Free Auto Repair Manuals – Online Information

Who knew the EGR passage on this Honda was underneath a cover on the plenum?
The best source for free auto repair manual information on-line can be found by simply using Google or other search engines for the mechanical problem or issue at hand. For instance if you were having a problem loosening a Honda crank pulley bolt for pulley removal; just type into Google “honda crank pulley removal”and you will find helpful information.
DenLors Tools comes up under that search on Google along with our YouTube Video showing the specialty tool and how it’s done! So blogs like this one and forums that specialize in certain types of cars have all the free information needed in MANY cases. You may be surprised at all the free auto repair information that is available on the Internet and people that respond to questions in blogs and forums that are very happy to help.
Inexpensive On-line Auto Repair Information
In some cases you may need access to wiring diagrams, torque specifications or step by step directions for completing a specific job; this is when a repair manual loaded with tons of information is needed. Googling free auto repair information on the Internet is great, especially when quick accurate help has been gained, but it’s also nice to have an auto repair manual as another source to go to. Some searches for car repair information may not yield the best results – so again free is good and inexpensive access to a auto repair manual information is also as good, sometimes better. If finding free auto repair information is just not happening, then buying an inexpensive on-line subscription from a company like Mitchell (see the eAutoRepair link towards the bottom of the page) may be necessary. The beauty of this is that the auto repair information needed can be accessed instantly on-line for the current project and then referred back to later for other jobs. It’s also available in Spanish, French and German!
Below are some of the areas covered by Mitchell DIY
- Repair manual

There are many car repair manuals available on-line, keep in mind Mitchell is used in professional auto repair shops throughout the world. While there is a small fee for the subscription for a specific vehicle, being able to do some car repairs yourself is well worth the nominal fee. DenLors Tools sells paper and CD Rom auto repair manuals for those that prefer to hold the book in their hand. But if waiting for an auto repair manual to be mailed is not an option, then instant on-line access could be the best solution. Once the auto repair info is viewed at Mitchell DIY, it will become obvious that the wealth of reliable information that can be accessed quickly and easily is well worth the small investment.

Do you have any repair information on a 2002 mitsubishi galant wiper motor remove and install?

Harry,
We don’t have any information on that particular repair (wiper motor replacement). That’s a perfect example of when the eAutoRepair (Mitchell Auto Repair Info) subscription would come in handy.

Could anyone tell me where the front 02 sensor is located on a 2005 hyundai elantra 2.0 4cyl?

Robert, since it’s a 4 cylinder there’s only one exhaust pipe (or manifold) coming off the motor. The FRONT Oxygen sensor is before the catalytic converter – between the cat and the motor, this is also called UPSTREAM in relation to the flow of the exhaust.
If I remember correctly on your car it is located in the exhaust manifold itself.
