Are you serious? This has to be a joke right? I think the post pinned up at the top with the word RETARD in it might be what you are looking for...

no its not. i already looked at that and it only has putting it together. i have it already put together and need to just take the old 1 out and put the new 1 in. RETARD!

*cough*shop manual*cough*

Okay. take the old one out. Put the new one in. There you go, in two steps.

sorry im retarded. just thought that it might b a little difficult and to c if any1 had tips but i guess no1 has any advice for the young kid...

it isn't that, but when you post and say, "Hey, can you tell me step by step how to do something complex and involved?" It makes us think that you haven't even bothered to do any esearch. There's a ton of information here, so try the search, look around, and if you have any specific questions, ask. We're not going to spoonfeed you information.

Jeff,

There are plenty of good shop manuals out. Two that come to mind are Haynes (available everywhere) and www.alldatadiy.com

These both have very detailed step by step instructions to do this job correctly.

When you post a question like "post every step I need to do to do a large job" it comes across as two things:

1. You don't know how to do it yourself and need help
2. You haven't looked into anything yourself

Number 2 is very frustrating, because it symbolizes laziness. That's why these guys haven't taken the time to write out a step by step process. Because it's already been done.


Now, in the future, if you were to say, "hey guys, I was taking my motor out, and I don't know how to remove my blinker fluid overflow canister, any ideas?", then we'd be happy to give you pointers in the right direction.

Hope this makes sense.

Brian

thanks for the pointers guys. ill look more in depth next time before asking questions like that. it really is my first time doing an engine job by myself and i am very lazy. thanks again. ill post if i run into problems that i cant find.
