Bearing Pulley located external to the engine, Not the timing belt pulley, It is the serpintine belt adjusting pulley. I need advise on removing it for replacement.
Can I just romve the lock nut and lift it off or do I have to remove the adjusting screw to romove it ?

I already replaced ALL tires 3 times/ all rotors twice with all brakes twice and now 2 cracked wheels....along with 2 sensors
I see a tech bulletin #020001R....what does this mean to me and how do I find out if these wheels have any warrant to a recall?
If anyone can help.....
Thanks

My tires have been going low for quite some time.....NTB always took care of me and sanded down the corrosion on my chrome wheel...while doing this they found my first cracked wheel Sept 06....I replaced the wheel....in Oct 06...while on vacation...I came home to a completely flat tire....again NTB looked at my rims and once again sanded down the corrosion....which is was only 1 month prior..and found another cracked wheel......I called the dealership as well as Mazda...no luck at this point..
Any suggestion out there?
Thanks
Mazda won't replace cracked wheels unless you can convince the government to issue a recall on them. Fat chance of that, eh?
I have had my tires dismounted and sanded down.....I don't remember them ever putting a glue or sealant on them...I might have to check with them...because my tires are going low again and they just did it 3 weeks ago!!!
Thanks for your input
What do we do to get a recall on these crappy wheels?
What do we do to get a recall on these crappy wheels?
I would hope to get another 75k - 100k out out this car however am concerned about this being the begining of ongoing costly repairs. Does anyone have experience with a similar problem and have there been problems beyond the supercharger?
I have a 2000 S and had the supercharger go out at about 60000 miles. It was paid for with an extended warrantee I had bought when I got the car used at 25000. I don't usually get extended warrantees but I did this time for some reason and I'm glad I did.
the Supercharger was about $4,000 to replace including labor.
Now, is it going to go out in another 60000 or do they typically last much longer?
Maybe I should keep it another 50000 and get rid of it or take a chance and keep it.
tough decision.
I like the car though so I figure if it will buy me another 2 years or so it might be worth it...
On another note, can anyone confirm if the timing belt goes out it will not screw up the engine? It has been about 60k since my last replacement.
Also, can anyone point me to a good Atlanta Mazda shop? Any help is appreciated.

There were only two engines in the Millenia: a 2.3L Miller Cycle engine with a Lysolm compressor and a 2.5L normally aspirated engine. Both engines in the Millenia were only produced in Japan.
You cannot simply swap engines if you have one and would like the other.
with 109K and loving it. I haven't notice any degrade in engine performace - the spped of this car just amazing!
how much does it cost to fix the supercharge without timing belt?
they are very hard to come by these day.
Please if you had another fix to this let me know for the future.

Supercharger off and it would be like a bunch of hours
labor to fix the valve cover gaskets, I dunno. I have
thought now that maybe if you do have to take the supercharger off to fix them, why not replace the
supercharger too? I might be able to get a good deal
on a used one. Another question I have though, when
you people say your supercharger has "gone out" do
you mean it starts blowing oil into the engine (my
problem I think) or it just stops running totally?
Does the car run if it stops running?
Still looking for Atlanta Mazda shop also....
