Do you have any experience doing a Re&Re on an alternator and/or AC compressor ?.
These two unit are 'shoehorned' into the engine compartment so tight, I don't even know if I can get my tools in there, let alone my hands.
Thanks,

Hi Dale,
I bought mine from Helms; they are the original service manuals. My set for my 93’ STS cost $90. I just looked and they are having a sale at Helm Inc. for 1995 and prior. I would suggest ordering a set promptly before any sale stops or they run out of inventory. I have added a link to their site for you. It looks like you can get a set for $30 right now, a bargain!
The alternator and AC compressor are a tight fit. They both come out from below. There is a cover plate and a plastic shield that need to be removed then it is not to bad to remove the alternator.
The AC compressor is a little more effort. There is also a special method of bolting the AC compressor back in that must be followed, to much to note here.
I would strongly advise getting the service manuals before doing any work on your car. The money spent on these original manuals will pay for themselves the first time you use them.
The link should take you to the right manual. If you need to look up the manual again, look under Cadillac/Seville. It will not list as an STS for this product.
