  4. Perform the following procedure before installing the 2 brake caliper mounting bracket bolts
    • Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch
    • Clean the threads of the bolts with brake parts cleaner or the equivalent and allow to dry
    • Apply Threadlocker GM P/N 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) to the threads of the bolts
    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
  5. Install the brake caliper mounting bracket and the 2 brake caliper mounting bracket bolts. Tighten the 2 brake caliper mounting bracket bolts to 200 N.m (148 lb ft).
