Monte,
You need to do a little home work with your manuals before you take on
these jobs to save yourself a lot of further head aches down the road. Most
manuals will walk you through this process very carefully but you must take
it step by step. Most of your questions are answered right up front in your
manuals. I highly suggest reading the entire chapter through before you take
on each area of your car and then continue to go back and refer to it as
your progressing.
What manuals are you using? Are you tired of hearing the word "manual"
yet. Thats for a reason. You will need one just for the simple fact of
understanding what the list is going to be telling you.
Sorry, school is out. Now go find your manuals. :>)
