Remove the wheel and the brake caliper. Remove the two 18mm bolts that hold the brake caliper bracket, and remove it and the rotor. Remove the small bolt that holds the antilock brake sensor and remove the sensor. Remove the 32mm axle nut. The nut may be hard to remove but it is right hand thread. You can remove the two 18mm bolts from the bottom of the strut and swing the whole wheel bearing assembly out just barely far enough to remove the axle without removing the lower ball joint. The axle is splined in the wheel bearing assembly and you can knock it out with a block of hard wood and a hammer. Reach back along the axle with a long extension and remove the two nuts holding the axle carrier bearing. Be careful not to let the axle fall down and damage the axle seal in the transmission. The axle should slide easily out of the transmission and only a tiny bit of fluid will leak out. Hope this helps. Good luck.
passenger front right side panel remove panel and the switch should be there
Drain plug for the radiator for Mazda Tribute 2001 is located on the right side bottom of the radiator. You'll need to remove the right side mud guard to be able to access it.
Just try opening your door to get out and it will probably pop right off into your hand! That's what happened to me this morning. 2001 Mazda Tribute LX V6 piece of JUNK!

On the 2002 V6 it is near the front of the vehicle closer to the passenger side. Look to the right and behind the screw where you drain the oil and up into the crevasse.
Just behind the right corner of the front bumper. You have to remove the black cover under the car to see it. Mazda hide it pretty well.
Just to the right of the hood release on backside of plastic covering
I have a Mazda 2001 Tribute and I just replaced the Idle Air Control Valve (IAC). I searched for Idle Speed Control actuator and there does not appear to be one. The IAC is the silver module right on top of the manifold.
Well I had a 1995 Protege but I think is on the same place. It's beehint the right corner of the front cover. You have to remove the black cover under the car to see it. Mazda hide pretty well.
Not an easy job . Jack up an support front end of car . Remove right side front tire . Remove plastic covers , belt , three bolts , and wires. That was the easy part , trust me , next comes the "Not easy part ". Removing Alternator . I did it through the top , yes it can be done . Took me just over an hour . A second pair of hands will help greatly , and keep the swearing in check . Work the new alternator in and pat your self on the back ! This is a weekend job !!!
