I have an 1986 olds cutlass supreme. I need to install the rear window molding trim that goes just over the trunk lid (side trim and roof trim are already installed with clips). Do i need special clips to hold it down? How do I install this rear window trim part?

Yes you need the correct clips and it's real hard to install the bottom rail if the top and side rails are already on since the sides go over the bottom and the top goes over the sides to keep it from leaking.

SOURCE: how do I remove rear brake pads on 94 olds cutlass

Please don't forget to rate! This helps us help you!

1993–96 Vehicles

  1. Remove about 2⁄3 of the brake fluid from the reservoir with a clean syringe or baster type utensil.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  3. Matchmark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
  4. Reinstall two lug nuts to retain the rotor.
  5. Unfasten the bolt and washer attaching the cable support bracket to the caliper body assembly. It is not necessary to disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever or disconnect the brake hose unless the caliper is to be completely removed from the vehicle. Freeing the cable support bracket allows enough flexibility in the cable to pivot the caliper up and down and remove the shoe and lining.
  6. Remove the sleeve bolt.
  7. Pivot the caliper body assembly up. Do not completely remove the caliper assembly body.
  8. Remove the outboard and inboard shoe and linings (pads) from the caliper support.
  9. Remove the two pad clips from the caliper support. To install:
  10. Bottom the piston assembly into the caliper bore. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slot to turn the piston assembly and thread it into the caliper body assembly.
  11. After bottoming the piston, lift the inner edge of the boot next to the piston assembly and press out any trapped air. The boot must lie flat. Make sure the slots in the end of the piston are positioned correctly before pivoting the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining in the caliper support. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slots to turn the piston as necessary. NOTE: Whenever installing new pads, install new pad clips. These should be provided in the disc pad kit.
  12. Install the two pad clips in the caliper support.
  13. Install the outboard and inboard shoe and lining in the caliper support. The wear sensor is on the outboard pad. The sensor is positioned downward at the leading edge of the rotor during forward wheel rotation. Hold the metal shoe edge against the spring end of the clips in the caliper support. Push the shoe in toward the hub, bending the spring ends slightly, and engage the shoe notches with the support abutments.
  14. Pivot the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining assembly. Be careful not to damage the piston boot on the inboard. Compress the sleeve boot by hand as the caliper body moves into position to prevent boot damage.
  15. After the caliper body is in position, recheck the installation of the pad clips. If necessary, use a small prytool to re-seat or center the pad clips on the support abutments.
  16. Install the sleeve bolt and tighten to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
  17. Install the cable support bracket (with the cable attached) with the bolt and washer. Tighten the bolt to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm).
  18. Remove the two lug nuts retaining the rotor.
  19. Install the wheel and tire assembly, aligning the marks made during removal.
  20. Carefully lower the vehicle, then firmly depress the brake pedal 3 times to seat the pads against the rotors.

SOURCE: I need to know how to put rear struts on a 96 olds

I just had to do this to my cutlass supreme. It is fairly easy. First, you need to jack the car up in the rear (but dont forget to put wheel chocks in front of the front wheels to prevent any chance of rolling, and break all of the lug nuts loose while the car is still on the ground, and put jack stands under it to keep the car raised safely) and remove the rear wheels. Then look at where the strut mounts to the wheel, there are two bolts holding it on the wheel assembly; remove those (you may need to jack ut the suspension to remove the bolts). Now locate the two smaller bolts to each side of the the strut itself on the strut mount, holding it to the car (this is located at the very top of the wheel well) and remove them. Now u can compress the strut by hand and wiggle it free from the car. Once u have the old strut out, remove the large nut that is securing the strut to the mount. In some cases this is impossible to do due to the rust that has binded them together. If this happens, you will need to purchase a new strut mount for your new strut. AutoZone seems to be the cheepest place for parts. To install the new struts just do everything backwards. When the new struts are installed, the wheels may be slanted down. If this is the case, do not worry, they just need time to "relax" or be broken in. I hope everything goes smoothly and i wish you luck.

SOURCE: need to change fuel filter on 1986 cutlass supreme

You'll find it in the carburator. Unhook the fuel feed line from the front of the carb and undo the large nut directly where the fuel line connects to. The filter is there.Pay attention to how the filter comes out and put the new one back in the same way. Hope this helps.

I have a 1999 chevy blazer I cannot close the

The sunroof is powered by the same circuit breaker that power's your power window, so if your windows work than the circuit breaker should be good. You needed test the switch to verify if works with; on the factory sunroof system the roof is controled by a sunroof module the module receives a signal from the switch then throws voltage to the sunroof motor. The motor and module are located between the sunroof assembly and windshield underneath the head liner. You would reconnected the switch and test to see if the sunroof motor is getting power when the switch is in use by testing the dark green wire when closing and a light green wire when opening. Test these wires at the sunroof motor with a ohm meter or test light. Also, check this procedure to repair...

There is a water leak somewhere in my 98 toyota camry that leaks into my passenger side floor. There is no sun roof and no visible leaks from the windows or doors. Any thoughts? A/C leak maybe? water...

I am the original owner of camry xle 1998 with wet floors. In 2000 I had drivers side door seal leaking at welt. Removed old door seal and new weather strip on drivers side installed. The door panel was never wet, but wet at bottom of door where there are drain holes...slowly leaking under carpet.
In 2001 later water again. Coming from overflowing A/C evaporator-drain plugged/ tank full of debris. Removed evaporator, cleaned + drain cleaned.
In 2003, driver door seal against window rotted. Removed door panel and found leak at window belt molding at the mirror joint inside + out. Lots of mold under carpet needed to replace! Made a fuss at dealers for reacurring problem and they replaced the carpet for free.
