How to Replace Car Parts

How to Replace Car Parts

Replacing parts is a core activity in the repair, modification or customization of vehicles. While the steps necessary to replace parts vary on make, model, and year, the same basic elements apply to all.

Instructions

    1

    Determine what it is you are going to replace, be it as complicated as the engine or as simple as changing a headlight.

    2

    Consult the owners manual to determine what parts are available through your dealership, or what aftermarket parts may be compatible with your vehicle.

    3

    Consult the appropriate individuals, such as mechanics or dealers, to determine whether it is an operation recommended for someone of your skill level. Some jobs may simply be too difficult to pursue without a great deal of training or knowledge.

    4

    Obtain the appropriate parts you wish to replace on your vehicle.

    5

    Remove the old part from your car, placing it aside or discarding at your discretion.

    6

    Install your new part in the place of the old, making all necessary adjustments as needed based on your previous consultations.

    7

    Test the newly assembled vehicle in a safe, controlled environment to ensure you have replaced the part properly.
