How do you remove 1998 metro alternator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I just did this on my own van. The first thing to do is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Then remove the serpentine belt. You'll need a 15 mm wrench to do this. I put a peice of exhaust pipe over the wrench for extra leverage. Put the wrench on the tension pulley and pull back to loosen the belt. Slip the belt off of the alternator pulley and let it drop down out of the way. Next, take the top bolt off of the alternator and loosen the bottom one. This will allow you to tlit the alternator back. Then remove the plate that the upper alternator bolt attaches to. This will give you room to get at the nut on the backside of the lower alternator bolt. Remove this bolt and the alternator will be free. Remove the electrical connections and then you are ready to pull the alternator out. It is a very tight fit to pull the alternator out between the support bracket and the fender well but it can be done. Remove the windshield tray drip hose and pull it out of the way. Pull the alternator forward and jockey it around until it comes out. You may have to push in on the support bracket to get it to come out.

To put the new one in , do everything in reverse order. Have fun with the belt!!

How do you adjust the valves on the 3 cylinder Geo Metro?

Asked by Wiki User

well i just had to do that this last summer. u pretty much have to take off ur head . wich means you will need to have a new head gasket . but u have to take off ur cam. its only a 3 cylinder and its all easy to get to its just annoying but ur gonna need to take out the valves to replace the seals and make sure there seated corectly ur prolly going to want to replace the exaust valves also as they burn up . most likely u should have no problem with ur intake valves other than normal buildup but they all should be cleaned once cleaned and u make sure there seating smoothly the valve stem seal is what slips on the end of each valve. im pretty tired at the moment and my literacey and spelling is horrid. if this helps it helps but pretty much ur gonna need to buy at least a head gasket and id bet ur exaust valves could use replaceing also. as that can cause alot of blow by ..."smoke from exaust" anyways good luck

Most of the lighting on the rear of the Geo is housed inside the rear lense assembly. By removing the series of Phillips head screws that holdl the lense in place, you should be able to remove the lense and thereby access the lamps.

Who is better Boostmobile or metro pcs cell phone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

BoostMobile offers nationwide coverage as for MetroPCS they too offer coverage nationwide. I traveled to Puerto Rico with a Boost phone but had no coverage. I was told I would have to buy a phone from a Boost store in Puerto Rico in order to get service there. I now have MetroPCS and when I traveled to Puerto Rico I had coverage and web/messaging with no problems throughout the island and no extra fees. I traveled throughout the United States inland and had no problems with either phones unless the area had no access to a cell tower. Oh by the way my girl friend had Verizon and her plan charged her 69 cents per minute additional in Puerto Rico for calls and they stated she had unlimited web/messaging for no additional fee only thing her service did not work. She had to borrow my phone to text and send pictures plus to call for free. Many times when I did travel throughout the USA my metro worked and so did my boost. Both companies are good companies for the price you pay. A great thing about BoostMobile they have they have montly shrinkage. Which means every 6 months if you pay your bill on time they will lower your bill by $5.00, until the bill is $35.00. So from $50.00 bucks it can be lowered to $35.00 bucks for the same exact service. Saving you a good amount of cash.

How do you change brakes on a 1998 Chevy Metro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the front brakes put the car up on jack stands or you can do one wheel at a time with a regular jack. Remove the front wheels. There are 2 bolts on the back of the caliper holding it to the hub assembly. Remove those 2 bolts and the caliper will slide off from the side. Don't let the caliper hang by the brake hose. Try using a bungee cord or some wire and tie to any part of the car for support so it can hang without damaging the hose. If the rotor needs replacing that should slide freely right off the wheel studs at this point. Next you will need a C-clamp. Find a good access point on the caliper and place one edge of the clamp to the caliper and the other edge to the brake pad that is set in the piston. Compress the brake pad until it won't move inward anymore and then loosen and remove the C-clamp. Remove the old brake pads with a flat head screw driver. They are only held in by metal clips. Installation is the reverse procedure. You may want to spray the back of the new brake pads with an anti squealing compound and allow to dry before installing them. This will ensure nice quiet brakes. Also you will need to pump the brakes a few times when you first start the car until the brake pad feels normal again. It will be very loose because the calipers will still be compressed.

For the back brakes put the car on jack stands or you can do one wheel at a time. Remove the rear wheels. You will need to pull the drum off of the wheel assembly. This may requre some banging with a large hammer. I believe on the Geo there is one retaining screw that will be a real pain to get off with a regular screwdriver. You may want to purchase a power driver for this application so as not to strip the screw. One can be purchased at a good auto parts store for about $20.00. Make sure the emergency brake is not on or you will never get the drum off. Once the drum is removed there are 2 retaining springs on each brake pad that can be a pain to remove. You can try with a regular pair of pliers and push the spring in and turn it clockwise so that the retaining post can easily slide through the slot on the plate connected to the spring. They also sell a tool specifically made for this purpose. You will also need to disconnect the emergency brake cable which will be attached to only one of the brake pads at the bottom. You should be able to remove both pads at the same time. They will be connected together by a spring at the bottom and separated by a cylinder with a star wheel on it. You will want to turn the star wheel to close the distance between the pads. Take note of how the pieces are put together before removing everything because there are some pieces that are held in by other pieces and they may fall out while removing the pads. Installation is the reverse procedure. Once the new pads are on you will want to put the car in reverse and let it roll to the end of the drive way and then slam your brakes. This will set the cylinder with the star wheel so that you have the proper distance between the brake pads.

