Greetings Sir, I commend your commitment and diligence with removing your subframe. I too own a Cadillac Cts and have removed my subframe as well. However for you to remove the subframe with extremely basic tools and makeshift items is incredible. I applaud you Sir..
Love the video. I have back and neck injuries and cannot do this anymore but the feeling of fixing something really makes you happy. Good times keep up the good work!
Excellent video, man! Love the fact that you couldn't find a video anywhere so you made your own. This video helped insanely so I can mentally and emotionally prepare myself for this torture-fest😁. I've been wrenching for over 20 years and have cone across countless times where I just needed a little helping from a video of something and can't find one anywhere. I can never remember to make videos of my my own tortures, I mean work, hahaaaaa! Anyhow, excellent video indeed. Clear audio, well spoken/understood, detailed informative clips of each part of the process, but not 6 hours long! 😂🤣 It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks a million!
Thanks, good luck with that access panel I was afraid to do it because of sparks but in hind sight I should have made one while it was down for future maintenance.
IMHO, the engineers were really stupid not to leave a fuel pump access port on those vehicles and other Cadillac models like the SRX's, but on our side of the problem, WE are more stupid than they are if we don't make one. PROPERLY making one does not create any safety issues or devalue the car in any way. I have fixed dozens of Cadillac fuel pumps by making such access ports and customers have thanked me many times over for having done so.
@@okoegwale30 one more question sorry when you was done did it stop once or putt then run smooth or is this normal until gas runs out what causes this you know
Kishia B. None of that my car never did anything to indicate something was wrong. It drove fine until the day I replaced the pump I smelled gas and started looking for the leak. When it was done it started like normal and every thing has been good since.
@@okoegwale30 sir, you are correct. I appreciate the quality of your video. I thought you did a great job with it. It’s just that my initial observation watching you use a second wrench to gain leverage seemed like not so good a technique. Two points I make; I use tools to work on aircraft ‘cause that’s my trade. I know from the decades of my labor that there always is a better way to do a job, if only we knew beforehand. That comes with years of experience. Expenditures on tooling is another matter. I have an ‘08 STS and my fuel pump works, I don’t have starting issues however the pressure is below specs so I wanted to see what replacing it requires. From watching your video I learned that it takes quite a bit of effort. Again my apologies. I didn’t want to offend you but did anyhow. My bad.
@@douglassorge6235 thanks for the apology. I too am a aircraft’s mechanic 20 years and I do understand the right too for the job concept. However, This was my first video and my intention was to show how to do the job with basic hand tools. But, check your trunk. I could be wrong but the sts and cts has some differences and I think the sts has access to the pump in the trunk.

Great job brother. The other guy needs to drink the sugar he showed on the TH-cam. Thanks you to show us everything to drop the tank.
Thanks for the video, about to do this in a few minutes. Everyone said just just the floor. I’m not cutting my car

Wow! That was a workout! I give you props for handling that job. I could never do that. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks, it's a lot easy than it looks the hardest part is just getting started.
Great job for a first video... Very helpful info...
Every damn cts does this. Wtf? I'm cutting a hole under the back seat. But props to you for doing this video. No one else has.
Thanks, good luck with that access panel I was afraid to do it because of sparks but in hind sight I should have made one while it was down for future maintenance.
Grease or gear oil on the drill bit with a 1/4 inch stop . drill slow on the ouside corner and tin snip the rest.
Thank you🙏
appreciate the info bro
Thank you for making the video. How many hours would you say it took you to do the entire job?
Awesome video. thanks alot bro.
same i cut an access ,it was super easy to cut . cars arent built like they used to be
Could you help me out with measurements? I need to that

Great video!
Best choice I made was cutting the hole…should of been there in the first place…caddy’s are a piece to work on…I can’t wait till mine finally goes
How did you ensure it was properly sealed?
@@okoegwale30 turned on my car and watched for leaks...its just a locking ring and a big rubber o ring
@@poopywelder I’m talking about the hole you cut
You didn't need to do all that you could gain access to fuel pump under the back seat
Yeah, it had to happen. The is no access under the seat as stated in the video.
Good video but on most Cadillacs there is a panel in the trunk towards the passenger side
This is not a STS its a CTS so no panel trust me
Does this happened often or is it wear and tear I have one 2008 51,000 miles thx
Kishia B. It seems common at the time of the video I had about 90k on it
You got rid of yours did it happen again I'm thinking maybe I should but never had any other major problems thx
Kishia B. No I still have it and this is the only problem I’ve had with this car up till now it’s always ran great

Where would the fuel filter be at
Francisco Francisco it is in the tank and is replaced when the pump is replaced.
Could you replace filter without replacing pump ?
Is it the same on the sts
Clasick3124 not sure
sir i do have 2008 caddilac and i have acces from the trunk
Then you don’t have a CTS
if you dont have acces from inside then make one
That an option that you can choose to exercise. However, I did not.
Like the rims....what size are those? 22 or 24?
22
what's up uncle
Try invest in a better set of wrenches
They seem to work good enough to complete the job. You should try adding value to a conversation or remain quiet.

@@okoegwale30 I wish what you said were true but all the Cadillac techs say otherwise. Frowns…
@@douglassorge6235 yeah I just checked and I’m wrong
