I want to change my brakes and rotors myself. No one thinks a girl can work on a car and I will prove them wrong! I have always done my own work on my car and will continue to do it. It has been years since I have done this though. I want to walk straight out there with the right tools in hand, and finish this job before they could even get started. I have done this before, but not to this car. I need answers ASAP please! If possible, please include socket sizes as well. Thanks!
-Oh, I don't have the book here with me. It's at my old apartment. I'm not going to get it.I need exact instructions on how to change front brakes and rotors on a 2000 mustang.?

1996 Jeep- how to get the rear rotors off?
I'm trying to change the rear rotor on my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2 L. I took off the caliper, brake pads and I still cannot get the rotor to come off. Is there anything else that connects the rotor like emergency brake, etc. Thanks Mike1996 Jeep- how to get the rear rotors off?
Did you see any set screws sometimes they are on there, or you may want to take some liquid wrench and soak the rotors and let sit for about ten mins and the knock the crap out of it sometimes they need to be heated to be removed, it is caused by your brakes getting hot so they kind of weld on there

How to change spark plug wire on a 94 Taurus Station wagon?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to change the spark plug wires on my 94 Taurus wagon. The gas station wanted to charge us $500 to change them along with the distributor cap/rotor and spark plugs.
We found a video on how to do the others ...and its pretty straight forward. Please share any insight you may have.
ThanksHow to change spark plug wire on a 94 Taurus Station wagon?
Take the old ones off one at a time. Match it to a new one and put the new one back on in it's place. DO NOT PULL THEM ALL OFF AT ONCE or you can easily mess up the firing order.How to change spark plug wire on a 94 Taurus Station wagon?
They just snap on the spark plug on one side and the distributor cap on the other, just twist a little while pulling up on it. Do one at a time so you dont mix them up.How to change spark plug wire on a 94 Taurus Station wagon?
Twist the rubber boot back and forth to remove the wire and use DIELECTRIC grease to replace them.

I am trying to change brakes in a 93 ford f-150 and trying to get the hub and rotor off so I can get the rotor?
How does the locking hub and rotor come off.I am trying to change brakes in a 93 ford f-150 and trying to get the hub and rotor off so I can get the rotor?
You will need to remove the brake calibers, the rotor will just fall off. If you have the 4x4 you will need to get yourself a Chilton repair manual and follow the instructions carefully. There are steps that you must follow to get to the rotor.

I need to know how to tell difference in disc brake mounts on my mountian bike. I am changing to a 8" rotor?
Unless you are downhilling 8%26quot; rotors are a waste of money. Nobody needs that type of power for XC or all-mountain.I need to know how to tell difference in disc brake mounts on my mountian bike. I am changing to a 8%26quot; rotor?
Its not always the mounts which are vital. you'll obviously need the correct mounts for the calliper.
the calliper needs to match the size of the rotor.
IS mounts are holes perpendicular to your wheels.
Post mounts are like holes drilled in you fork lowers.I need to know how to tell difference in disc brake mounts on my mountian bike. I am changing to a 8%26quot; rotor?
Well, unless you have a disc-equipped bike from the 1990's, you won't really have to do anything except buy 1 or 2 8%26quot; rotors and their accompanying calipers and hubs. It would also be wise to check and make sure your fork and seatstay will be able to handle the increased stress loads which a larger 8%26quot; rotor will produce, otherwise they can crack and fracture when riding. If you have a disc-equipped bike from the 1990's, you may need to get a more modern hub, because modern disc brakes have 6 bolts that attach the rotor to the hub. 1990's bikes can have any number of bolts, not just six. If, by chance, your 1990's bike does have 6 bolts, then all you have to do is read the above instructions. Otherwise, get a more modern hub. I hope this helps.cat client time

mainly the rotors, the pads should be easy...How to change rear brake pads and rotors in a 99 Olds Intrigue?
Rotors are hard to take off. They have something similar to a bolt on them that holds them in place. Sometimes they can get stuck. id suggest getting a strong man to help you

My car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
This is my original question.....
I have a '92 Nissan Sentra 1.6L Manual Transmission. It has started to Idle really rough and drive rough as well while driving until it gets up to speed. I have put new spark plugs and wires, has a fresh oil change and everything. A friend of mine taught me how to check the spark plugs and listen for the change in pitch all but 1 changes and that is after the new wires and plugs. Checked to make sure everything was done right but still doing the same thing. Any ideas of what else?
So far I have a new distributor cap on it now, new rotor. No change. Still nothing in the one cylinder. Somebody also mentioned to check the compression in the cylinder. Now is that only something a mechanic can check with proper tools or is it easy to do.My car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
Checking compression is easy, and your local parts place has the tool you need to do it. They aren't that expensive. It goes in place of the spark plug; you crank the engine a few times and see where the gauge tops out. It should be within about 10% of all the others; if it isn't you may need valves or rings.
But before you blow some money on that, try this: take out that one spark plug, shoot a teaspoon or so of oil into that cylinder, and put the plug back in. Fire it up. Did that fix it? If so, it's rings. And no, that %26quot;fix%26quot; won't last.My car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
You can purchase the tool to check the compression in the cylinder.... it goes in place of the pasrk plug and can tell you whether t is good or not. You can find it at any auto parts storeMy car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
this same thing happened to me on my truck im pretty sure that a couple of your injectrues are going bad in itMy car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
assuming you checked for spark at that plug, than check that your getting fuel to that cylinder.
When you do the compression check you must pull all plugs out and disable the ignition and fuel injection. Also make sure you have battery fully charged.My car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
well when you changed the plugs were they all a nice light brown color or were they black with abuild up did you have any that were white did any have a build up across from the tip to the electrode? i ask because this would be what you check to help determine problems if any with your engine also did you change the air filter compression test=compression tester =autozone, three squirts oil crank over about 4 times write down repeat for all cylinders all readings should be within 75%of each other next get long screwdriver put handle against ear other end against injector listen to see if all working good luckMy car is giving me a headache any advice would help.?
mostly could use a tuneup through a Nissan dealership
