How do you put freon in a 2000 Oldsmobile alero?
Number one rule with refrigerant is, "If you have to add it, you have a leak." Auto refrigerant is sold in pressurized cans and, to my knowledge, requires certification to purchase and use. There will be a port with a cap on the line coming out of the top of the compressor. Screwing the can on will fill it, but overcharging will reduce the cooling power of the refrigerant.
You can buy it at any auto store. Even Walmart carries it. No need for a cert.

How do you turn off the service engine soon light on a Oldsmobile Alero?
If the light stays on, it shows that there is a hard fault in the fuel system, emissions control etc etc. Either disconnect the battery for 15 minutes or so or take it to a shop to get the code read..that will tell you what part is malfunctioning. There is no other way to shut it off because the light is controlled by the ECM.
I have taken it to the shop but the computer says there are no codes stored then the light goes out but a few days later it comes back on I take it to the shop and it is the same responce No Codes Stored and the light goes out

How do you stop that clicking sound from dashboard in a Oldsmobile alero?
You have to replace the hazard/turn signal switch located in the center of the dash. Oldsmobile issued a recall for this part in 2004. If it has not been replaced, the dealer will do it for free. If it has been replaced, and failed again (like mine has) you are on your own. Call a dealer to see if it has been replaced yet.

remove caliper bolts, use pry bar and force caliper off the mount, I would recomend that you replace the caliper because it is siezed from heat, and the rotor is most likely damaged as well, replace it also, reasemble with new pads and regreese the wheel berings, this most likely is the front driver side wheel right? replace the other side aswell or the breaks will not stop evenly jmh
