  1. Install the brake caliper bracket (1).
  2. Perform the following procedure before installing the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts
    • Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch
    • Clean the threads of the bolt with denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry
    • Apply Threadlocker GM P/N 12345493 or Canadian P/N 10953488 to the threads of the bolt
    NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems
