Repair And Fix it

Lift up the hood of your Camaro and prop it open with the safety bar.

Ask a helper to hold the billet grille on the front of the vehicle while you attach the bolts through the holes with a socket and ratchet.

Lower the hood of your car.

Turn the ignition to "on."

Allow the gauges to pressurize and then check the fuel level. If you have enough gas to start the car, it might be that the gas gauge is faulty, and you should have it checked. If you dont have enough gas to start the car, add one gallon of gas.

Try to start the Camaro again. If the car starts, you need to replace the fuel gauge.

Get a mechanic to change out your fuel filter. Mechanics have specialized tools for changing out fuel filters.

Have the mechanic check your engine coils. If an engine coil fails, the car will not be able to start properly.

Drive the back tires of the Camaro onto the car ramps, then set the parking brake. Slide the drain pan under the front of the Camaros rear differential, centered under the union between the driveshaft and differential. Place the jack stand on the other side of the driveshaft from your position, about 6 inches away from the end of the driveshaft toward the other side of the Camaro.

Unbolt the driveshaft from the pinion yoke with the socket set. Hold the U-joint firmly in place, and wrap electrical tape around its perimeter to keep the U-joint caps from coming off. Rest the end of the driveshaft on the jack stand so it doesnt pull loose from the transmission.

Slide the pinion yoke out of the driveshaft by hand, and set it aside. Remove the old pinion seal with the seal puller, which you can buy at your local auto parts store if you dont have one.

Align the Camaros new pinion seal with the pinion opening in the Camaros differential. Place the 2-inch socket over the seal until the sidewalls of the socket line up with the edges of the seal. Tap the end of the socket with a rubber mallet so it drives the socket against the seal, which in turn drives the seal into the differential.

Slide the pinion yoke into the differential by hand. Bolt the driveshaft end to the pinion yoke after removing the electrical tape. Move the drain pan and jack stand before driving the Camaro off the ramps.

Lift the vehicle with a car jack to access the wheels. Use an impact wrench to remove the lug nuts from the wheel then pull it off the Camaro.

Use an Allen wrench to remove the brake calipers from the brake discs. Hit the drum brake gently with a hammer until it loosens. Remove both the brake calipers and the drum.

Take the axle out of its casing by removing the four axle nuts with a socket wrench.

Remove the old bearings, taking note of their positions. Insert the new bearings. Use the old bearings to gently tap the new ones into their proper positions.

Reattach the axle to its casing. Securely fasten the bolts in place. Mount the brake calipers and drum brakes firmly back onto the vehicle.

Remount the wheel onto the Camaro and attach the lug nuts. Repeat the process on all four wheels. Once complete, test the vehicle in a quiet area to ensure the new bearings are fitted correctly.

Place blocks under the rear wheels so the prevent the vehicle from rolling when raised. Lift the vehicle with a hydraulic lift and place the two jack stands under chassis structural points behind the front wheels. This will cause the front wheels to sag due to the pressure of the coil springs and shocks. Lower the lift and reposition it under the control arm. Lift until the wheel is raised to is normal position.

Remove the lugs using a 1/2-in. ratchet wrench and socket lug. Place the lugs in the wheel and slide the wheel underneath the vehicle for extra safety. Use the appropriate sized Allen wrench to remove the retainer bolts for the brake caliper. Remove the caliper and and place it on a box or brick to prevent it from pulling the brake line. Locate the wheel hub assembly and remove the two bolts located on the flange of the lower and upper control arms. Remove the hub assembly and place to the side.

Use the 1/2-in. ratchet wrench and appropriate-sized socket to remove the front shock. Pull the shock away from the control arms and place to the side. Slowly lower the hydraulic lift under the lower control arm to allow the spring to release compression tension.

Remove the lift and place the coil spring compression tool inside the coil spring. Adjust the tool arms to grip on the spring and tighten the compression bolt with an adjustable crescent wrench.Tighten the compression tool until the spring can be removed from the control arm mounts. Slowly loosen the compression tool to remove it from the spring. Installation of the new spring is opposite of removal.

Locate the OBD reader port on the underside of the drivers side dashboard to the left of the steering column. Plug the OBD readers cable into this port. You may have to rotate it to make it fit into the port because it only plugs into it in one direction. Just make sure you dont force it in or you may damage the pins inside.

Put the key into the ignition and turn it toward you one click to the "ACC" or accessories position.

Turn the power switch on the OBD reader to the "on" position. Wait while the reader interfaces with the computer. When it has finished, it will display the alphanumeric trouble codes on the readers screen. Write down these codes and look up their meanings in the OBD readers manual.

Unplug the OBD reader from the port and turn off the vehicle. Have any necessary repairs or servicing done based on the diagnostic codes you retrieved.
