How do you change the brake pads on a 1997 nissan altima?
Pull off the wheel - after removing the lug nuts it might be tight or "stuck" and you may have to bump it to loosen it from the wheel housing. Once the wheel is off you can then see the disc brakes. On the back at either end of the assembly is a bolt with a recess that takes a hex also known as an Allen head wrench. You will need to loosen and unscrew both bolts. Once these are removed you then can slide off the assembly that hold the pads. Be carefule to not over strain the hose or the parking brake cable. Secure the assembly with a piece of tiewire. The pads will then essentialls be free to slide out of the housing. Remove the pads. Now comes the part where you have to recess te piston that presses the pads onto the rotor. Using a suitable wrench screw the piston ends so that they screw back into the piston housing. You will need to make sure you have moved the pistons back enough so that you can reinstall the new pads and slide the assembly back over the rotor. When you have done this align one of the bolts that you prevously removed. Notice there is a rubber "boot" that you will need to move around and possibly rotate soa s to be able to position the assembly. Insert one of the screws and screw in a few turns. Repeat with the other. Tighten each bolt to the appropriate torque - for this value refer to the manufacturer's recommendations. Look for any hydraulic/brake fluid leaks. If noe then reinstall the wheel. Tighten lug nuts to the appropriate torque - do not use any liquid lubricant on the nuts, dry clean threads are correct. Before driving the vehicle anywhere drive forward and backward applying the brakes rather sharply to cause the pads to move out to engage the rotors. Do not drive anywhere until this is done and the brakes are working properly. If this does not answer your question - go to a local service place and ask someone there to show/tell you how to do it. Good luck and be careful.
How do you remove the car battery of 2001 Volvo s40?
I don't know, but I had a similar problem in a 2002. It seemed there was a latch that was supposed to slide to let the battery out which was latched in, but I couldn't move the latch at all. It was very frustrating and a person from Checker Auto Parts couldn't figure it out either.
I had similar situation, after some frustrating time trying to figure out how to release the latch, it occurred to me that the latch is designed to pop-out when levered upward at the tap. I used a hammer claw to tug at the tap of the latch and pull upward with controlled steady force, and it should pop-out.
Can you replace Volvo S60 2011 headlight lamps with Xenon bulbs?
yes, so long as they are the same type (mine are H7 Xenon)
How do you reset the oil service light manually on a 2001 Volvo s60?
um that's bad. It's an automatic light, which means that it goes out when the problem is fixed, like your door ajar light. So this probably means you need oil. If you don't know how to do this, real quick, make sure car is off. Down on the bottom side of the driver seat foot area up against the wall by the door under the dash there is a hood release. Pull it towards you. Go to the hood, feel around for the safety release and push it up. Then pull the hood up. The dipstick is colored yellow w/ a circular tip. Pull it out, clean it off, then check it twice. Make sure there is oil on it to a specified level.
How do you get gas door open when locked?
Happened to me when I was very low on fuel. Client, that I called to explain I was going to be late, came to rescue. You need to manually push the lever/plunger. Get at it by opening trunk and pulling down panel on fuel door side as if you were going to replace a bulb in the back. Notice, a box and plunger as you look from back (light panel area) to front of vehicle. Push plunger. Viola!

How do you turn off the Dealer service light on a 2007 S60 Volvo?
Take it to a dealer. (Helpful score -10)
A somewhat less trite answer is:
1..... Turn ignition to position 1
2..... Press the trip reset down and hold
3..... Turn ignition to position 2 (within 2 seconds of holding down the trip reset)
Continue to hold the reset in until the original milage is returned, then release.
Switch ignition off, count to ten then turn on again, warning should be removed.
Now make sure your vehicle is serviced, changing the oil is the cheapest spare part !!
Most 2003 onwards vehicles have a yellow warning triangle in the centre of the dash, this will light up when it is time to release the button.
Hope this helps........

