HOW DO WE REPLACE THE REAR WHEEL SEALS ON THIS MAZDA? THEY ARE LEAKING REALLY BAD AND WE DONT KNOW IF WE HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE WHEEL BEARING OR ALL THE OTHER THISNGS LIKE THE BALL JOINTS?

Separate the axles from the wheel bearing by removing the large nut on the end and all the suspension components attached to the rear knuckle. If you can't separate the ball joint then disconnect the link from the other end. Then you'll be able to pry the axle out of the differential to replace the seals. I would recommend having a alignment done after all repairs have been made. Let me know if you have any more questions.
