Now I thought, hey I saw fight club, just hit the bumper with a bat and cut them out. However, I am thinking stuff in the movies never works, I mean do you really think people can fly like superman.

So that leaves me with my current problem. I need all of the airbags out and should probably put a new steering wheel on.

Any help, much appreciated. ]]> Cadillac Tech Tips bigds01 http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/184600-replacing-steering-wheel-94-seville-sls.html http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/184189-how-r-r-99-deville-radiator.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:43:08 GMT Hopefully this will help someone else that needs to R&R their radiator.:thumbsup:

Disconnect battery.
Remove 3 plastic allen head screws and pull off the black plastic cover over radiator header and headlights.
Disconnect wire and remove air cleaner box (pull up on end of box to free from rubber grommets).
Remove radiator cap and drain radiator (can cut lower hose to drain, if necessary).
Remove upper radiator hose (not necessary to remove lower hose from the radiator).
Disconnect wires from both fans and remove the 2 bolts from top of each fan that hold it to the header and lift fans out (held in at bottom by slotted rubber grommets).
Disconnect transmission cooler lines and plug lines.
Remove 7mm machine screw that holds A/C line bracket to driver’s side of radiator (hardest part of the job!).
Remove the two bolts that hold the electrical gizmo in the center of the radiator header and move it out of the way.
Remove the 3 bolts the hold the radiator header to the body and remove the header.
Remove 6 bolts that hold A/C condenser end brackets. There is one on the top of each end of the radiator and four on the front of the condenser. Lift and wiggle those brackets out (they have a tang that slips down into slots on each side of the radiator).
Lift out radiator. (note: good time to replace the front motor mount, if necessary).
Run water through the new radiator to flush it out, remove transmission cooler plugs, screw 7mm machine screw into boss on side of radiator to cut threads and then remove screw (makes it much easier to install later).

Reinstall everything in reverse order of these directions.

NOTES:
It is easier to replace all the GM hose clamps with aftermarket that you can tighten with a screw driver. If you insist on using the GM clamps, install the lower hose to the new radiator before installation.
Don’t forget to add at least 3 stop leak pellets (I crushed mine and poured them into the bottom hose) and it should take right at 2 gallons of 50/50 mix Dex-Cool coolant.
Run engine until warm, check for leaks and after cooled down (next day) check coolant level. ]]> Cadillac Tech Tips Lew Shaw http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/184189-how-r-r-99-deville-radiator.html http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/183573-2001-deville-evaporator-drain.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:30:50 GMT I learned so much from this site that I figuire it's about time I give something back. Last weekend I was driving one of my 01 Devilles in a very hard rain. After awhile I noticed the passenger side carpet was very wet, running down from under the dash. My first thought was the evaporator drain, and searching through the forum confirmed that. But, I really couldnt find a good description of where it was, in the forum or the manual, other than on the passenger side down low. First I found the cowl drain, in the passenger wheelwell. It's like a flapper. It was free. Without access to a lift, I jacked up the car and got under and just started poking around looking for the evap drain. I really could not see it from the bottom. Finally I removed the passenger side wheel, and I reached in the opening above the frame, and my hand landed right on it. Just like others had mentioned, it was stuck closed. Once I opened it, alot of water came running out. No other problems since. ]]> Cadillac Tech Tips bigtone http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/183573-2001-deville-evaporator-drain.html
