Thanks man!
I made a bit more progress this past saturday, but forgot the camera. All suspension, hubs, brakes, everything, are all off the front end. The rear end is 4 bolts from being out. Unfortunately, those four bolts are being whores. Two are completely fused (the ones that go through both control arms and the hub), and the other two are running into the gas tank when i try to take them out.
I'm going to call mazda today and see if i can get new bolts. If so, i'm going to cut it all out, then probably buy a 20ton shop press to press the bolts out of the hubs, since i can't find new rear hub knuckle/spindle assemblies.
Dropping off all the new arms at Prokote tomorrow for powdercoating, so if all goes well, re-assembly will officially start this coming weekend. At that point... i'm two weekends away from firing her.
