Locknut (adjusting cover), Adjusting Cover Disassembly 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.
  1. Remove the locknut (adjusting cover) from the gear housing using the SST. 
    CAUTION:
    • If a tool is installed to the SST (49 E032 308), install the tool so that it is perpendicular to the SST as shown in the figure. If the tool is not installed as instructed, the SST can separate from the locknut easily which could cause damage to the locknut while doing the work.
  2. Remove the adjusting cover from the gear housing
