How do you replace the front side speakers and the side door speakers in a 2003 Toyota Echo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have just replaced the door and dash speakers on a 2001 Toyota Echo and it wasn't an easy task. You have to remove the screws in the door panel and the C-clip from the window crank. Following, pull from the bottom of the door to release several snaps, and finally remove the door panel by pulling upwards.

The real pain about these door speakers is that the factory speakers are custom built into a plastic bracket which is attached with rivets. These can be drilled out to remove the factory speaker. Another headache is that due to window clearance, you only have two options when mounting new speakers. Option 1) buy slim-type speakers. After talking with a Crutchfield representative, it was determined that there is only 1.6" of clearance between the door panel and window when completely down.

The other pain is that the window curves and when completely rolled down, such that the top of the speaker hole is deeper than the bottom of the speaker hole.

Option 2) Buy any speaker and fabricate risers to make fit. This is the route I chose as I already had 6 & 3/4" for the doors. I fabricated four risers for each speaker out of half inch PVC pipe, each with its own custom height, to allow enough clearance for the window. After, I drilled new speaker holes and mounted with 2" #8 metal screws.

I have several detailed drawings of my install if you are interested.. please let me know...

hope this helps

What kind of a damage results to the engine when overheats It lost coolant and was totally empty and engine overheated and now it is running weird If still runs. can it be repaired?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When an engine overheats and loses coolant, it can lead to serious damage to various components. Overheating can cause the engine to operate outside its optimal temperature range, which can result in the following issues:

  1. **Warped Cylinder Head or Engine Block:** Overheating can cause the metal components of the engine, such as the cylinder head and engine block, to warp. This can lead to leaks, reduced compression, and other problems.

  2. **Blown Head Gasket:** Overheating puts a tremendous amount of stress on the head gasket, which seals the gap between the engine block and the cylinder head. A blown head gasket can result in coolant and oil mixing, leading to further engine damage.

  3. **Damage to Pistons and Rings:** High temperatures can cause pistons to expand, leading to scoring or scuffing of cylinder walls. This can result in reduced compression and increased oil consumption.

  4. **Damage to Bearings:** Overheating can cause damage to engine bearings, affecting the lubrication system's effectiveness. This can lead to increased friction and wear on moving parts.

  5. **Coolant System Damage:** Overheating can damage various components of the cooling system, including the radiator, water pump, and hoses.

If your engine is running weird after overheating and losing coolant, it's crucial to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Continuing to drive with an overheated engine can exacerbate the damage and lead to more severe issues. The specific repairs needed will depend on the extent of the damage, but it may involve replacing gaskets, machining or replacing components, and addressing any issues with the cooling system.

In some cases, severe engine damage may require an engine rebuild or replacement. It's important to address overheating issues promptly to minimize the risk of long-term damage. Always consult with a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and an accurate assessment of the damage to determine the best course of action.

Asked by Wiki User

Hate to tell you this, but you have to take the steering column apart. under the horn there's a bolt, but you need a special tool to put it back on... took me about a day and a half to fix it up on mine and now it just needs fixing again... so I just bought a club and hoped nobody found out it wouldn't lock.

How can you siphon the gas out of your 2002 cavalier to replace the fuel pump?

In order to siphon gas from a 2001 suburban, you will just need a hose pipe and a can. Place the hose pipe into the fuel tank and suck with your mouth and direct that end to the can. This is rather dangerous as it may cause various hazards.

How do you replace a fuel pump in a 1991 Chevy Cavalier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank as with virtually all cars nowadays. There is a certain degree of danger working on or around a fuel tank. But, if you want to do this yourself, You will need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

or you can go to www.auotzone.com and go to repair manuals and it will show you exacly what to do and you can print it if you need to
