Best Answer

The entire taillight comes off as an assembly, and is not designed to be taken apart.

To change a light bulb:

1. Inside the trunk look on the back side of the taillight near the quarter panel. There will be 3 nuts, the center nut holds the taillight assembly in place, remove that nut.

2. Pull the assembly rearward enough to bring the stud out from the header panel, then pull the tab out of the license plate light assembly.

3. Remove the socket that needs a new bulb and replace the bulb, then slide the taillight assembly back in place and put the nut back on.

How does water pump pulley come off a 89 celeberty 2.5?

A special puller is required to remove the water pump pulley from a 1989 Celebrity. The tool can be "borrowed" from Autozone on their "loner tool program". The same tool kit contains another tool to press the pulley back on. I did the job on my 1989 Celebrity with 2.5L, it was not difficult with the tool.

How do you remove the rear taillight on a 1988 Chevrolet celebrity?

To remove the tail light assembly on a 1987 to 1989 Chevy Celebrity: On the inside of the trunk next to the quarter panel look for the nuts that hold the rear header to the body. Remove the middle nut, which will be in the center of the tail light assembly. the assembly will then pull outward. When the stud clears then pull to the outside of the car to release the tab from the back up light assembly. If you remove a nut but the tail light assembly did not budge then you probably removed the wrong nut. I like to replace the original nut with a wing nut. That makes future removal easier.
