If you can just get the old solenoid out (cut it out or cut the frozen nuts off) you could zip tie the new one in place. It's never easy!

Hello walks, If you're trying to get the vent solenoid out, there's a hole in the jacking plate you can put a socket extension through, and I got the second nut off with a socket swivel. I also tried to get that jacking plate off but gave up. I think I got one of the bolts out and there was no...

Late to reply but look up how to do the fluid flush by removing the hose off the cooler method. I think you need 8 or 9 quarts but you get almost all the dirty fluid out. I use the Mazda M-V and got it from tascaparts last time.

I agree that it sounds like battery.

Good grief, do drive that car off-road or something?

Hey guys, In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I found on the 2012 Mazda 5. Small evap leak P0442 can be several different things starting with a loose fuel cap. In my case, it turned out to be the canister vent solenoid which is located at the rear of the car, directly above the...

I give the pad thickness a look every time I rotate the tires which is 7500 miles. The also get checked annually during state inspection. Still have the original pads at 108k. I'm planning on replacing them in about a month when it warms up a bit here.
