go to advance auto parts and have them order you a manual on this one,those aren't hard to work on but there a whole lot different,get a good manual like a Haynes and it will help you a lot on doing this one,good luck with it.

*** STOP!! ***
Replacing the apex seals in a rotary engine is a major operation and should be left up to the professionals. If you attempt this without years of background experience in automotive mechanical repair then you will end up with a big pile of useless parts.

I worked at a Mazda dealer, they never rebuilt a single rotary, they just replaced the whole motor.

I wouldn't bother. Usually when you break them down you find that the side housings are shot. On average you need 5-6 donor motors to have enough good parts to put one good one back together.

Google your car make and engine size. If no results, reverse it. That's how I found an engine for a Datsun 240Z.