This job requires removing seven individual parts in the proper order and the use of special tools for removal and reseating of the replacement bearing and seal. It's probably not a job that should be taken on by anyone who needed to ask this question.

Which is the fuse for the radio and lighter in a 1996 Geo Metro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Look under the dash between steering column and driver's side door, you may have to lay on your back to see under the dash and take a flashlight, the fuses are marked around the outside of the box to tell you what they are for, and under the hood up next to the firewall on the driver's side is another set of important fuses, different type than under the dash, but take a look, they are also marked as to what they control.

Asked by Wiki User

Had the same problem. Looked up what the module was supposed to look like but could not find anything like it in the engine compartment. Looked it up in Haynes book and identified the wires. Ends up it was about the size and shape of your thumb and was wrapped up in the wire bundle just below the right hood hinge. Good luck.

How do you remove the crankshaft pulley in a 1993 Geo Metro LSi 3 Cylinder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a large metric bolt right (17 or 18mm) in the center of the main crank pulley. Immobilize the crank using a vise-grip equiped with a locking chain. Wrap an old fan belt (cut-to-size) around the crank and protect the serpentine gooves of the crank pulley, then wrap the vise chain and clamp onto the crank. Use a good breaker bar, or impact hammer to break the bolt torque free counter-clockwise. Note: Don't remove the four 10mm bolts on the crank pulley. The whole thing comes off as one assemble piece.

Where do you put transmission fluid in a 1996 Geo Metro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it is an automatic you will likely have to add fluid through the dipstick tube. This is a real pain because the diameter of the tube is quite small and overflows easily. You will need to buy a funnel where the size is very close to the inside diameter of the upper neck of the tube. It will still probably make a mess though. It helps alot if you heat up the fluid before adding it, lowering the viscosity keeps it from overflowing in the tube.

How do you replace the antenna on a 1997 Geo Metro which broke in the automated car wash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Looks like you'll have to remove the radio and just trace the lead back to the antenna. It either will have screws holding it in or a fitting around the base that has to be unscrewed. Check with Autozone or Advance for a replacement and see if your sales person will come out and look at it. They should be able to tell you how it comes out. I've always tied a strong piece of nylon string around the end of the old antenna lead before removing it. This way, you can tie it to the new lead and pull it back in the car. there are two screws on the outside of the car that screws the antenna to the car take them out and pull the wire out a little cut the wire then tape your new wire plug to the end of the old cut wire then carefully pull the wire through from the inside by pulling the old wire through and it will bring the new one to the radio

The main cause for bent valves is a failure in the timing chain or belt. When the valves and pistons are not exactly in sync, they can collide.

How do you replace clutch in a 1994 Geo Metro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You have to pull the engine and tranny out, separate the two, and do the clutch work. With a cherry picker or another way to lift the eng/tran it's really not that bad of a job. All of the electrical connectors will only mate up with the right counterpart, and all of the mechanical dissconnects are pretty easy. You will need ramps or GOOD solid jack stands to get to the motor mount electrical and other things you need to remove underneath before lifting the eng/tran out.

I would say most likely not. Even if you had the engine and transmission to go in the new car. There will be many modifications to make to make it work. Not to mention, the sensors and everything else most likely will be diiferent as well.

All cars manufactured in America (for certain) have VIN numbers on the engine, chassis and possibly other locations as well. This is for consumer protection mainly as the Chassis and Engine VIN should always match, unless the engine has been replaced with a rebuilt one.

Why would a 1996 Geo Metro have problems while accelerating and will not pick up speed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Um, because it's a Geo Metro??

Perhaps it is because of your large behind IN a Geo Metro?

Your catalytic converter may be getting stopped up too.

Try changing the fuel & oil filters.

Mine was doing the same thing last summer, the fuel & oil filters were both plugged.

----

Stop trying to drive up walls.

----

It could be a lot of things. It may be running too rich and bogging down(replace oxygen sensor). The camshaft lobes may be worn down and the valves aren't opening all the way(replace or regrind the cam). The catalytic converter or exhaust pipe could be clogged up with carbon. But keep in mind it is a Geo Metro, economy is the goal here, not performance...

I am having the same problem. Oil and fuel filters have been replaced and now will not accelerate at all. my mechanic says it is acting like an issue with the timing belt but the belt is fine and working properly. The computer diagnostics are fine as well. any ideas
