How do I find a reliable, easy to use...but not expensive screwdriver that will remove screws where the top contains an inset star pattern. There are six of these startop screws that hold the plate th

1) Block the tires so the car will not roll. 2) Loosen the tire lugs and finger tight them. 3) Lift the car and place jack stand underneath to support the car. 4) Remove the tire. Caution: the dust created by the brake shoes may contain asbestos, which is hazardous to your health. never blow it out or inhale it. use brake spray cleaner to contain the dust. wear approved filtered mask. 5) Release the parking brake. 6) Pull the drum straight out. 7) If it will not come off, remove the inspection hole cover plug from the backing plate. 8) Insert a screwdriver through the inspection hole to disengage the adjusting lever, then back off the adjuster screw star wheel with another screwdriver. 9) Pull the drum out evenly, you may have to tap around the drum with a hammer to break it loose.

If you are replacing the whole headlight assembly, it is really easy. There are two long screws/bolts. They have a star-patterned screw/bolt. Remove those two fastners and pull the headlight straight out enough to disconnect the headlamp bulb from the backside.

easy job considering ,i done one a while back but the cost of the radiator was astronomical just over 500 euros ,remove the fan on the back of the radiator ,the top piece of metal over the top of the radiator ,and comes out but the problem i had was with the hoses as they have a sort of push in clamp ,also the oil cooler feed pipes from the auto box and the engine oil cooler pipes ,now the engine oil cooler connections were just screw on but the gearbox cooler pipes have a special plastic retaining clips and these broke on me and the only way i could repair them was to buy new ones which come with the whole pipe from the gearbox and they were very expensive indeed ,also their are a few different versions as well ,all this because of a silly plastic clip .Also i had to unbolt the AC radiator from the main radiator as well .but the hardest part was the gearbox cooler pipes

Found this while looking to replace speakers:

DOOR WITH POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS First remove the triangle piece in the top corner of the panel (piece closest to the outside mirror). This can be done with a plain screwdriver and just a little
prying and it will snap off. Second, remove the door lock inset, same screwdriver, little prying
and it snaps out. Next remove the cover inside the door handle, same screwdriver, pry and snaps out
(turn it upside down and slide it off. Now you will need to remove the cover that holds the window
and door lock buttons, same screwdriver and pry upwards just a little and should pop off. Ok now you
will need a small socket to take out three screws. One is inside the button panel you just took off,
the second is inside corner of the door arm, (the handle you grab to shut the door, look under it,,
see it yet, yeah thats it). The last screw in on the very bottom of the whole door panel, you will
have to get on your hands and knees to see this one Now would be a good time to remove the door light on the corner, same screwdriver, pry from the red lens side outward, once out, remove the wire termial. Ok.... now grab the under side of the panel where that last screw was and lift upwards, apply a little more pressure till the panel pops upward about an inch. Now your door panel is loose, you can lift it off a little but you will need to remove the wire from the tweeter. The termial has a locking tab you need to press down to remove it.

For vehicles with power windows...This is easy! Disconnect your battery!!
1.You remove the plastic corner piece near the mirror, this pops out from the top and pulls up from the bottom, in that order. Remove the screw that is behind this.

2.Remove the switch panel by placing a flat head driver in the crevice facing towards the rear of the vehicle and pry upwards. Once you have it loose, unplug all connections.

3.Next, remove the plastic trim around the door handle, there are three prongs that hold this in place, the first two are above and below the handle, get these first, and it will slide toward the front of the vehicle.

4.After removing the trim, remove the handle, one bolt holds it in place. There is also a screw just above that that needs to be removed.

5.Now move down to the door light. Remove the cover very carefully by sticking a flat head screwdriver in the bottom slot and prying upwards. Once you have that removed, there is one star head screw that needs to be removed. I could not find my star drivers, so I used my Allen wrench.

6.Once you have all of these removed, pull up on the door panel, be careful with the light at the bottom, just turn it and pull it out from the back. The mirror connection can be reached after removing the panel.

Hope this helps you!

For the front turn signal:

There are two ways to get at the bulb.

Way 1) YOU NEED A SKINNY SHAFTED STAR SCREWDRIVER. This is how the manual describes it: Unscrew the 2 star screws holding the parking light housing on. One is on top, the other is between the parking light and the turn signal. This second screw can be very difficult to get to because the parking light and turn signal housing are very close. After the parking light housing is off, you can unscrew the turn signal housing. The screws should be located on top of the housing, underneath the parking light housing.

Way 2) This is the way I did mine: First, you have to take the headlight housing off. It should be pretty easy to pop off if you pry it the right way. It is held on by 1 square clip and 2 ball and socket clips. There is a small risk of breaking the ball and socket clips, as getting the headlamp housing off does require a little force, so be careful. You may want to take the headlight bulb out first, but isn't necessary. (Removing the right side bulb may require removing the battery) Once the headlamp housing is off, the turn signal bulbs should be very easy to get to.

To remove the bulb, simply turn the bulb socket and it will come out.


For the rear turn signal:

Open the lift gate.

There are 3 hex screws that hold each rear light assembly on. I'd recommend a hex screwdriver, as a socket wrench or box wrench would be very hard to use on the screws. Once the hex screws are off, just tug on the light assembly and it will come off. The bulbs are very easy to get to. The turn signal is the yellow one.
