Install or Connect
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application.
General Motors will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. General Motors will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. Unless otherwise specified, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded
fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you Install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
NOTE: Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed in service. Use Goodwrench Brake
Parts Cleaner (GM PIN 12345754), or equivalent, and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene or other oil-based solvents
which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to brake linings and is flammable.
