Na. No help. Need to put the banjo bolt on, but don't know how. Basically, can anyone provide a step by step instruction list of how to do it.

 

here is what I have seen....

The banjo bolt is on the rear end of the primary fuel rail--opposite side from the pulsation damper(pd). What you do is get an extra primary fuel rail, remove the bolt from the rear of it, remove your pd(need two wrenches--one to hold as a backup and one to turn it loose), and then install the banjo bolt in the pd's place. Simple, and as long as you can get the bolt, only should take a couple minutes. HOWEVER, there are different opinions as to whether or not this is a safe thing to do for the long term. I am looking at getting one now just as a short-term myself, since a new pd is around $130 and I can hopefully get the banjo bolt for like $5. But thats all there is to it

 

As this is a Jap import, the PD is actually on the secondary rail, not the primary.

Heather, can't Mazda get a replacement PD for you?

 

Yeah I forgot that.

That sure makes it easy to replace!

 

so is it the same thread pitch as a-spec? if so you need a 12x1.25 you remove the pd and the bolt goes where the pd was. the reason this works so well is becouse the pd is a banjo bolt just a leaky banjo bolt...

im surprise noone has flmaed you for not using teh search over 50 results. go to http://rotaryresurrection.com/ and look under pulsation dampener also since your car is spec japan ( ahahah ) anyways is the othe rrail you will have to use

 

Thanks for your help.Going to work on it tomorrow. As for the last message, i have actually done as search, and yes there are LOTS (over 50) threads on this topic, however I needed a "quote: "step by step instruction" which is NOT in any of the other threads. So a big THANK YOU to those who realised this and responded.

 

dude i helped you didnt I? no need to get freasky sorry .. for crying out loud...

 

so i understand that the banjo bolt is unsafe and that you should just replace the PD instead...but when should you replace it? i mean...i dont want to wait till my car catches on fire to know i should replace it, so when is a good time to replace it as a safety measure?

 

Some people claim the Banjo bolt is safe. I personally don't but many people do.

It is recommended that the PD (no matter what series- 3-4-5-6) is replaced every 100K miles or 10 years which ever comes first.

 

Sorry Peruvianrx7. That link actually did help, i've printed it off and added it to my little collection of "how to's on the PD".

 

its cool man. you welcome keep it real but my recomendation is to buy a new pulsation damper from mazdaformance only 90 bucks!

 

what does a banjo bolt look like an whats the cost;where do you find it.

 

It's just a bolt. I'm sure you can do a search to find it. With it you aren't replacing the PD, you're just blocking it off and there's nothing left to smooth out the fuel system pulses. With a new PD lasting 100k miles, just do it the right way and replace the PD. OTOH a bolt is better than a leaky PD and an engine fire, so regardless of your decision please do something soon.

 

Anyone considering the banjo bolt "mod" needs to read this topic:
