table that breaks.
