What are the steps to change a master slave cylinder?

You got to drop the tranny and gearbox and get in there. After that its cake. Watch out for that top tranny housing bolt as its not what you think...12mm inverted 6-point , or whatever you call it. I found out the HARD way. The book doesn't tell you and neither does the dealer.

the upper 2 bolts are inverted torx. E12 is the socket that fits perfectly.

How much is it to fix a rod on the engine of a '97 Chevy Tracker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm going to assume that you refer to a connecting rod in the engine. Unfortunately, this isn't an easy task to undertake nor a cheap one to pay for. If the connecting rod snapped it may have caused unrepairable damage while being spun as the crankshaft turned. You should be able to see this by removing the oil pan (and perhaps pump) and inspecting the inside of the engine block, pistons, and crank.

If you've beaten the odds and there is no damage, it may be possible to replace a connecting rod with the engine in the car; I do not know. If it is at all possible, it will be difficult. If you're up for the task, try it yourself. If you're targeting paying a mechanic to do this, it may be cheaper to install a new engine. You'll have to talk with someone with far more experience with this car than I to get a confident answer.

If the connecting rod broke or a bearing spun due to insufficient oil flow/pressure than I would not consider simply trying to replace a rod or bearing.

In any case, if you have a broken or damage connecting rod, the costs will not be cheap. You might be able to swap in an engine from a junkyard yourself for less than .00 dollars or you may pay a mechanic to swap in a brand new turnkey style engine and the cost may be .00 dollars. Most likely, if you choose to pay a mechanic to swap a new engine in. Expect a bill of at least .00. If you pay a mechanic to change the connecting rod, you might be able to get away with .00. However, this may not be possible or feasible.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Good luck. -MJ

P.S. If it wasn't a connecting rod that is damaged then ignore what I said. If the connecting rod didn't snap, also ignore it.

How do you remove starter on a 1996 Toyota 4 runner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The starter is attached by 2 bolts.

First, unhook the battery.

Next, the thing to the left of the battery holder is the cruise control. You need to move that out of the way to give you room to work.

There are 2 bolts on the starter. Try to soak with WD-40 to loosen them up. If you can loosen both bolts with a wrench or rachet set, unhook all the wires attached to the starter and remember where they came from.

The new starter will bolt on the exact same way.

Reattach the wires and put back the cruise control and battery holder, as well as the battery.

These bolts could be stipped if you dont use high quality six sided cup. If they in the process they are stipped get Craftman extractor cups which work flawlessly and install new high grade bolts with washers. These extractor extract the bolt instantly and extremely easy.

Asked by Wiki User

there was a recall done on this car as i had one. problem with fuel filler hose. take to dealership. done for free. if this has been done then u need to check the rubber fuel hoses as they tend to go bad. i had to replace a few of those two. third possibility is bad fuel injectors that are leaking. dont wait. dangerous. Have your gas line checked. It could have a small hole in it. I had the same problem with my car. The gas line was cracking. I change the gas line, the smell went away.

How do you reset the maintenance required light on a Toyota x runner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shut off the car with the odometer showing the "Trip A".

Then, while holding down the reset button, turn the ignition to the "On" position. There will be 6-7 lines showing instead of the odometer numbers, and they will disappear one by one.

Keep holding button down. Then all "0's" will be displayed, and finally it will show the mileage.

Reset complete.

Why does your 96 Acura Integra make a short groaning noise from the engine bay randomly when running?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Been wondering that myself for years. I was just looking under my hood for an unrelated issue and it made the noise. I can't be sure the exact source of the sound, but I believe it came from something associated with the ABS system (according to the markings on the component the sound seemed to have come from). The mystery continues...

Why would the RPM go up and down in a 97 Mercury Mystique?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This happened to me today on a major highway. The Ford garage told me it is a transmission problem. Check transmission problem solutions here in this blog. Solenoids, etc. It means your transmission is slipping, that happens in a lot of mercury mystiques. not all true there is a throttle position sensor or T.P.S. on your throttlebody try that its way cheaper than transmission

How do you fix a Low Catalyst Effiency Bank 1 code P0420 on a 2001 Toyota Camry?

User Avatar

Asked by Rina126

This code is generic and is the same on all vehicles. P0420 = Catalyst System Efficiency Below ThresholdCatalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. This means that the secondary O2 sensor detects that the catalytic converter isn't working as efficiently as it should. This engine code can be triggered by any one of the following:

1.) The catalyst in the catalytic converter is cracked, clogged, or otherwise damaged.

2.) The secondary O2 sensor is malfunctioning.

3.) There is an exhaust leak.

4.) The computer unit is faulty

What capacity in milliliters is the same as 3.4 liters?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). These are the denominations you need to list when converting metric units. Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right (same as multiplying by 1000). You will get 3.4 L = 3400 mL.

1999 alero trac light kept coming on?

Asked by Wiki User

first, check behind each of the tires to make sure the ABS wire is connected to the hub assembly (a wire comes from the engine and plugs into a clip on the hub). if that doesnt work see a mechanic. is the "anti-lock" light on as well? i have this problem. one of my ABS wires lost the clip so i need to get one from the junk yard. Is the car sputtering? it can also be problem with engine. Mine would come on when I had a problem with my injector.

Why would a 1993 Buick Skylark not turn over?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Does your information center disappear when you try to crank. Do you hear anything happening when you try to start? You should hear the starter solenoid operate. A low or bad battery or the connections cause poor battery connection and poor charging also. Spray WD40 on all connections. Head lights work? - NO? Look at battery. Yes? Look at the 12 volts that must feed the starter solenoid when the ignition is turned to start. A cheapie voltmeter is a real useful detecctive in these type of problems.

How do you change the rear wiper on a 2005 Sienna?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

EASY TO DO YOURSELF

1. Pop off end cap at BASE of wiper arm.

2. Remove nut with 10mm wrench or ratchet.

3. Remove whole arm. Might have to rotate counter clockwise to

work it off.

4. Fold wiper blade assembly all the way back and it just slides out at angle.

5. Set new blade assembly in and reassemble arm and cap

They should have these instructions in the dealer part bag because I could

have broken the wiper arm. Luckily I googled this question after I became frustrated on how to remove the old one. I attempted to change the rear wiper on my 2005 Sienna and although I now understand how to go about this, I was not successful in completing it. Here are the steps to follow, perhaps this will be helpful: 1. You will notice that the rear wiper arm does not pull away from the glass the way the front arms do. That is because of the plastic protective cap tat covers the bolt and nut on which the arm swings. You need to start by removing the cap. Spread the sides of the cap and slide and lift it away from the glass to remove it. 2. Once the cap is removed the whole arm will swing out away from the glass. The wiper will detach from the fixed portion of the arm in a similar fashion to the front wipers - it unhooks easily. Be sure to note which end of it faces what direction; it can only be replaced one way. 3. You will notice that the wiper frame (not sure if this is correct nomenclature, but lets go with it) is not your standard Canadian Tire replaceable wiper. Because of this, you need to replace the actual wiper blade (the rubber part separate from the frame). If you have purchased a replacement wiper including the frame and the blade, you will need to separate the new blade from the new wiper frame and use it to replace to old wiper blade. This probably involves a pair of pliers, and some careful sliding and pulling of the blade through the wiper frame. I was unsuccessful at separating the new wiper blade from its frame in step 3 (the new blade was destroyed in the process), so I ended up putting my old wiper blade back on the wiper frame and replacing it on the van. I think I'll have the thing changed by the pros when I next service the vehicle. Nevertheless, perhaps this information will be useful to someone more adept at this type of thing.
