Should be able to find all the bolts to the inner fender panel and remove, then any holding fender to grill or bumper, then under hood bolts along top edge, then open door (carefully) and remove any bolts between door and fender, and may be one more at bottom rear of fender. Keep all shims and mark them to go back in same location, but be aware new part may not be identical to part removed, thus some further adjustment with shims may be needed. I often use masking tape on the edges of fenders and doors to help prevent chipping paint.
Door with all hardware glass/trim and all around 55-60 lbs Blank door no hardware 25-30 lbs Front clip bare without inner fenders and radiator support hood ,fenders,grill around 155-160 With radiator and support inner fenders i would add another 130-140 lbs give-r-take
Most of the time I adjust the doors all the way to the front, supporting the door with a hang strap or a jack with a protector on it. As you first close the door be carefull as the front fenders can be back a bit anf the door and the fender might hit. Most big builds the doors are fitted with the front fenders off and them after the doors aree fitted. ( putting paper in the weather stip and setting the drag of the paper and them the fenders are fitted to match the doors them the hood is fitted to match the fenders, some times the fenders need adjusted some to fit the hood squarely.)
no the gas tank has nothing to do with it ..first thing is that the two rear fenders and rear bumper cover are bolted together and must be removed as a unit. First thing remove the inner fenders on both of the rear tires then look up and remove the T30 torq bolts and 10mm nuts on bottom the brake light housings must be removed from inside of the trunk there are 2 covers in the corners pop them out and ther will be a plastic knob remove taking care not to drop them then pop out lights with a small flat tip screwdriver unplug lights then take loose the gas door screw and remove clip holding the latch then pull out latch taking care to not break it. then remove all the screws on the outside under the rear deck lid T30 torq .gently pull on fenders and pull off the rear fender/bumper cover assembly taking care to not pull out oo far then take off 8mm nuts from heat shield on left backup lamp and unplug lights ..there u go the all u have to do is unblot the fenders and ur good to go
not the shock absorbers but the rear springs are weak ,you will need to renew the springs ,shockers cannot lift a car up higher only the springs can do this
Aluminium. As far as I know the only part of the outer bodywork that is not aluminium is the hood and the foremost roof pillars which are brushed steel.
You should get another person to help you, but it is very easy. Just have your helper on one side of the hood and remove the bolts that hold the hood to the support brackets on each side. Careful the hood does not slide down and damage the paint!
Re-installing should be simple also. I do not think there are adjustments. Just put the bolts in and carefully close the hood to be sure it lines up before slamming it shut.
Again, be careful it does not hit the fenders when installing.
i am not really sure but for the most part its under the hood just inside one of the fenders but i would like to give you this number they only sells GM- parts its Schram auto & truck parts # 1-800-292-1032
