Clean caliper bridge where the inner pad guides (use sand paper, file. etc). Lubricate this area with a thin film of Hi-Temp grease (3M* Brake
Lube/Anti-Seize Compound # 08945 or equivalent).

Reinstall wheels and tires - USE TORQUE STICK # J-39544-15. With the publication of this bulletin, ALL dealers have at least the proper torque
stick to service W-car wheel nuts.
PROCEDURE:
A torque wrench or torque stick MUST be used to insure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. This should be done in two (2) steps using the
star pattern. First, snug the nuts down by hand. Then, using the star pattern and a torque stick/wrench, tighten the wheel nuts to about half the final
torque. Finally, tighten the wheel nuts to specification using the star pattern and a torque stick/wrench.
