What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

Those cv shafts should just pop rite out the trans with a pry bar. Then you need to undo it from the hub. Then once off you must release the retainer that holds the cup to the shaft in order to replace the boot. Then reverse to put it all back. I hope that helps a little

More info than I had this morning, thanks!

I tend to grumble, but it is interesting to learn about new-to-me technology.

Does the p/s axle disconnect from the intermediate shaft (and the intermediate shaft from the diff) in the same way?

After stripping the clear coat that the Rustoleum peel coat did not pick up. I painted my wheels gold with VHT wheel paint. Center caps are black. Then I will replace lugs with black lugs.

Hey that looks great! I was thinking of painting my 97 Eclipse wheels this color with vht as all my engine stuff is gold as well but wasn't sure how it would look dry. Thanks for the pics and good job on them!
