Firenza L4-112 1.8L VIN 0 TBI (1982)
DOES NOT MEET MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS FOR MINIMUM ROTOR THICKNESS OR MAXIMUM DRUM
DIAMETER.
NOTICE:
When re-installing tire and wheel assemblies, it is very important that proper procedures be followed when installing and torquing
the wheel nuts:
A.
Finger start all wheel nuts.
B.
Tighten wheel nuts to specified torque (use the "star", or alternating nut pattern) using a torque wrench. DO NOT USE AN
IMPACT WRENCH. UNEVEN AND/OR EXCESSIVE TORQUING OF THE WHEEL NUTS HAS BEEN FOUND TO
DISTORT ROTORS, RESULTING IN PREMATURE CUSTOMER COMEBACKS FOR BRAKE PULSATION.
3.
After brake pads have been replaced and/or rotors have been refinished, it is recommended that the new braking surfaces be broken in, or
burnished, to propedy seat them. This can be accomplished by making 20 stops from 30 mph, using medium to firm pressure. Take care to
avoid overheating the brakes.
4.
It is strongly recommended that the correct, specified General Motors replacement part(s) be used when servicing G.M. vehicles. General
Motors does not test non-G.M. parts for proper performanee on G.M. vehicles. Therefore, the use of non-G.M. parts may result in
unacceptable vehicle performance. It is also important that the correct G.M. part(s) be used in the correct G.M. application. For example,
some "A" model disc brake pads ("A" Heavy) will fit on "C and H" models, but will not provide the same performance as the pads specified
for use on C and H vehicles. It may seem preferable to stock fewer brake pad part numbers, but customer dissatisfaction may result if
vehicle performance is affected.
