Have to replace rear caliper. The book says to use a scan tool to release the EPB cable. I don't have a scan tool, at least not one that will perform that function on this car. Is there a Plan B?

Under the dictionary definition every criminal defendant charged with resisting arrest is an insurrectionist. That's your claim.

Feed that delusion, you nut.

"Insurrection". What a joke. We know what an insurrection looks like, the Congress told us in 1868- half the states seceding from the Union, followed by a bloody 4 year war to restore it. That's an insurrection. Jan. 6 was a protest that got out of hand, a riot at worst. But an...

Problems not solved! Never tried the reprogramming, I have a few other vehicles to drive and got sidetracked with other things and work so the LS was put on hold for the most part. The car moves forward when I put it in gear and performs all the necessary mechanical functions to get me from...

Roof leaked and had for some time, finally got around to dropping headliner enough to find the drain tube had shrunk and detached from the nipple. Spliced in a piece of rigid tube, secured with clamps, good to go. Couple of days later the 5A fuse for interior and puddle lamps starts blowing...

Lucky you. My cooling system drained itself yesterday. Now i have to figure out why.

Spending $3500 for a reman trans, installed, was pretty horrible.

My '03 v8 trans lasted to 100K miles before the servos destroyed the case. Paid a lot of money for a remanufactured trans but 60K miles later still going strong, no issues. And the shop assured me this one was bushed (in the good sense).

My '03 V8 started acting similarly and intermittently wacky several years ago, eventually leaving me stranded with lights working, car cranking but not starting, and the tech needle jumping all over the place. Had it towed to dealer who informed me that the computer was fried, they'd replace for...

Cream? Creak.

I had a creaking sound coming from the left rear, applied a good amount of silicone spray to the lower control arm bushing and let the car sit overnight. Cream was gone the next day and I can't returned, that was about a month ago. But am replacing the rear uppers and lowers anyway when it...

Allegedly firing a gun. I imagine the proof issues caused the DA to accept a plea.

Thanks for the reply. Going to go ahead and replace pretty much the entire rear suspension. Shocks and springs already done, new OEM springs and cheap aftermarket shocks, car's handling great so far. I know I'm rolling the dice on the shocks but what the hey, I needed them and if they don't...

Something like this rubber all-weather? Part # 3w4z 5413086 ba, dark ash it says on the label. Probably lighter than what you're looking for. Bought these years ago for some reason that now escapes me, never used them since they're not the right color for my car... but there it is.

Got the new shocks and springs in, car's back to its normal ride height and seems to handle quite well. The right side took about half a day, the left about half an hour once I knew how to do it. Pretty simple, actually. While under there I observed that the toe links are completely rusted...

Thanks to all for the replies. Good idea, will do that. Thanks!

Thank for the reply. Let me ask you this- it's a nylon locknut, which should help hold in place. How critical is it to get the thing torqued at least close to spec? The nut seems to be tight on there.

This might be a stupid question, but the torque spec for the top shock locknut is 37 ft lbs. How does one torque the nut without the shaft spinning? I assume the torque has to be applied while the spring is compressed out of the car, yes? I grabbed the tit on the end of the shaft with a vise...

I want the car to handle as it always has since I drove it off the dealership lot 15 years ago. I'd say reasonably priced is about $100 per wheel?. That's shocks AND springs, since they're probably sprung by now too.
