Engine and Transaxle Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

When lowering the engine, slightly move it to the left side of the vehicle to set the A/C compressor out of the way.
