Installation Procedure
1. Install the brake caliper bracket (1) to the knuckle.
2. Important: If reusing the caliper bracket bolts the threads of the caliper bracket bolts and the threads of the knuckle mounting holes must be free
of residue and debris prior to application of thread-locker in order to ensure proper adhesion and fastener retention.
Prepare the bolts and the threaded holes for assembly:
1. Thoroughly clean the residue from the bolt threads by using denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
2. Thoroughly clean the residue from the threaded holes by using denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
3. Apply thread-locker GM P/N 12345493 (Canada P/N 10953488), or equivalent to two-thirds of the threaded length of the lower caliper

4. Allow the thread-locker to cure approximately ten minutes before installation.
3. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
