Rounded off the Steering Rack Pinion Preload Bolt!
So I ended up rounding off the bolt shown in the pic after attempting to remove it so I could remove the pinion from the rack. Ended up getting it out using a bolt extractor but it's buggered up pretty good now. Anyway, I'd like to replace it so does anyone know the part # to search for? Or does anyone have one that isn't fubar that they want to sell?
Note to self... don't get frustrated and use an impact wrench on this bolt ever again.

Yep. Just that there was so much rust on it that it didn't matter. I should have used heat and let it sit w/ penetrating oil for longer but I got impatient and went for the rattle gun. Shame on me I guess.

NA02-32-129 is the nut
NA02-32-131 is the lock nut
I can't seem to find them anywhere, Mazda Canada (I'm in canada) has discontinued it. Jim Ellis mazda has it but doesn't ship to Canada it seems.

I'm only replying as I'm currently looking for that exact part, for that exact reason, because I did the exact same thing....
