WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Insert the drive shaft into the wheel hub.
  2. Apply ATF to the oil seal lip.
  3. Push the drive shaft into the transaxle.
    CAUTION:
    • The sharp edges of the drive shaft can slice or puncture the oil seal. Be careful when installing the drive shaft to the transaxle.
    • The oil seals are damaged easily if this procedure is not done correctly.
  4. After installation, pull the transaxle side outer ring forward to confirm that the drive shaft is securely held by the clip.
