How do you change the serpentine belt on a 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier?
The easiest way is to get a serpentine belt tool. Available at Harbor Freight very reasonably priced. The Cavalier/Sunbird 3.1 has almost no room between the frame and the idler pulley. The idler pulley is in the "middle" of all other pulleys. To loosen the belt you pull it towards the front of the car. There is a 3/8 hole in the end of the pulley. You might be able to get a 3/8 drive ratchet in there but it won't be long enough to get the leverage to move the pulley. Either a piece of pipe slipped over the ratchet handle, or a deep socket with a long extension slipped over the handle will give you the leverage to move it. I've done it this way in the past, but the special tool is much easier.

How do you find the horn on a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier?
I just had this problem. You have to look under the passenger side front wheel well. There's a plastic cover held on by about 10-12 screws. Take the screws out and the plastic cover just slides out (there is a little plastic cap thing on the top that takes a little tug). Then look up under the fender and you'll find a horn. Be sure if you're gettting a new horn to get one that looks like the little black horn with two knobs - not the flat silver things. Took about 15-20 minutes.

How do you replace a head gasket located on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier 2.2L?
Replacing the head gasket on any vehicle is a long and complicated process, however if you wish to see basic step-by-step instructions go to the related question on the right side of the page "How do you replace a head gasket?"
It can be a long job, and maybe slightly more than a first time do-it-yourselfer would want to undertake, but with all things car-related, if you have the manual, the right tools, and good organization, just about anybody can do this repair. Get the repair manual for this car, a basic mechanics set (sockets and wrenches), and a torque wrench, and just take your time making notes (and maybe pictures) along the way, and your repair should go smoothly.

How do you replace the ignition in a 89 Chevy Cavalier?
the easy way is to buy a used steering column from a junk yard. If you have the proper tools [steering wheel puller,tilt wheel spring intaller and remover,torx bits] its simple ! 1st remove the steering wheel 2nd take the 3 torx bolts out,unscrew turn signal arm, unplug the harness under the dash then lift the switch out. Installation is the same.
I think last answer is not a good one. Simnply remove three screws at the bottom front part of the steeering column poastic covers and remove the plastic convers. There are 2 torx bols at tha left side. Remove them.
