The ones that are on the car now just don't move enough air. The slimline on my car seems like it moves twice as much air, and this car sits and slowly gets hotter and hotter and then when your cruising it cools down. Im almost positive these are not moving enough air.....

I leave mine bolted in the car and use a 3ft extension with a socket on the end, and beat the b**** till she lets go.
How are you breaking these axles?

by giving it gas.. i dont do lauches but the car does break loose in 1st a lot and every once in awhile 2nd gear.
Edit: ill have to mess with it when i get off work today
Edit #2 - sorry probe i wasn't trying to be a dick but simply I keep breaking them due A piss poor build quaility of the parts from napa or the power of the car. I'm leaning more towards build quaility as I still have the original driver side axle without issue.

I broke my passenger axle... I initially thought it was the LSD and went ahead and ordered one, then when I was getting ready to install it, realized that the inboard joint was just broken in the boot...
Took the MSP to my local Mazda dealer to get the stock rear mm back in there. Service manager said 1 hour labor. OK. Tech looks at the car and says he needs at least 3 hours to do it. Morons.
Did test drive the new Speed3, that little fucker is quick.

No idea even what I have in mine. Bought the car with 103k and have no idea if its the original one or not. If it breaks I'll buy the mfactory but I would rather it not brake. Lol.