How do you reset the time for regular maintenance notification on a 2008 Volvo S60?
After trying several suggestions I tried this and it worked!
1. Opened driver door and kept it open.
2. Turned key on position II.
3. Pressed odometer button and held it down. (It had some mileage on both T1 and T2 when I started don't know if this makes a difference.)
4. Turned key on position III within 2 seconds of pressing the odometer button.
5. Waited until center warning triangle started flashing (about 4-5 sec).
6. After that I let go of the odometer button.
7. Turned off ignition fully.
8. Turned on ignition and checked that code has reset.
I think the trick is to wait until the warning triangle begins flashing. I did the second time I tried this and it reset. 2008 Volvo S60 2.5T

How do you change brake pads on a 97 Monte Carlo?
If your not used to working with antilock/traction control vehicles, you may want to leave this job to a professional. There are some things that you need to be aware of before proceeding with the job. But, if you decide to go on with this, You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
You will need: Jack, jackstands, various wrenches or socket set, new brake pads, c-clamp
I usually do one side at a time.
Jack the car up safely. Put the car on jackstands.
Take the wheel off.
Loosen the two caliper bolts.
Pull the caliper off, and remove the old pads.
Make sure you DONT let the caliper hang by the brake cable set it up behind the knuckle or get something to support it with.
Use a large C-clamp to push the piston back in.
Install the new pads on the caliper.
Put the caliper back on, tighten the bolts down.
Replace the wheel.
Move on to the other side. Repeat procedure.
Check brakes before going anywhere!
the immobilizer prevents then engine from starting when for instance someone is trying to steal the car. if you have the proper key this should not engage.
What would cause a grinding noise when you let off the breaks slowly?
on newer volvos, and many other cars, the grinding you might hear is simply the sound the brake pads make when they rub against the brake rotor. if you let off the brake slowly, then its purely the slight friction between the two causing the sound. i too have an s60 and have heard this before. dont worry about it. the s60 is a heavy car and the brakes are under a lot of pressure
How do you change the emergency brake pads on a 1994 Toyota Celica gt?
First of all, there are no "emergency brake pads". The emergency brake or handbrake utilizes the normal brake shoes that are used by the service brake pedal.
No it doesnt who the hell told you that, have you ever looked, the handbrake uses separate shoes on the inside of the rear discs. these can be changed by
take off the rear wheels, and put on axel stands
remove the rear calipers and use string to hang caliper off suspention spring so brake pipe is not damaged
with handbrake in off position remove discs
change over shoes making sure all parts are refitted as they were orignaly
wind in the adjuster at the bottom and refit discs and wind 2 wheels nuts on to hold disc in place for adjustment
test the handbrake, if it sits high the shoes needs adjusting,
turn the disc so the inspection hole is at the bottom, using a screwdriver turn the adjuster (both sides must be done equally for correct fitment)
this process maybe repeated until handbrake is about where you want it, the adjuster on the handbrake it self under rubber dust cover this can be used to fine tune
refit wheels and check the handbrake works as desired
ANSWER:: Wow.. I am not sure where the second opinion came from, but I can assure you that the first one is correct. The emergency/parking brake on the 1994 Celica is actually just a manual hand setting of the regular rear brakes and can be adjusted from insde the car. Just lift the emergency/parking brake handle.. you will see an adjustment nut (or maybe it's a screw.. but I think I remember it being a nut). All the nut does is free-spin to allow the handle to compensate itself relative to the tension in the cable. With the brake handle pulled up about 2/3 of the way, make your adjustment and then pull the handle all the way up to test it for desired firmness. It's easy and quick to do.
How do you change brake pads on a 2005 equinox?
raise auto and place jack stands under auto, remove tire , unloosen the caliber bolts, remove caliber, take out front brake pad and use a C clamp to push the pistons back into the caliber, remove rear brake pad and install new pads and place caliber back and bolt on and then pump brakes until they are hard again
