Model: Mazda 6 GG, MK 1 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to remove Mazda 6 car shock absorbers

This video shows us how to remove a Mazda front shock absorber. Let's see carefully how to do it. The first step to perform: we loosen the pins of the rim, lift the car on a column bridge and take off the wheel. We spray the shock absorber with some release agent, then with a screwdriver we go to unscrew the screws of the internal plastic wheel mudguard. Now we unscrew the locking pins of the oil pipes, the pin of the vertical arm. If the pin does not come off, we intervene with a hammer and release. Now we lower the bridge and unscrew the pins on the side in the engine compartment and remove the shock absorber from its housing and compare it with the new one, insert the shock absorber in its housing and first go to tighten all the pins in the upper part in the engine compartment and then staring at the bottom. We screw the vertical arm with the wheel hub and with the shock absorber. We tighten all pins securely with our key. We reassemble all the oil pipes and the internal wheel mudguard removed previously. Finally we reassemble the circle with the respective pins.
