You should probably have a manual, though. and you will have to be careful to notice and memorize where and how the few parts go. Please follow the safety recommendations in the front chapter of the manual. They're important. and the manual will tell you if you need any unusual tools. I had to remove two rusted screws to get the rotors off, and found that an impact screwdriver ($10--parts store.) and a hammer worked wonders.



At many auto parts stores you can buy a Haynes do-it-yourself manual for your model car, with step-by-step instructions, and basic explanations at the beginning of each chapter. If it is not in stock, you can order it online by searching on %26quot;auto repair manuals%26quot; on Yahoo search. In the front is a section on %26quot;Troubleshooting%26quot; that guides you step-by-step to find causes of most engine malfunctions based on the car's symptoms. Whether you do the work yourself or not, it helps you make informed decisions and not be taken advantage of, and to not feel so %26quot;in the dark.%26quot;



db667089 says: you can check http://www.alldatadiy.com. For about the same price as a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual, you can have online access (for a whole year) to model specific info for your particular vehicle. This is the same info that repair shops use. They have great wiring schematics/diagrams.



Also, for about $15 for a one-month subscription, you can get the factory manual, downloadable (careful! Mine was about 500 pages!) or viewable, at http://eAutoRepair.com.



Also, many people recommend autozone.com's free online manuals.



Best regards,
