To take the window handle off of the 2005 Kia Spectra, you will first need to remove the interior door panel. This panel pries off of the vehicle using a flat screwdriver or a prying tool. Then, access the door handle by removing its cover and then remove the screw at the center of the handle.

Remove wheel, remove small Philips screw, give drum a whack and hopefully it will come right off. If not keep pounding, lol... and pounding and pounding...ok, here is an alternative that will work (unlike other sites, you'll see). The problem is that the back side of the drum and the front face of the hub have gotten intimate with each other, and are now seized. Breaking this bond is very difficult as it has been established over 10-years.

(make sure you have bought all three parking brake cables as well as brake hardware kit and shoes and maybe drums too). Brake lube and antiseize compound are good to use too. For drum removal, get two sets of taps and drills and bolts and a handle for 5/16 or 3/8 coarse threaded bolts. A couple of 1-1/2inch long fully threaded bolts are also needed. Rust penetrant and some cutting oil (almost any lubricant for cooling the drilling will work, but cutting oil is best for tapping). An ax or similar device, I'll explain later.

Spray the rust penetrant into the annular space around each lug bolt.

Those #3 Philips head screws do need to come out. If they wont, you'll need to drill them out. Don't worry about messing up the threads, those keeper screws are pretty much pointless.

Spray the rust penetrant into the annular space around each lug bolt.

Have a cup of coffee.

Lay the ax handle against the back edge of the drum, and draw it to you so the edge of the ax head catches the drum and nudges it toward you. One you got the idea of how this is going to work, put some oompf into it. This technique worked on one side for me.

Other sites will talk about threading a jacking screw into the threaded hole and using that to force the drum off the hub. But DON'T USE THE STUPID THREADED HOLES THOSE PHILIPS SCREWS CAME OUT OF. You will be forcing the hub away from the backing plate. With any luck you'll break the screws or strip the threads before you destroy a functional part of your car.

Forget about the star wheel you used to have to diggle with to relax the auto adjuster and get the shoes out of the worn slot in the drum. There is no access port and there is no Star wheel.

Drill a hole into the drum located like the set screw holes, except between studs where there is no hole. Slow speeds for drilling metal, oil it frequently. Go only so far so you drill just barely into the hub. You can gauge this from the set screw holes and check the drilled hole for the ring you will see where the surfaces meet.

Now set up the tap. Screw the tap in, once it starts to bite the metal, 3/4 turn or so forward, 1/4 to 1/2 turn back to clear cuttings, then forward again. If you over stress the tap it will snap, just like thap. (If you bought two, you won't break any). When you bottom out in the hole, remove the tap. The tap has a pretty long taper to it. You can grind off 75% of the taper, flat or a bit hollowed. Now you can advance the thread almost to the bottom of the hole.

Take a look and judge how much depth there is from the end of the thread to the hub. Take one of the bolts and grind off the threads at the end to make a nub that will push on the hub.

Thread the bolt in, and tighten it against the hub. Watch for movement. if none, back it out. Lengthen the nub, repeat. Once the drum moves, you can work it off pulling on opposite sides. In an ideal world you will drill two holes, tap hem both and use two bolts to push off the drum. Once the drum is off by an 1/8 inch, you can fish taping the hole in the drum and use the bolt(s) to get the drum all the way off.

An interesting option if the shoes need to be relaxed, is to break off the pin heads in the back of the backing plate (which hold the shoes in place).

On the spectra the arrangement of the spring and adjusting cog are opposite each other on the left and right sides. So, TAKE PICTURES before you take it apart. Hardware kits don't come with c-clips to hold the p-brake lever to the rear shoe, get some.

Those parking brake levers should not be bent to prevent its full range of motion. You may need to straighten one or the other out. See more under parking brake for Spectra 02

There is no such thing.

I found this from WikiHow... I hope it helps!

= How to Replace Car Keys = I know that many of my friends, including myself, have lost their car keys in the past few years. It can be an annoying thing, because the car dealerships charge so much. But here's an alternative to that process. # Find out your car's VIN number. # Go to a site like www.streetkeys.com or other key replacement stores. They usually have keys and will be able to cut keys based on the number you give them. # Select your YEAR, MAKE and MODEL and choose the order by VIN service. # Go through the process and you'll be able to receive your keys within days. # Once you get the keys, you can program them to your car w/o a technician, usually the instructions are included. # Enjoy the fact that you saved a lot of $$$. * ** I'm pretty sure you can get backup keys this way too, and you won't need VIN cut.

* I live in the Northeast region of the U.S. and I also bought a remote starter so that I could heat up my car before getting in. It's worked great.

Its probably the fuse in your engine compartment fuse box. Take off the cover and underneath the cover it shows you its a 30 amp fuse called blower, I am currently trying to figure out how to take it out though.

Case of the missing spark plugs? Not a problem, they are located under a lid on top the motor. The lid spells out KIA on top of it. There are large Phillips screws holding it on. They sometimes become rusty, so you may need to spray them with PB Blaster first. After you take that off, you will see 2 large black boxes, these are the coil packs. They are held on by smaller Phillips screws. Remove ONE of them, (PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WIRES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE COIL PACKS! YOU WILL PUT THEM BACK IN THE SAME POSITION!), you will see the spark plugs down in the hole. After you change the one side, change the other.

FYI...It doesnt hurt to draw the diagram of the wires out on paper so you don't forget where they go. Also, make sure and put the coils packs in the same position that you removed them from.

good luck.

I can be reached at pippen97@yahoo.com for any questions.

In this case, carbon nuclei can couple with deutrium one and the spin quantum no. (I) of deutrium is 1. So according to the famous formula to find the multiplicity of a signal (2nI+1) in NMR, it comes out to be 3 i.e. triplet.

the fuse diagram is on page 6-12 of your owners manual do not have owners manual

Dude, seriously...goto the dealer. If you dont know what your doing...dont do it. You could really mess it up.

Peace.

If your talking about check engine light the only way to reset the codes for those is by a OBD II (On Board Diagnostics) scanner, you can buy one at any auto parts store, but if you do not wish to buy one, most Advance Auto Parts stores will reset the code. Keep in mind if the engine light is on and a code is present, there is a problem with the vehicle, and without fixing the problem and just reseting the code, it will not fix the problem, and the engine light will come back on within 4 days or 4 drive cycles.

If the 2003 Spectra keeps blowing a meter fuse when plugged in, the power source is probably not big enough to handle the voltage. An electrician will be able to rewire the meter fuse box so that the auto will no longer blow fuses.

I need to find on a service manual for a 2001 kia spectra. Or at least find a diagram of the fuse boxes in a 2001 kia specta.

This can be attributed to a couple of things. In order to remove the key you can remove the plastic piece under the ignition switch to expose a key release button. OR you can drill out the small circle in the area below the ingnition switch to access the key release button.

The stuck key may be a faulty ignition switch or a bent shift lever. This causes the lever to not make the release solenoid contact. If you slammed it into park you make have bent the contact point on the control arm.

Faulty ignition switches are a common failure.

Trouble code P0451 means: Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Range/Performance

Yes you can tow a kia spectra
