Before You Start:
Keep in mind that different years have different methods and before attempting any repair on your vehicle, you should have a factory shop manual available for your car.
Most GM cars have two shop manuals: a mechanical manual and a body manual. These manuals are helpful because they state what tools you need, often contain photos of the step by step instructions and are easy to follow. If you’re ever unsure, it’s best to have an experienced professional do it.
