it really all depends on what you can reuse and what you cant, thats what makes price change flucuate, and if you do it yourself, make sure you measure everything right

At the minimum you will need the soft seal kit just to put it back together if you tear into it. If the internals are within Mazda's specifications they can reused and if not you'll have to replace them. If the housings are in bad shape you'd have to replace those as well. Luckily, you can post photos up in the technical section and someone more informed than I can tell you if they are worth reusing or not.

take your time, dont rush anything, and dont go cheap on parts. when tearing down, keep as much as possible in labled plastic baggies, and you might want to heat up the bolt that seems stuck on the front cover, when you get there you'll know
