54mm Impact Socket (To loose the big *** Flywheel nut, I cant even find a shop who sells these)
Pilot Bearing Puller that WORKS ! (The one I got from Autozone doesnt fit, and I have a hard time finding one that fits into our tiny little pilot bearing)

a website to get it will be great. Thanks

Totally forgot about Amazon. Thx for the tip

Hmm, but Im thinking, should I get the 1/2" - 1-1/2" pilot bearing puller. or Blind hole puller works better ?

Searched the net, some said pilot bearing puller works fine, some said blind hole puller works better. Thinking.

Go to Mazdatrix ( http://www.mazdatrix.com/8flywheel.htm ) for your tool. It's listed at the bottom of the page.

you can get the socket at sears or lowes. I would try sears first though

I've been to Sears today, they dont carry such big socket (54mm), well, at least my sears dont carry that. Been to home depot, nothing. Lowes is too far away from my home.

Im thinking should I get the Mazda's tool ....

I actually have one that is designed as a 10/1 gear reduction unit. That is due to the amount of torque that is required to install/remove that nut. I bought it back around 1990 and don't remember where it came from.

The socket is the same as a 2-1/8 inch.
Quick and dirty way is to find a metal rod that fits snuggly in the bearing hole, pack the area behind the bearing with grease then use the rod and a hammer to push the bearing out.
I have used this method on everthing from a RX7 to a Peterbuilt truck.

I know is the same size, but just call it 54mm for unknown reason -_-

I guess I will get the impact socket at Amazon, then gonna get both Mazda tools from forum vendor. (waiting for reply)
