Where to get air bleed sockets?

I'm after the air bleed sockets for the secondary injectors.

I called up Mazda and there was only one in Australia and one in Japan for a hefty price.

I would say there are some after market ones around for a better price hopefully.

You called your local Mazda dealer and they told you there was one in Australia and one in Japan? I find that hard to believe. I work for a Mazda dealer in VA and we deal with a lot of rotary parts. What kind of 2nd gen do you have? I will look it up myself just to double check them.

Those airbleed sockets are such a rip off ...

Lucky I was really careful when I remove mine and it came out of my old engine perfectly

I forgot to mention I'm in New Zealand. It wouldn't be the first time they have gotten my parts from overseas unfortunately.

Its a '87 Turbo, I wonder if it will be any cheaper from the states. Cheers fonzi!

The annoying thing is, I don't even remember taking them out >_<. I have spares of the primary ones here just to rub salt into the wound!

Yea...I thought about that the next day. The air bleed sockets are easily accessible for me to get. The problem for you is gonna be shipping to New Zealand. The best thing is to find a few things that you need and just ship it all in one box. That way you will save on shipping.

It's frustrating as they are the last 2 parts I need really >_<. Everything else can be made/found here.

I may just order them from Mazdatrix @ $31 each + shipping.
