Cavalier L4-2.2L VIN 4 (1998)
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer 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.
1. Install the wheel cylinder bolts (8) using a #6 Torx socket.
^
Tighten the wheel cylinder bolts to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
2. Install the backing plate (11) to the axle flange.
3. Install the hub and bearing assembly. Refer to Rear Wheel Hub and Bearing Replacement.
4. Install the brake drum. Refer to Brake Drum Replacement.
5. Install the inlet tube line and nut.
^
Tighten the inlet tube nut to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: When servicing brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding brake linings, by cleaning brake parts with a dry
brush or with compressed air. Many earlier models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne if
dust is created during servicing.
Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be used
to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment Is commercially available to perform this washing function. These wet methods will
prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
6. Bleed the wheel cylinder and then the complete brake system. Refer to Brake Bleeding.
