How do you Replace rod bearing?
If the bearing has not spun or seized, you drop the oil pan, take the rod cap off of the rod and put the new bearing in. The bearing is in two pieces, half in the rod and half in the rod cap. If the bearing has spun, you should remove the crankshaft and either have the rod journal polished or machined for a thicker bearing.

Can't get front rotor off a 2001 Saturn SL 200 series?
Just had this problem with my 01 Grand Prix tonight. I hit the crap out of it (the rotor) and it still would not come off. Turns out that having the emergency brake on was stopping me. I chocked the weels and took off the e-brake and they came right off. Hope that works for you. It seems that this answer is not found on any of the pages I've seen so far.
How much does it cost to replace wheel bearings on a 1998 Saturn?

Why is your Saturn wobbling after using fix a flat?
That depends on two factors.
1. does it "wobble" at low speed (10-20 mph)? If so, the belt of the tire has slipped. Once the belt has slipped the tire is unsafe and should be replaced before you drive the vehicle at high speeds. A slipped belt can completely separate and can cause damage to the vehicle as well as causing the vehicle to become dangerously unstable. Belt separation is common when a tire is driven flat or low.
2. if it only "wobbles" at high speed (50+ mph), the tire is out of balance, probably because of a settling of the fix a flat compound.
In either case, the tire should be taken to a qualified tire specialist for replacement or repair.
Where is the alternator located on a Saturn SL?
Altenator is located on the back bottom side if the engine below the power steering pump. To remove it you will need to take of the front passenger wheel and remove the splash shields. Two bolts hold it on. It will take some twisting, bi=ut that is the way the factory manual tells you to take it out.

How do you change the headlight of a 1996 Saturn SC?
If it is an SC2 the lights have to be flipped up and you have to have a torque screwdriver to get the light out. Be careful not to take out the WRONG screws.
it sounds like your wires have been reversed, check your light assembly against the other side that you did not change and make sure they match. You more than likely have a ground problem. These type problems are very difficult to find. Good luck.
What you did wrong was doing it yourself. Not trying to be harsh, but take your trans to a local professional. If you insist on fixing it, get a Saturn service manual.
you can take it apart again and go over it repeatedly till your 100% shore you got it, or take it to the pros....i do all the work on my 4 cars except the tranny's i can work on them, its just not worth it if you mess up much like yourself

Where is the camshaft position sensor on a 1999 Saturn sl1?
The camshaft position sensor on a 1999 Saturn SL1 is typically located near the camshaft itself. It is often situated on the cylinder head or timing cover, close to where the camshaft rotates. Refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for the exact location.
What gas should you use in Saturn 2000 sl2?
Super unleaded if not your sensors start going out, one by one.
HAHA that's funny Regular unleaded is fine for these cars. No need to spend the extra on super......Use only major brand gas though not the cheaper no names as they get the stale gas from the major guys......
OP is WRONG. your sensors will go out one by one over time anyway, its called normal wear and tear. Regular unleaded 87 octane will work just fine in your saturn. unless you have modified the motor and raised the compression ratio above what it was from the factory. (9.5:1 iirc) unless you are driving a vehicle with a high compression ratio, premium is a waste of money, and midgrade is just a rip off. -airframer1189
How do you change a serpentine belt on a 95 Saturn?
Release the tensioner, and it will loosen the belt. Refer to the illstration under the hood of your car to put the new one on. If it does not have a picture, you must remember this, as it is not fun trying to figure it out on your own.
