If you do a search, you will find a recent thread that had both links (separate for each side). Wil (Gro Harlem) has one for the passenger side on his site, and Darryl (Mazdaspeedwest) has one for the driver's side. Darryl would have one for the passenger side, but he didn't have access to a digicam when we (he and I) replaced it a few months ago. When you know what you're doing and have the right tools (a GOOD impact wrench is number one), it only takes an hour or two.
And most FWD cars only go about 100k on axles. The boots on our cars are the weak points, but 100k is at least average (if not better than) for a small and powerful fwd car. Another friend needs to replace his passenger side axle at 150k. The drivers side is still going strong (although we'll probably change it too, while we're working on it).

I found the old service record. Here's some of what it said
"Removed auto trans to be able to get broken st ub axle out, found roll pin wedged in splines, causing axle to be seized in diferential splines, reinstalled transaxle and road tested."
"Aftermarket axle seized in diff needs trans removed to get broken axle out."

I did however replace the outer boot on it as the original was starting to tear. I even got away with using the infamous 'split boot' design!!!(ordered it through Mazda) That was 60K(?) ago...
