I went to autozone and they looked at me like i meant 32mm. I said no, i need a 52mm!! and they said well i don't think they make a 52mm, so now I am here asking you guys. Where did you guys get it from?

 

are you looking for the flywheel bolt?

 

Yes

 

I got mine at sears....30 bucks

 

Got mine at sears, $20 (I don't now how you paid $30)! They normally stock them, but I had to order mine. The 2 1/8" works fine.

 

I can not read so well , do you want a bolt or a socket for a bolt

 

It's a 54 mm socket, not a 52mm bolt.

Here's the route I went. It's a 2 1/8" 6 point impact socket, part number 5552A242 from

http://www.mcmaster.com

it's around $30, it's 3/4" drive, and it worked like a charm. I used a Porter Cable pt502 impact wrench (rated at 500 ft. lbs. torque), and it came right off. I also tried hangin on it with a 3 foot breaker bar before I bought the impact wrench and couldn't get it to budge. That sucker is on there tight. Good luck.

 

I didn't have any problems getting the flywheel nut off with my impact gun, but I spent a good two or three hours getting the front pulley bolt off. Now, THAT thing is really on there! You'll need a 3 or 4 foot breaker bar, a friend, and a lot of patience.

 

Yeah actually i think i need both, one of the how to's
said to go ahead and replace the flywheel nut also. Sorry for the confusion



54mm [2(1/8)] socket to remove that nut and the flywheel nut size?

 

Also, its easier to get a flywheel stoper for $25 from Mazdatrix. Put that on, then undo the front bolt, then undo the flywheel bolt.

If you pull the flywheel off you'll need to put it back on the take the front bolt off......well sometimes you can do it if your using a impact but with a breaker bar you want the flywheel on there and to have the flywheel stoper holding it in place.

Also, the socket can be found at sears like everyone mentioned, as for the bolt I have no idea if thats what you really need. I guess Mazda would have it.
