How do you check and change a heater matrix on a Daewoo Matiz?
Edit Raymond Snijkers:
I am currently changing (or trying to change) the heater matrix on a 2000 Matiz. I'd like to add to the above that there is no need to split the black box. You can simply slide the matrix out of the back of the box. There are two plastic 'hooks' at the back that hold it in place.
For me the biggest challenge is loosening the two radiator hoses from the matrix. These can only be reached via the engine compartment. But then the engine is in the way. Does anyone have an idea how to solve that?

Hi- I have just removed the entire dashboard to get at the matrix. You don't need a puller for the steering wheel - just bang the wheel a few times with a rubber mallet and then give a big pull - it will come off - honest. You can then remove the dashboard and the metal frame in front of the the heater unit and if you undo the 4 bolts securing it (the heater unit)to the bulk head it just lifts out leaving the matrix sticking out in mid air. You need a hose clip removal tool (flexible) to undo the hose clips in the engine bay - they are murder to get at with a pair of pliers - I have tried. You can buy them on eBay for about £20. NB you need the correct size torx bit to undo the airbags on both sides and you need the anti-tamper version which is quite rare. You do not need to remove the control stalks by the way, just the steering wheel. The dash will just fit over the stalks. Make sure you have the torx bit (its a 40 or a 45 I think) and the hose clamp tool before you try this job or you will not get it done in one go.

How does matrix get to its characteristic position?
By far the most abundant extracellular material is the extracellular matrix. Most body cells are in contact with a jelly like substance composed of proteins and polysaccharides. These molecules are secreted by the cells and self assemble into an organized mesh in the extracellular space, where they serve as a universal "cell glue" that helps hold the body cells together.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on 1996 f-150?
Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories.They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it. On most cars and trucks the procedure is basically the same. First off, get the correct belt by bringing your cars VIN number to the parts store(located on your cars dashboard) the parts store may need it. If there are two choices, get them both so you can complete the repair. Once you have the correct belt, take a minute to review how the belt runs across the pulleys and also check to see if your car/ truck has a underhood diagram of belt routing in case you need it. In most cases you will need a socket wrench or breaker bar with either a 3/8" and /or 1/2" head on it and possibly a short extension. Some models may require a wrench of these similar sizes.Now that you are ready to go to work, you will need to find the spring loaded tensioner which is generally located near the top of the belt path; it usually has a shinny pulley on it. Look at the tensioner and insert the tool into it and apply opposing pressure to release the belt.Now, simply install the new belt making sure it fits into the grooves on all the pulleys. Start the car to check it and you are done and you saved yourelf some money!
How do you replace 2005 Hyundai accent headlight bulb?
Open the hood and look behind the headlight. You will see a rubber cover with a electrical plug and wires coming out of it. Remove the electrical plug by squeezing the sides while pulling. Then take the rubber cover of. The bulb will be held in place by a metal wire. The wire if connected to the body of the headlight at the top, and held in place by a hook on the bottom. Push down on the bottom of the metal wire and it will come off the hook, and the bulb will come out freely. Then put in new bulb and reassemble in the opposite way you dissembled it. Have fun.
