    While the Mazda service manual is very useful, it is noticeably
lacking in "tricks" (e.g., use string to remove the eyeball vents from
the dash).  I think it's well worth owning, but it still leaves a lot
unsaid.

          I found using string to remove the eyeball vents a very
          difficult procedure.  In fact, I spent too much time trying
          (unsuccessfully) to get the stupid string through the holes.
           I ended up using needle nose pliers.  Put a cloth over the
          vent to prevent leaving a mark, use the pliers to grab
          the center point of the vent, and pull.  It pops out nicely
          and without the frustration of that limp string.
