Please dont tell me to take it to a garage i dont have the money thats why im doing it myself.THANKS FOR THE HELP(i need detailed instructions) SOME ONLINE DIAGRAMS WOULD BE NICE.
To be honest I dont have any idea, but if i was you i would go to autozone and get the 93 buick park avenue manual book repair , on that book it will tell you everything, hey it work for me, Good Luck!
Like Bryan said , spend the $20 on a repair manual, but seeing as that may be too difficult, just do what I do and use AutoZones online stuff.
these are actually really easy to work on. You don’t really need any special tools other than an air compressor and an impact gun to get the harmonic balancer bolt off. Without an impact gun, you would somehow have to keep the engine from rotating while trying to loosen the bolt. There is no special tool to remove the balancer. It just slides off. Just basic hand tools would do, mostly all metric like 10mm, 13mm, 15mm. You might need an 18mm wrench to get the belt off. Once you take the timing cover off, btw remember to take the three oil pan bolts out that go into the bottom of the timing chain cover.
