Hello Rodrigo, Thank you for the question - the rotor removal is a simple job on the Seville. I will give you the complete procedure. Raise and support the vehicle.Remove the rear tires, unbolt the caliper from the bracket, unbolt the bracket from the spindle and clean and grease all slide plates and slide pins using synthetic caliper grease insuring the new brake pads will slide properly in the clean slide plates, remove old rotors from hub assembly, clean machining oil from braking surfaces of new rotors and install them on the hub assembly, reinstall both brackets on spindles and tighten bolts, using a "c" clamp press the piston back inside both calipers and reinstall both calipers on both brackets and tighten bolts, reinstall tires... torque all lug nuts to 100 ft lbs and place vehicle back on pavement. DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. sit in drivers seat and press the brake pedal to the floor several times until the brake pedal feels secure under your foot you are now ready to drive... happy motoring If the rotor is stuck, smack it with a dead blow, or soft faced hammer--- it will free upAfter it is loose, pull it straight off of the wheel studs.

check the idle air control

Hello: You will have to service the system (add freon) and clear the code so the compressor will come on. If you keep adding freon without repairing the leak you will run the system out of oil and ruin the compressor.

Your looking at 1500.00+ . Maybe more since you own a cadillac.

If the car was retro fitted with R134a this was a common problem. There was a low side pressure sensor that needs to be changed. R134a runs different pressures than the r12.. When you go down the road the condenser cools off the system and the pressure drops below the minimum pressure. You need to make sure that the system is fully charged, not just cold to the feel. Both pipes coming out of the firewall need to be the same temp. this makes sure that the evaporator is flooded.
I hope this helped. Re-post if you need more info. Have a nice day and good luck.

It could cost anywhere from 500-1600 dollars to fix this.... I'm very sorry that your head gasket blew. That is a very pricey job. I sure hope this helps, James Booth

hi.
the varnish smell you describe is classic for stale petrol.

change that first, as long as there is a spark and good petrol, the engine should run.

run the car gently up to normal running temperature, then shut off and restart when cool.
there will be a few things sticking slightly, but they will probably free off when the engine warms up and the oil circulates properly

There is a block behind the washer bottle on the left under the hood and another block in the trunk on the left side.

I had the same problem this week and every way I put the belt on ,it was 6 inches too long. If you have an Autozone store close, they will print you the proper belt install. Not sure about any other parts store ,but worth a shot. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out and even though had to drive to parts store, it saved a lot of frustration. let me know if that helps

I am really in dire need of a belt diagram

I could explain it here BUT the easier way would be for you to take a trip to your local public library. They have TONS of books on "HOW TO" do this job. It isn't that tough and doesn't require any special tools, just a set of metric wrenches. Tag your wires or draw a picture BEFORE you take things apart.
Good Luck.

Leaking heater core. You will have to remove and replace the heater core. I recommend the Haynes or Chilton's repair manual for this task.

The starter is located on the top of then engine under the intake manifold. The intake must be removed to access the starter.

This message is alerting the driver of a suspension problem. These cars have active shock absorbers that react to road surface by electronic sensors in the shocks.This system is complex and requires the assistance of a trained mechanic. Bring your vehicle to a mechanic shop to have it checked. hope this helps
