WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply differential oil to the differential oil seal lip.
    CAUTION:
    • The sharp edges of the rear drive shaft can slice or puncture the oil seal. Be careful not to damage the oil seal when installing the rear drive shaft from the rear differential.
  2. Insert the rear drive shaft into the rear differential with the clip opening facing upward.
  3. After installation, verify that the rear drive shaft is securely held by the clip by pulling the outer ring on the differential side towards the axle.
