WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Remove the camshaft bearing thrust caps No. 1R and 5R first. Do not loosen any of the other bolts until the thrust caps are removed, or damage to the thrust caps may occur.

  1. Loosen bolts in several passes.

    • Do not remove bolts completely.
