I don't really measure the minimum thickness of every cars' or truck pads..... we can see thru looking in between the rims w/ flashlight. Sometimes the outer pads gets more easier to worn out or get thinner or vice versa. I usually advice my clients to get rid of it. Better than forgetting it and can cost you a lot by changing every rotors. But to tell you the truth, I changed the pads at its 1/8 of an inch.

The Tail light assembly needs to come off. There are 2 10mm nuts accessable though the two door panels at the rear of the trunk. once those are released, the tail light comes straight out with three guide pins disengaging from sockets in the body. You will then have full access to both stop lights and the turn signal light (2057 type)

Usually this is loose vent flaps being blown open and closed by the wind. With the fan switched off take a look at the vent from the outside of the house. If it has flaps they may look "closed" in calm weather but they usually just hang down loose. Then switch the fan on and you'll see the flaps "floating" on the flow of air. If the noise is really annoying then, to solve the problem, the vent can usually be changed for the kind that has a fixed open grille and no flaps at all - but then you must regularly clean the grille to keep it clear of the damp fluff that gets blown onto it from inside the bathroom, otherwise it will get blocked and you'll think the fan is useless! To get over that particular problem the more expensive extractor fans and vents have springs to hold the flaps shut when the power is switched off and a little motor or other device to open them when the fan is switched on.

The tail lights are accessed through the rear inside of car. 1. open back hatch. 2. remove cover plates on inside rear of trunk trim. 3. remove the nuts holding the rear light assembly. 4. remove bulb holder(twist lock mount) and remove bulb. To re-install do in reverse. SEE PICTURE: http://www.stealth316.com/images/mitchell/s-parts-15.gif

Go to the Delco radio shop and ask for a rod and mast assemley. You then take the antenna apart and install the new parts. Hope this help out. cananda Remove the retaining nut, the wrench is in the mast kit. Have somone turn on the radio as you gently pull the antenna away from the car. If most of the white cable comes out with the mast, follow the diagram on the instruction sheet and orient the toothy part of the cable corectly. Have somone turn on the radio as you feed the cable in. Fasten the retaining nut and turn the radio on and off a few times.

its a big job. the timing belt drives the water pump. you have to drain the coolant, remove air filter hose to engine, remove fan an fan shroud, serpetine belt, alternator, remove the two front bolts to the a/c, remove harmonic balancer pulley. remove timing belt covers, loosen power steering pump so you can remove alternator ,set the timing then remove belt. then remove the water pump. you need a 10mm,12mm,14mm,17mm an a 22mm an 24mm sockets both deep well and shallow and all those sizes in wrenches. a Phillips head screwdriver and something to hold the crank when you are trying to remove the bolt. that is a quick overview

This is easy. All you need is a Philips head screw driver. There are two screws at the bottom of the plastic lense. unscrew them and gently pull the entire assembly out. Then you can turn the bulb connectors on the inside to release the bulb and replace it. Sometime the connectors are tough or stuck, but they twist about 90 degrees and then release. Then reassemble.

I have owned my 1991 previa since new. Absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. Mine is a AWD. I now have 392000 plus kms and have not had one problem or had to replace any power train parts so far. Normal wear and tear items, yes of course. This vehicle has never left me stranded and I still drive it today. I hope to get twice the mileage that I have now. I have owned my 1991 previa since new.

Underneath the fog lamps you'll see the black plastic covering around the lamps, remove the screws that hold two together(no need to remove all screws), and slide your hand to the back of fog light. It's the kind of light that locks into place when you rotate it. Turn the light and slide the socket out. Once you've done that, remove bulb and put in new one and turn into position that secure it. It's easy if you jack the car up a little, but it's not necessary. Good luck

What a pain, I had to remove the bolt that holds the two pieces together as suggested, plus 2 along the side of the bumper and 1 closer to the middle of the larger piece in order to bend it down and fit my hand in.

To replace the foglight bulb, it's a lot easier to remove the headlight first. You will see two black tabs on the headlight, pull them straight up and wiggle the headlight to the front. Then the foglight will be right underneath. You won't have to get on the ground at all.

On most newer vehicles the tail light bulbs can be accessed by opening the rear door and removing a panel that allows access to the tail lights and the bulbs. If this is not possible you should have some type of screws on the tail light lenses itself that can be removed to access the bulbs.

on a 1999 mountaineer, simply remove the two screws at the top of the lens assy. then gently pry the lens rearward away from the steel piilar and the lens assy will come off into your hands. the wires going to the bulb sockets will limit distance the lens assy will move. now reach in and give a twist to the socket and it should separate from the lens assy. now replace the bulb and reverse the process. the whole ordeal should not take more than ten or fifteen minutes.

It will cost about $700 to $900 (depending on brand) for four tires including installation.

Remove the positive battery cable first. The starter is on the passenger side of the engine. Might be easier to get to from below. Remove the bolts holding the wiring to it than the bolts that mount the starter in place. Be careful if it has shims that you make sure you put them back in the same way. (These are little thin spacers that go between the mounting surface and the starter). Installation is reverse. Probably would take you no more than 30 minutes to do it all.

You simply press on the fuel door and it will swivel like a revolving door. Make sure you hit unlock on your key remote because when the doors lock so does the fuel door.

There should be a button to push for that on the dash along with all your other fuel, mileage, etc. I think it's the very bottom one.
