Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...

Installed the new oxygen sensor in the 98 SW2 in the morning before work, and watched the SES light go out on the way home. Still working on the stuck bolt situation for the 95 SC2.

Re: Stuck rear brake caliper to knuckle lower bolt

I was afraid there wasn't a simple solution, I guess I'm either finding someone with an oxyacetylene setup or finding one on craigslist.

Stuck rear brake caliper to knuckle lower bolt

95 SC2, new rear calipers were put on four years ago, now they are seized. I'm in the process of removing the calipers, and the bolts holding the caliper to the knuckle are now rust-welded to the...

Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...

P0133 code on the SW2 yesterday, and the SC2 has its rear brakes apart, so I borrowed the oxygen sensor from the SC2 and put it in the SW2.

Worked on the rear brakes of the SC2, calipers have...

Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...

95 SC2, took the rear driver's side brake caliper apart since it is sticking. The calipers I picked up at the junkyard last year for the 98 SW2 are in better condition, so I'm going to use those...

Re: The fix-up of my $400 '93 Saturn SC1

I found mine at NAPA, and just used a sledgehammer and a socket to pound it out, and a vise to press the new one in, primitive but no complaints after ~20K miles.

Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...

98 SW2, today, picked up the driver's side steering knuckle at the shop that pressed the bearing in and put the knuckle back on. Greased the tie rod end and checked on the brake caliper on that...

Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...

The wagon developed a bad wheel bearing on the driver's side, so I took the SC2 out instead.

Re: Ugh! Glue and Tape will hold it together.

I'll second the velcro, the industrial strength velcro holds quite good.

Re: Oil Pan Replacement Time

Yes, the exhaust downpipe will need to be removed from the manifold to create space to move the pan. The front dogbone mount below the timing cover will also come off, and that will provide space to...

Re: factory fog lights installation

The basic wiring from the switch pod to the UHJB is there, but you will need to get the lights, brackets, switch pod, and wiring from the UHJB to the lights.

Re: coolant temp sensor

The splices are part of the problem, the connections oxidize and make the electrical connection unreliable. Check the connector that attaches to the sensor and make sure it is not corroded, while in...

Re: first time saturn owner and its a white hot edition

There was somebody from Mankato who had a white hot a few years back, I wonder if it is the same car. Can't remember the user name though.

Re: Venting a little bit.

Re: Review: Rebuilt sunroof module & how-to

For everyone who still wants to post in this thread asking about it, the maker of these kits moved overseas and has not been heard from since late 2009, you should forget about this option.

Re: Quick Lube Shops..?

These stories are from at least nine years ago, and I've tried to do my own oil changes ever since.

I had the gas station around the corner change my oil once, and I mean once, and they had a...

Re: pop-up housing removal

A lot of these from the north country have already turned to dust, and the pot metal is horrible and corrodes easily.
The middle trim piece that fastens to the bumper with 5 nuts is indeed a key...

Re: pop-up housing removal

IIRC it helped that I removed the metal plate that is held in with three nuts that is just to the rear of the front bumper fascia, gave me a little bit of wiggle room. You will have some rust on the...

Re: 1997 s series threw up all oil and coolant

If the oil light came on the damage is done, how long was the engine run with the oil light on? Most likely it is time for a different engine or a rebuild.

Re: Coolant Leak Need Help ASAP

Lol, true. We may as well ask the OP what year and how many miles at this point, so we can say "change the ECTS" in case it hasn't been. The radiator should be Delphi or Silla, and the thermostat a...
