Re: How too remove spring damper on 94 Oldsmobile cutlass...
Go to any auto zone or parts store and you can borrow a puller to remove the harmonic balancer. Try to get a repair manual to assist you in the removal procedure.
It's not to hard to do, just have to lay upside down in your pas. floorboard, remove plastic panels under gloove box with small nut drivers,(can't remember size) then there are three hex head screws holding on the blowerplus the wireing connector, anf it has a wierd rubber gasket, hope this helps.
That could be only two things one a bad pistion or a bad rod. I would take the engine apart and find one or both maybe broken or in bad repair fixing. I would not drive it far it will throw the pistion or rod right through the engine costing ya more money or a new car.
Remove about 2⁄3 of the brake fluid from the reservoir with a clean syringe or baster type utensil.
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
Matchmark the relationship of the wheel to the axle flange. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
Reinstall two lug nuts to retain the rotor.
Unfasten the bolt and washer attaching the cable support bracket to the caliper body assembly. It is not necessary to disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever or disconnect the brake hose unless the caliper is to be completely removed from the vehicle. Freeing the cable support bracket allows enough flexibility in the cable to pivot the caliper up and down and remove the shoe and lining.
Remove the sleeve bolt.
Pivot the caliper body assembly up. Do not completely remove the caliper assembly body.
Remove the outboard and inboard shoe and linings (pads) from the caliper support.
Remove the two pad clips from the caliper support.
To install:
Bottom the piston assembly into the caliper bore. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slot to turn the piston assembly and thread it into the caliper body assembly.
After bottoming the piston, lift the inner edge of the boot next to the piston assembly and press out any trapped air. The boot must lie flat. Make sure the slots in the end of the piston are positioned correctly before pivoting the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining in the caliper support. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in the piston slots to turn the piston as necessary.
NOTE: Whenever installing new pads, install new pad clips. These should be provided in the disc pad kit.
Install the two pad clips in the caliper support.
Install the outboard and inboard shoe and lining in the caliper support. The wear sensor is on the outboard pad. The sensor is positioned downward at the leading edge of the rotor during forward wheel rotation. Hold the metal shoe edge against the spring end of the clips in the caliper support. Push the shoe in toward the hub, bending the spring ends slightly, and engage the shoe notches with the support abutments.
Pivot the caliper body assembly down over the shoe and lining assembly. Be careful not to damage the piston boot on the inboard. Compress the sleeve boot by hand as the caliper body moves into position to prevent boot damage.
After the caliper body is in position, recheck the installation of the pad clips. If necessary, use a small prytool to re-seat or center the pad clips on the support abutments.
Install the sleeve bolt and tighten to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
Install the cable support bracket (with the cable attached) with the bolt and washer. Tighten the bolt to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm).
Remove the two lug nuts retaining the rotor.
Install the wheel and tire assembly, aligning the marks made during removal.
Carefully lower the vehicle, then firmly depress the brake pedal 3 times to seat the pads against the rotors.

it is considered a strut on the rear even though it doesn't have a coil spring wrapped around it. it bolts to the rear spindle and goes through the rear of the body. the car will need to be re-aligned if you replace them.
You can go to a nearby parts store and purchase a Haynes automotive reference guide and it contains all the different diagrams that would need. On the front of the book it would say 1990-94 lumina cutlass etc.
You have to find the linkage and pull it. If yu cannot find the linkage, one trick is to go to a self serve wrecking yard and play with one of the 90s olds by removing the door panel and looking at it to see how it works.
