Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

The alternator is sitting on a guide. It is held on it by a bolt. All you have to do is loosen that bolt and the belt pressure sould realese.

Look around for a wheel that is touching the belt but appears to have no other purpose...this is the tensioner. Use a long handled wrench on the nut in the middle of the tensioner.

there should be a diagram under the hood, in front of the radiator, that will show belt routing and show where the tensioner is...

I had to disable the leveling pump on my son's 86 Olds 98 because it would turn on by itself everytime you would get in or out of the car or even if it was just sitting there. The 98 has adjustable air shock to level the car, but our 98's shocks were wore old and worn out. I disconnected the air pump underneath the hood on the driver's side. It looks like a small black air compressor near the headlights with a clear thin plastic tube coming out the back of it. Just disconnect the the wiring harness from the pump and it will stop working.

You can fit 22's on an olsmobile but you would have to raise the car up a couple of inches

... what about it..?

Not that difficult - everything is on the top of the engine. Take the serpentine belt off first, disconnect the wires and attach them to the new alternator in order. Then take the bolts out (they are obvious) and change the alternator - put the belt back on - that's usually the hardest part and your done.

this site is great

If the cable broke at the pull under the dash, and it is still sticking out of the casing, behind the pull, you should be able to grab the end of the cable with a pair of plyers and give it a yank to pull the cable and open the hood. If it broke somewhere between the pull, inside the car, and the latch, under the hood, best bet would be if you can see under the front of the car and reach up, you can release it that way, by pulling on the cable.

Its one of two things. First, either the intake manifold is leaking coolant between the intake and the head. The gasket is pinched in the driver side rear. or Its an oil leak from the valve cover at the passenger side rear. You can tell by the smell- it can either smell like oil or antifreeze steam.

Put the car up on jack stands. The trans oil pan is behind the cross member. The trans pan is a flat irregular pan held on with about 24 bolts. I usually leave a few in on one side of the pan so that you can drain the oil into a catcher insted of wearing it. Then remove the pan, clean with varsol, there is a magnet inside that will have lots of sludge on it, be sure to get that clean. Then pull out the filter, it has a long pipe the goes up into the trans with a rubber o-ring. Make sure you get that out too, the new filter should have a new rubber and you don't want 2 up there. Replace filter, install new pan gasket, torque the pan bolts so as not to over tighten them (very important not to strip them) Nand very important not to use silicone on pan gasket. Silicone and auto trans don't mix. Then drop the vehicle, pull the dipstick tube, look in the owners manual for the number of litres or quarts and pour in slowly so as not to trap air during pouring and spill all over the engine. Probably gonna take 5 or 6 litres, but only a guess.

tweeters in the dash and 6/9 in the rear. hope this helps

That part Number does not show up in any GM cross f=reference of parts. Vehicle and make?

The the 1969 OLDS 98 had 365HP

The car is leveling itself out. You can test this theory by letting that noise stop. Then jumping on the bumper will make it unlevel and you will hear the noise again.

how do you change the super charge fluid in a 1995 buick riviera You don't it is a completely sealed unit so you should not have to.

i just changed my supercharger oil .Yes you can check it and no, it's not a sealed system. There is a small black plug looking thing about the size of a peanut that is embedded into the gray/silver supercharger itself. You have to use a hex key/allan wrench type tool to loosen it. refer to your owners manual for how much oil to add or if it gets low. the problem with removing old oil is that you have to use a baster type thing ( like a small turkey baster type suction) to remove the old oil as there is no drain plug that I know of. Hope this helps!get your supercharger oil from your local buick dealership, i think it takes 2 bottles

There is a tension pulley located on the left side and down about half way down with a arm attached to it, you have to pull the tension arm up to release the belt. actually on the 96 model it not that simple just to change the serpentine belt you have to disconnect MOTOR MOUNT before you can remove belt i know that sound crazy but i have a 96 acheiva sc v6 that i change belt on not pretty!

Haynes or Chilton manuals will have all of those diagrams.

The speakers i put in the dash of my 98 were 3.5 inch speakers!

try a sledgehammer or screwdiver phlab

Usually the fuel filter is located towards the middle to the rear on the drivers side attached to the frame.

You can fit up to a 502 Big Block if you really wanted too. The biggest problem being that this is a 1984 is the emissions part of this. I own a 1984 old 98 regency I think its the elite edition with the leather. Anways it has a 5.0L V8 in it and the room is there just working around the computer aspec it the real issue. If you find a matching motor with computer if that's the way your going your set to go as long as you meet emission laws for your state.

Goodluck,
