need Buick help!

i have a 1995 Buick Century, does anybody know how to repack the muffler bearings, and also change the halogen and blinker fluid? If its not too much trouble could someone tell me how to check the Canuter valve clearances?
Thanks

First you have to lift the car up with a sky hook, drain all the winter air out of the tires,remove all the chrome from it and replace it with duct tape.

Now for under the hood.

Flush the distributor cap out with coolant and make sure it goes back on right away. Loosen all the fan belts ...oh ya I forgot... turn the radio up.

Drain the oil from the crankcase then.... Start the engine and rev it at 7500 rpm for 18 minutes.

And don't forget to backflush your wiring with reverse amperage.

Also, to check the canuter valve clearances, you'll need a toenail gauge.
