I got my rebuild kit from Atkins, I strongly recommend them. They supply OEM gaskets and seals, not inferior aftermarket gaskets. Plus, their kit is a good deal cheaper, not sure how, but it is, and includes EVERYTHING, down to the little o-ring no kit has.

the kit you can get with the site they mentioned. for me personally i choose mazdatrix oem seals then get the gaskets and o rings from atkins. you can get the rebuild video from atkins or mazdatrix. really the only important part is measuring.

^Feeler gauges, get a good set that can at least measure 15 thousandths and larger.

yea, a micrometer for the housings, dial indicator for the e shaft and irons and a feeler gauge for everything else. the harbor freight micrometers are pretty accurate if you get the digital one that has the zero out feature.

im a nerd so i measure everything including the old apex seals...
