Questions on suspension parts

MMR bearings do in fact retain factory toe adjustment. they supply a block off plate for the cam, but you can just reuse the OEM cambolt and adjuster plate thingy. i have them in my car.
the design is def better than mazdatrix/AWR (whoever) bearings, which require welding. MMR's use a retaining clip. just try not to get angry when your shit doesnt show up for 2 months lol

and while your subframe is out you might as well do its bushings. either mazdacomp or delrin. subframe bushings dont really add too much NVH, so i dont see a reason not to just do delrin.

dtss is easy. use a 2 jaw puller and find a socket thats the right size to press the bushing in/out. word of warning tho, be careful how you place the puller on the hiub. its all aluminum, so if the jaw is barely hanging on to an edge, it can break off. not really a big deal, just makes it harder to position the puller in a way that works.
or use a press i guess..

removing the axle nut is pretty easy. just have someone stand on the brake, and use a breaker bar with a pipe on it.

Alright well I went ahead and placed on order for the MMR bearings. I also have the Mazdacomp front differential mount, subframe mounts and differential stop washers on order. Hopefully everything won't take 2 months to arrive because I'd like to get all these things installed and get the car aligned before the NASA season starts out here.
