How do you get the fan off on a 1994 ranger to get to the water pump?
there should be 4 nuts that hold the fan to the water pump it is best to loosen the nuts before you take the belt off....if you don't know where the water pump is look between the fan blades and the front of the motor 4 nuts (or bolts if someone has replaced them as such) just follow the fan blades down to where the all meet and it on the hard to reach side of the fan You will also need to take the 2 bolts on the top of ths shroud loose. After you get the 4 bolts out for the fan. Then loosen the belt with the tensioner(a 3 eights inch drive will fit into the square hole on top of tensioner bracket). After bolts are out and belt is off take the 2 shroud bolts out. The fan should come off the shaft easily. Pick up the fan with the shroud and lift straight up and out. Then alls that is left is 2 hoses and three bolts to get the water pump out.

How do you remove the steering rack on 94 paseo?
It a pretty difficult job for someone who isn't a mechanic, but if you have the tools and want to try it, go for it. You will save yorself A LOT of money on labor (because I would charge a pretty penny on this car)
Tools:Good socket and wrench set, pair of pliers, *pitman arm puller, and some screwdrivers.
Procedure:1) loosen lug nuts2) jack up and support front of car (both sides)3) remove wheel4) remove the cotter pin from tie rod end and remove nut (17mm) tie rod end is located behind the brake rotor on the side closest to the fire wall)5) use your pitman arm puller (you could use a ball joint seperator fork, but arm puller is generally easier) to pop the tie rod end out of the nuckle.6) turn the tie rod end jam nut to the right to move it up the tie rod some. this will allow the tie rod end to turn so you can remove it. Count the turns it takes to get the tie rod end off.7) remove the tie rod end and jam nut and save them. You will need to put these back on your new rack.8) repeat steps 3 through 7 on the other side9) remove the air filter box (top and bottom) and disconnect the intace duct work to allow access to fittings on rack10) remove the hydraulic lines with a wrench (there are two. one leads in, and one returns p/s fluid) PS fluid will flow freely. you should catch this in a drain pan. I wouldn't reuse it, though. There could be contaminates in it from the damaged rack (depends how bad it was damaged)11) there is what appears to be some sort of solenoid with two vacuum lines on the opposite side of the two hydraulic lines. remove those lines, and unscrew the solenoid. save this. you will need it for your new rack.12) there is a plastic cover held in by small nuts just above the hydraulic lines where the rack is joined with that universal joint and the steering wheel assembly. remove this cover.13) there is one bolt that holds the spline coming from the rack into the u-joint. remove this completely14) there is another bolt inside the driver compartment on the top side of the u-joint. if you remove this, you can slide that u-jount up the spline and separate it from the rack. your car has an unusual ammount of leeway there. that is lucky for you.15) there are two brackets holding the rack to the firewall. each has two bolts. (one on top, one on bottom.) remove these two brackets and save the rubber behind them. If the rubber isn't there, or is not any good, you could just cut some radiator hose and wedge it in when you put them back. It just helps keep the rack from moving (which it generally won't anyway.)16) it is recommended that you remove that transmission mount that is right in the way, but it is possible to work around it. once the rack is completely free of all connections, brackets, and the u-joint, you will have to wiggle it out. The easiest way (listen carefully. this is tricky, but it will work) is to slide the rack toward the driver's side as far as it will go, making sure the tie rod on the passenger side is out of it's hole and free to move about. then, tilt the passenger side of the rack down and wedge it between the oil pan and the c/v axle. You will probably have to rotate the rack a half turn to make the spline face down. I don't believe you can get it out with it facing up. It should, with a little work, slide out.17) if you actually made it this far, you should become a mechanic. Istallation is exactly the reverse of removal. you may have some trouble connecting the steering wheel to the rack so that the wheels and the steering wheel is straight. the easiest (really the only) way is to put everything back together and set the car down. straighten the wheels and then you can disconnect that u-joint again and set it straight. The only thing to keep in mind when putting the new rack is remembering how many turns it took to get the tie rod ends off. This should get it somewhat close to proper alignment, but not close enough. You will still need a front end alignment after replacing the rack. That's just one of those things. and do not forget to put power steering fluid back in!!!!! Good luck.

How do you change out the universal joint?
1. Remove the drive shaft. (much easier then trying this while the drive shaft is still in) Mark the drive shaft so that everything goes back together lined up. Drive shafts are balanced, so if two parts are put together a bit off, you may feel vibrations if the shaft is now unbalanced.
2. If these are the OEM u-joints, you might see white nylon pegs. (On Chevys since the late 70s) These are the "clips" OEMs use instead of metal snap rings. Just use a small drill bit to drill the nylon out. If they are metal snap rings, these must be removed. 3. Use a shop press to press the caps out of the yoke. First one side, remove the cap, and then press the other side out in the same fashion. Repeat until all the bearings are free. You can now remove the u-joint.
You can use a hammer if you don't have a press, but if these u-joint are old and rusty, you could be beating on them all day. I have a 20 ton shop press and there have been times when I needed all 20 tons to press these caps through. If in doubt, take the drive shaft to a shop that has a press. It should not cost very much and will save you a lot of time and trouble.
4. When putting in the new u-joint, be very careful when removing the new caps there are lots of needle bearings inside that could fall out and you will be buying new joints. Take the caps off of opposite ends of the new joint and put the joint into the yoke then put the yoke in a bench vice (or shop press) and press the new caps into place. Use a socket to sink the caps further into the yoke if needed. 5. Reinstall drive shaft

How do you fix a lock that wont unlock from the outside?
Locks that are operated by a key from both sides have two sets of tumblers i them. It is best to get a new lock or contact a locksmith to have new tumbers installed. Soon it will not be able to unlock from either side. If it is new then something inside is defective or broken and if it is old it is probably worn out.
