Unless you have the most nimble hands in the world - no. You have to remove the seat to get to the motor which is under the seat cushion. No more than 4 bolts. The only tricky bit: If your seat has an air bag: Disconnect the negative battery lead, wait 1 - 5 minutes and then disconnect the air...

Just completed trailer hitch wiring this weekend. The T-connector is slick - just click factory style connectors in line with the lights. But, did not want to run a power wire to the battery. My preference for getting power to the trailer light module is to tap the accessory outlet on the right...

Why are you worried or even considering a service to remove carbon build up? Just a guess re: cost of service, but given the amount of time to remove the intake and do the cleaning: ~$500 I like a clean and leak free engine as much as anyone. But once you start disassembling the engine expect to...

I'm wondering if you followed the reset maintenance monitor procedure with the engine running. I think the ignition switch needs to be in the on position with the engine off. So, without pressing on the brake just hit the ignition button twice (from "off" hit once to get "acc" position, then...

Personally I'm a fan of akebono ceramic pads - but since those are likely OEM manufacturer - and in your opinion OEM sucks then you might want to try the Centric posi-quiet pro ceramic or Raybestos Element 3 hybrid pads. Both are good quality and promise a bit more of stopping power compared to...

My thoughts exactly: the cold weather is just coincidence. You have some other issue with your suspension. Have a trusted shop at least take a look and give you some advice.

Weird: In all the tire pressure checks you didn't find a low tire pressure?

Just for reference: MX-5 (2006-8 5 lug): center bore = 67.1mm; lug spacing = 5x114mm; offset = 55mm (or 48mm for the 7.5in wide rims) CX-5: center bore = 67.1mm; lug spacing = 5x114mm; offset = 45mm The MX-5 wheels should work great with the right tires - no hub centric rings required

The MX-5 WHEEL has more than enough load rating for the CX-5. Not true for the MX-5 tire - which is too small and rated for the load of the smaller and lighter Miata. The required CX-5 tire (it will provide the required load rating) for a 17" wheel is either: 225/65/17 or somewhat less ideal...

Zeroman: Thanks for the update. Do you have a TSB reference? To my Russian, Canadian and Northern US friends: If you are experiencing this problem go to your dealer and request new rear engine mount: kn3l-39-040 (Zeroman reported this is the revised part in another thread). Hopefully this ends...

Your experience with the Nokian WRs was terrible. But, that was not my experience with 3 sets of Nokian WR series tires on 3 different vehicles over a number of years. My experience with these tires is with sedans - not the SUV version. So, maybe the SUV version is just not the same. Living in a...

Confession: I have not done this. However, this is what I would try - using the gates 91030 tool without the bolt - or possibly modify the Lisle 59370 or the Drake Off Road 17230 by grinding off the "remove" portion so the tool will fit behind the water pump pulley: Put the stretch belt on the...

Somewhere near the original post was a question about floor mats for the CX-5. Adding to that info: - confirming that 2019 models will use 2017-2018 floor mats - all shared the same floor - Med Center Mazda parts is a great place - offering free ship for orders >$100 so floor mats from them are...
