There are 3 Nuts inside the Engine Compartment, There is one Bolt on the Lower Arm and you have to remove the ABS and Torsion Rod. You need a Spring Compressor to do this job.

    Thanks Todd, I was hoping to get away with out using a spring compressor, that just made this even more interesting to do.

you need to take it to your local dealer and raise a big fuss because this is a known problem and if you yell loud enough you should be able to get this fixed under warranty.

They're charging you for it? Since your car's only 2 years old, they should be covering it under warranty. Timing Chains don't break normally, and when they do, usually it's on a much older car. Mazda should be covering the costs for this under the power train warranty (which is good for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first)

SOURCE: How do I change the bulb in the low beam headlight

Removing the bulb in a CX7 is a real PITA. If replacing the right bulb, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, or do the opposite for the left side. (or you can opt to remove the entire wheel on the corresponding side) You'll need to remove 3-4 of the fender well clips with a phillips screwdriver being careful not to break them. Once the screws are removed, pry back the wheel well cover to access the back of the headlamp to change the bulb.

Replace outer front door handle Mazda cx7 2010 model

Hey, I just use a metal zipstrip. Cheap and easy. Look on youtube for Prizm handle replacement. You basically slip it under the current handle and slip it in the zip buckle to make a loop. It's ghetto but works and does not use duct tape unlike most Red Green type "solutons".
