manowar77 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well, i finally change the alternator, thermostat and the left front wheel bearing on my 95 STS Seville this weekend and it all went on without any major problems! The biggest problem was how to get the alternator out, according to Haynes repair manual u can remove the alternator without draining the coolant system but thats impossible! I had to drain the coolant, remove the radiator completly and also remove the front with the headlights in it, but that wasnt so bad, it was screwed on with 6 screws so it came off easily! I was going to change the coolant and thermostat anyway so.. Now the engine keeps cooler at driving, between 93-96 celsius. The wheel bearing came off easy too.... took about an hour to change it! I added some pics to show how i proceeded!
