Front Brake Caliper Bracket: Installation

NOTE: The brake caliper bracket bolts threads and the threaded holes of the brake caliper bracket must be free of residue and debris prior to reapplication of threadlocker in order to ensure proper adhesion and fastener retention.
  1. Prepare the bolts and the threaded holes for assembly:
    • Thoroughly clean the residue from the bolt threads by using denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
    • Thoroughly clean the residue from the threaded holes by using denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry.
  2. Apply threadlocker GM US P/N 12345493, or equivalent to two-thirds of the threaded length of the lower caliper bracket bolts. Ensure that there are no gaps in the threadlocker along the length of the filled area of the bolts. Allow the threadlocker to cure approximately ten minutes before installation.
