BodybyFisher Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Not easy at all. You dont say what year, but you will need to tilt the engine forward after removing the dogbones if you have them. You may be able to access the green hoses from underneath or through the wheel well. When I removed mine, I had the carriage down about 8 to 10 inches Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfangd Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 everything sucks on this job, I did them on my 96 eldrado and it tookk me about 2.5 hours to do. The bypass pipes go to the passenger side to the heatercore and purge tank. There are 2 10mm nuts at the rear of the engine that you will need to remove to pull the assembly up and out. Good luck and take your time GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHE Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Be sure to remove the suspension sensors from the suspension before lowering the front of the cradle or the sensors may be damaged. The sensor links just pull off the ball on the suspension - one each side.

I never dropped the cradle on mine, I have done 2 so far, I removed both front torque mounts and pulled the engine forward GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
