I undid the wheel nuts on my Chev SSR but the rims wont move and come off
They have rusted to the hubs , get a large rawhide mallet and hit he wheels until they come off, when replacing clean up both wheel and hub surfaces and cover with copper slip grease to stop happening again
SOURCE: Changing the car battery for a 2004 SSR
- Put the truck where there is plenty of light, OR bring a shop light under there
- Put the truck on a surface you don't mind lying on (i.e. NOT gravel or mud). Bring a piece of carpet if you don't want to get your clothes dirty
- Bring your wrenches BEFORE you crawl under the truck
- Crawl under the truck, to the REAR of the battery (don't be wimpy about crawling under there if you have no lift. There is plenty of room)
- Unfasten the NEGATIVE terminal, and wedge it where it will NOT contact anything metallic on the truck (or better, TAPE it WELL). THIS IS A SAFETY and ANTI-DAMAGE PRECAUTION SO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
- Unfasten the POSITIVE terminal, and wedge it where it will not contact anything metallic (or tape it)
- Undo whatever else might be holding the battery in the box (I cannot remember, and I like I said above, I am currently between SSRs)
- Here is the neat part: The battery tray swings down a few inches to enable easy removal and reinstallation of the battery! Swing it down!
- Remove battery
- Reverse above steps EXACTLY to reinstall. ESPECIALLY the order of the terminals.
Some additional "useful data":
Do not drop the battery . . . 
Do not try to open the doors with the battery disconnected. They cannot "index" the windows down without the battery, so you will tear the window glass past the window seals - not good.
Do NOT leave the key in the ignition before removing the battery - that will LOCK the key there until the battery is back in!
EXPECT some re-learning by the computer after the battery removal / reinstallation, about things like (a) clock time and (b) the ideal air/fuel ratios for your typical driving, as it loses all this kind of stuff when the battery is removed.

SOURCE: lost ring in dash vent
Your vehicle has a central fan blower under the dash that feeds the cooled or heated air to the vents thru plastic tubes, sometimes round, sometimes flattened and curved to get from spot to spot. There are large vents at the base of the blower unit that supply air to the floor. If you locate that you can find the blower. Then there are smaller tubes that go to the other front and side dash vents. Be careful as there are wires and vacuum lines in the area which are connected to your vent controls on the dash. The bad news is that the top dash vents are usually fed from the top of the blower and may actually require a contortionist or partial dash and blower system disassembly to gain access. If you are lucky perhaps the ring fell all the way into the blower box itself and you may find that removing the side vent tubes alone will allow you to reach in the blower box and retrieve it. Otherwise it may take a professional a couple of hours to do the job and of course they will charge you accordingly. It's up to the value of the ring. Good Luck!
SOURCE: where is the battery located in my ssr?
Under vehicle on right rear near frame rail in a battery box.

Take it to advance auto parts, they do free battery installation. Save you some time and dirt... otherwise you would want to locate where the battery is.... get a wrench and the apropriate socket size to fit the bolt that holds the postive terminal. Unbolt it, which you don't have to all the way, just until the clamp is loose. ( Make sure you do not touch ground or metalic surfact that could be ground with your wrench) Then do the same to the otherside.... There might be a clamp that hold the battery inplace too. Unscrew those bolt and thentake out your old battery and in with the new one and tightern up everything as you taken out.
