  Q: How to replace or repair an emblem/nameplate on a door on Chevrolet Venture?

  A: You need to secure the installation area with tape before placing alignment marks to put on or fix a door emblem/nameplate. Apply heat from the J 25070 heat gun over the emblem/nameplate in circular motions for 30 seconds while keeping the gun 152 mm away from the surface. You can take out the emblem/nameplate using a plastic tool and flat blade. Body parts need the 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501) while plastic parts should be cleaned with a lint-free cloth dipped in VMP naphtha or a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol-water mix. Use the same cloth with cleaning solution to wipe the prepared area afterward and dry it completely. Apply tape to indicate the spot when no marking already exists. Mount the LS emblem/nameplate properly while placing the MONTANA emblem/nameplate 33.35 mm (1.313 in) from top of the side molding down and 38.1 mm (1.50 in) from the door front edge to its front edge. Position the WB emblem/nameplate 5.512 inches above and 2.640 inches away from its specific installation point. Fix the PREMIERE emblem/nameplate at 41 mm (1.614 in) down from the top and 60 mm (2.362 in) across from the left edge. To install the MONTANA THUNDER emblem/nameplate position it with dimensions of 70mm x 195mm and 95mm. The ends should measure 30mm and 70mm respectively. You must heat the installation spot to 27-41°C using J 25070 (Heat Gun) until it reaches 80-105°F. Keep the emblem/nameplate surface at 29-32°C. Place the emblem/nameplate according to the reference marks and remove the protection film. Then press it firmly while ensuring proper surface contact all around. Dispel the protective backing from the surface where it will be attached.

  Q: How to remove and install a steering wheel on Chevrolet Venture?

  A: Before you begin to remove the Steering Wheel you should first disable the sir system by turning off the ignition key. Next, remove the inflator module. Mark an alignment reference point into the Steering Wheel hub when Steering Wheel hub alignment marks are absent. Do this by aligning the mark with the Steering Shaft mark. Set the Steering Wheel nut to the surface of the steering column shaft end before you loosen it. The j 1859-a Steering Wheel puller (J 1859-A) with j 42578 Steering Wheel puller legs (J 42578) must be used on pontiac vehicles to loosen the Steering Wheel. Both chevrolet and oldsmobile vehicles need only the j 1859-a to loosen their steering wheels. First disconnect any available Steering Wheel control electrical connector followed by removing the horn switch lead from the steering hub. Start by removing the Steering Wheel nut before pulling out the Steering Wheel from the Steering Shaft. Follow the instructions to disconnect and remove the Steering Wheel controls when they are equipped. Posting the Steering Wheel controls and harness onto the Steering Wheel should be accompanied by steering sir connector routing and precise Steering Shaft and wheel mark alignment before final Steering Wheel installation. Secure the Steering Wheel nut with 45 nm of torque (33 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the horn switch lead and steer wheel controls electrical connector before placing the inflator module. Complete the sir system activation process then ensure all equipment works correctly including horn operation when vehicle has Steering Wheel controls.
