WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6 and 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Performing the following removal and installation without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor could cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Removing the right side axle shaft with the shaft bracket installed may cause the deformation of the intermediate shaft bracket. Therefore, remove/install the right side axle shaft and intermediate shaft as a component.
