How to replace the power steering belt on a 1988 Monte Carlo 305 engine?

you may have to take the alternator belt off first. loosen the bolt that is in the slotted part of the alternator bracket and loosen the pivot bolt and nut that goes through the cast aluminum body of the alternator bolt heads are 9/16 or 5/8 inch. push on the alterator to loosen that belt enough to take off. now the pulley of the powersteering pump migh have holes in it get one about the 4 oclock position and you may see the bolt you need to loosen the pump up and pivot it to fit your belt on. if there are no holes in the pully simply look at the bracket that mounts the pump to the motor and find the bolt that has a slot behind it and that's the bolt you need to loosen up to pivot the pump and slide on a new belt. you will need some sort of pry bar to hold the new pump belt tight while you tighten the bolts back up. BE CAREFUL not to puncture your pump resovior or you will need a new pump because now it has a hole in it. put your alternator belt back on and use a pry bar to push in back into place and be careful not to pinch any wires when you do it. tighten bolts back up while holding pressure on the belt. when the car is running you should see very little vibrations in the belts and you know you have them tight enough.

What does a Cam sensor do and how much does it cost to replace?

The cam sensor and the crank sensor replace the need for a distributor on all modern cars which use a computer to send the fire signal to the correct spark plug. Both signals are necessary to do this. A failure of either one will cause the engine to die. Over time, both of these failed on my 92 PA. This usually happened after the engine got hot. Allowing it to cool down it would start again and run for a short time period. I had it repaired at a Buick dealer and it cost about $300. I don't know how hard it would be to do it yourself.

AC blows cold on passenger side and semi-warm on driver side on 1998 Buick Century Custom?

What are the jewish customs on friday and saturday?

On Friday, we have a shortened workday and then prepare for the Shabbat, by cooking, tidying the house, and showering.


The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight. Its origin is in the Torah (Genesis ch.2, Leviticus ch.23, Exodus ch.20 and many other passages).
The Sabbath is a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2); a day of rest (Exodus ch.20, ch.31), and a day of strengthening ties with the family, the community, and with God.

There are two main aspects to Shabbat observance: what we do and what we don't do.
What we don't do: we're not permitted to work on the Shabbat (Exodus ch.20). This includes 39 categories of productive interaction with the world, such as planting, writing, kindling fire, etc. (Talmud, Shabbat 73b).
What we do: candles are lit, customarily by the lady of the household, around 20 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon. We then attend synagogue for the Friday afternoon prayer (mincha), the kabbalat Shabbat (ushering in of the Shabbat), and the Shabbat evening prayer (maariv).
On Shabbat morning, we again attend synagogue. The services are longer than on weekdays and include prayers as well as reading the weekly Torah-portion.

There's often a kiddush (refreshments) afterwards, and congregants have a chance to schmooze (to talk). Towards the late afternoon, there's another (short) service (Shabbat mincha).


After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine), and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school.


After that, Shabbat is a quiet time: no phones, radio or TV (etc.), just schmoozing, taking walks, visiting friends, reading, learning Torah, playing board games, etc.

Husband and wife, in particular, finally have a chance to be together after a hectic week.

Can you replace a tire size 20570R15 with tire size 21560R16?

Not with out changing the rims. a 205/70/R15 is 205mm tall 7 inches wide and 15 inches is the rim size. So with tire size 215/60/R16 you would need a different rim. This is not even taking in to account that you might have clearance issues or issues with your speed sensor.

Opposing Opinion.

Yes, you can switch to this size tire/wheel combination. The 16" combo will be .14" smaller in diameter and .39" wider. You speedometer will be .3 mph too fast. This swap will work with no clearance issues at all.
