How do you change a brake pad on a 1996 Ford Taurus?
Go to your local auto parts store first. Get a Haynes Manual for your car. This book has very detailed information on how to repair most of your common problems with cars.
The Taurus is actually one of the easist cars to change brake pads on. For the front, remove the bottom bolt from the caliper, flip it up and remove and slide in the new pads with attached shims. You may have to compress the piston, using a C-clamp slightly to flip up the caliper and completely compress it to fit the caliper back over the new pads. Make sure you open the master cylinder and remove about 1 inch of fluid before compressing the piston.
The rear pads are similar, though the pistons are threaded and require a special tool to compress them.
You want to inpect the rotors and resurface or replace them if necessary when replacing pads. Top up the master cylinder after applying the brakes four or five times.

How do you take the dash out of a Volvo s60?
Taking the dash out of any car is a very ugly thing. There is a lot of information about doing this on the 850 series just to give you a hint of the difficulty. Go to bay 13 or to the OZ brick web site for help in this regard. I know for the 850 family that it takes a decent shade tree mechanic about 4 hours to extract the dash and that many again to reinstall.
If you mean the instrument cluster and not the dash that is another issue, since the instrument cluster can be extracted from the dash if need be.
The terminology for this system is ABS (anti-lock braking system). This prevents wheels from locking while braking heavily. The reson behind this is that when a wheel is locked, it cannot steer, which can lead to accidents. The point of ABS is not reduce the braking distance, but to alllow this vital steering while emergency braking.

How do you replace Volvo S60 R windsield wipers?
My girl says have your boyfriend do it. But in the center of the wiper should be a box, this box is idealy where the arm and your wiper connect. It's a bit of a locking/sliding process, so it is going to use some force when removing/installing a wiper. First, locate the 2 lower pins on the front of the box I talked about, they are just going to be plastic tabs really. Push those inward, and pull the wiper outward. If this stumps you, let me know and I'll make a little video.
How do you change brake pads on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
Buy yourself a Haynes manual and follow directions. Mine was easy (front pads) its a 93. Yours, being newer may have disc brakes on all four wheels? That should be very easy. Spend about 14 bucks at AutoZone or Pep Boys for the Haynes manual for the truck, its not too tech, and it will get you by.

Why do you feel a vibration when you push on the gas pedal?
In my years I've had a number of cars begin to vibrate while accelerating no matter the surface. However, I want to trouble shoot some quick areas for you and maybe help you identify some possible causes. First, tie rods. these go bad on every car including yours and if you drive bad or your S.O. drives bad then its a good bet they need to be replaced. To find out if those are bad, one test is if you can move the tire and the steering wheel doesn't move or vise versa. It will always be a slight thing. But up to 70 mph it makes all the difference in the world. Next, bad wheel bearings. Unlike tie rods wheel bearings will be loose in an up and down rocking motion, tie rods only rock front to back. Think of a shopping cart wheel. And of course is the vibration in your butt or in the steering wheel, cause this will determine if it's in the front tires or the rear. And how long has this been going on?
Every 3000-5000 miles you should change the oil and oil filter element for conventional oil meaning non synthetic.
When I fill up my gas tank I try to remember to pop the hood and check the oil. Not only is this a good habit to get into but you can smell the oil and rub some between your fingers to get a better idea of how well its holding up. If it smells like gas and is gritty between your fingers its time to change it.
Keeping up with the oil changes actually saves you money. You will burn less gas as the rings will be sealing better with fresh oil giving you more power and less blow by. Less heat build up in the motor due to better lubrication = less fuel usage and less wear on the rotating assembly. If you run your car low on oil the first thing to go is the rings then you start blowing oil out the tailpipe and you can see the blue smoke, thats when it get really expensive because now you're buying a few quarts of oil a week just to watch it go out the tailpipe. To have a mechanic pull your engine apart and put in new rings will cost around $700-1000 dollars.

How do you Change Position Light on the Volvo S-60?
This usually means there is a bulb out, there is a bulb failing or there is a bulb that is not seated properly. Check the bulbs in the tail lights especially (there are a lot of them and you may not notice if one is out).
If you haven't done so already, replace your engine mounts. Also, bad axles can cause a vehicle to vibrate, not just unbalanced wheels.
