1987 528e power window problem
We're going to make a couple of assumptions before continuing:
* The fuse for the windows has been checked and is OK.
* All windows stopped working at the same time and we can assume that both switches or both window motors are not faulty.
The first thing you want to do is test to see if the circuit-breaker switch is faulty which is usually down to the left by the kick panel (see photo below). Pull/pry the switch out of the panel and remove the harness plug. The plug should have just two wires in it (if not, do not perform this test, contact us for more info). Use a jumper wire to connect the two contacts in the harness plug (effectively jumpering the two wires together and mimicking the switch being closed). If the windows now work, the circuit-breaker switch is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the windows do not work, check or replace the power window relay (in the fuse-box - see photo below), If the windows still do not work, further diagnostics will need to be performed, using the vehicle wiring diagrams.

Need to replace my abs
The brakes should work normally without a functional ABS system. Most cars do.
ABS is really nice, but most cars did not have it until the mid-1990s, and we survived somehow.
If I were driving the car, I would not fix it on a car this old. If my wife were driving the car, I might fix it. She has a tendency to panic.
There are places that rebuild ABS units for much less than the cost of a new one. We sent the ABS from an S70 Volvo to a shop in LA, and it still works fine 7 years later.
I have a 1987 bmw 535is, I replaced the abs
normally abs system use two seperate module unit. each module control the front and rear whell by crossside like u said the front left and rear back are disfuntion. maybe ur replacement abs module have prob or trie 2 bled again
Brake rotor removal problem 2002 kia optima
i am assuming you are talking about drum brakes. and the drum is not coming off easily. as the drums wear they do not ride on the very outside which will cause a ridge to form and make it hard to remove them you just have to pry them off but pry evenly on two sides opposite of each other at the same time
Bad O2 sensor
If your car has lost several miles per gallon of fuel economy and the usual tune up steps do not improve it. This *is not* a pointer to O2 failure, it just brings up the possibility. Vacuum leaks and ignition problems are common fuel economy destroyers. As mentioned by others, the on board computer may also set one of several failure "codes". If the computer has issued a code pertaining to the O2 sensor, the sensor and it's wiring should be tested. Usually when the sensor is bad, the engine will show some loss of power, and will not seem to respond quickly
Removing rear rotors
On the rear wheels, the inside of the rotors act as a drum for the emergency brake shoes. You must loosen the emergency brake so that the shoes back away from the inside walls of the rotor. Loosen the emergency brake, left and right side, by loosening both nuts at the emergency brake handle. Further, the emergency brake's internal adjusting nuts are accessible through the lug holes in the hub. Then remove the rear rotors
