Thanks for the quik answer.

Where the heck is the 'orofice' tube?

My freon leaked out months ago. If I change the compressor myself, do I need to add oil or anything before I take it to the shop for then to suck out the air and put freon in it?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Anyone know if the stub part is available alone or do i have to purchase a whole new seatbelt?

Looks like I have to take out the front seats in order to unbolt the receiver side seat belts.

Will the seat bolts fall out after I remove the nuts? Do I need to get under the van to hold the bolts while I remove the nuts?

If I do, then I will have to get a second pair of hands.

Ahh.. so the bolt must have some sort of plastic cover on it then.

I depend on my van for work. I'm a delivery driver. Tonight, the plastic around the driver's side seat belt latch disintegrated and the mechanism is jammed. How can I replace the latch part with the 12" long stub which seems to be attached to the bottom of the seat. It has what looks like some ...

I'm getting a bit of high pitched whine from the engine compartment. When I turn off the AC it gets quieter, but it's still there. My guess is the bearing is going out. Wonder how much time I have...

I'll do it my self. Insane. I almost asked her if she was on crack.

I was referring to the rubber covers in the wheel well.

One side at a time sounds doable...good idea. I can use the extra jack stand for insurance. What do you think of these?

It looks like it screws into a part that's behind the engine cover. How do I remove the cover to do this?

Yea. But it sounds way too complicated. It's something that I'll get done half way then get stuck. If I jack it up with the OEM jack which is supposed to go under the 'V', where would I place the jacks? I have too many questions. Heck, i can't even find on here how to remove the heat covers. Either ...

Ok, I really do need to change the plugs/wires. The info on here is great but I'm totally confused. Not having a floor jack or stands makes it impossible, I guess to change the plugs. Question...has anyone let the dealer do it and how much did it cost. Any alternatives you all can think about would ...
