Factory Service Manual

[flashlight]

Just wanted to let everyone know that they should get a factory service manual. If you don't have one you are missing out. It's way better than a haynes or chiltons manual combined. It happens to be able to answer just about any question that you might and if you get stuck post a thread and get someone to answer it.

I agree. I have all three and when a repair comes up, I look at all of them. The FSM is pretty hefty, and sometimes you'll spend more time looking through it than it takes to do the repair.

Are these the "Helms" factory service Manuals?...If so, Their a $105.00 for a complete New set from the Helms website. These are the Factory Service manuals we use in the GM Plants. The Manuals are listed under "Chevrolet" and then "Metro". Just type in your Year and list "All types".


Helms Factory Authorized Service Manuals

They can sometimes be found on E-Bay (Used Sets) if your real lucky!

I agree. Bought one off of ebay for 20 bucks and it's 1000 times better than my Haynes.

I've said it in another post on the Haynes manual.

Yes its the Helms manual. I got mine at http://www.books4cars.com/. I think I paid about $50 4 years ago when I had a broken piston skirt and did a complete rebuild. They list one now for a 95 at $70.
