worthless. they only break down the surface component. case in point, it
does not shpw how the radio comes out, or even how to change a spark plug
on a Sportage, which is a delicate procedure if you've never taken the
bracket off.
the manual goes for over S150. If you look at the Kia site, they have some
breakdowns you can down load free, if you are going to buy the part from
them. they let you look at one or two parts, but it does not go into
detail or have any charts like for torquing a bolt. The parts people at my
dealer usually let me see their manual, and even make copies of the page
for me. After all where else are you going to buy the part.

Chilton's does have a manual out, sort of. it's called 2005 Aisian Service
Manual. It has a section for Rio, Amante, and Sportage. It's only a few
pages on each. the manual sells for $139. maybe if your local service
station has a copy they might let you look at it. mostly it's
specifications, doesn't go into any detail. Here's a good project for
someone who has a lot of time on their hands. The one manual I saw, lost
some things in the translation.
