Cool! I'm waiting for a video on how to remove the second and third row of silentblocks. The first shot (from the front) is straight. Third the row (rear, replacement febest mzab-135) looks difficult.
I'm in the middle of another Mazda 6 job now - clutch, flywheel, front suspension, etc. There will be videos. Among the other things, I pulled the subframe again and replaced again only front row bushings. I checked the second and third row, and they were okay, not perfect, but would work for another 30-50k for sure. The reason why I decided not to replace them was because I already replaced the front row before. It was Febest, and after 30k km, both bushings were very bad. The third row is hard indeed. There are kinda covers on top of the bushings, and they are welded there (seems like), or clamped. The middle ones looked similar to the front row. Seems Febest is the only after market, but quality is very average (bad). I would recommend to replace only in case if the original ones are really bad.
