Hello, in this video you will see how to replace the wishbone on a Mazda 6. Start by removing the wheel on the affected side once it is raised on the ramp, to work more comfortably. Using a spanner, remove the bolt behind the brake discs.

Continue by removing the tie rod, and with the help of a hammer and chisel, tap on the pin that partially secures the wishbone with the tie rod, and slightly pull it out to better unscrew the pin. Once extracted, you can unscrew the central bolt of the tie rod to completely remove the wishbone.

Then take the new part to replace and reassemble everything.
