IMPORTANT ALERT:
GM uses a very strong thread-locking compound on all body bolts. Use of an air assisted impact ratchet can
cause damage to the threads on factory body mount bolts and the internal nut assembly because of this thread locking compound.
We only recommend the use of hand tools to slowly remove and reinstall body mount bolts on all GM vehicles.
PROCEDURE:
CRITICAL INFORMATION:
If during the removal process, it becomes increasingly difficult to unscrew the body mount bolt with hand
tools, tighten the bolt several rotations to clear the thread locking compound from the threads, then reverse direction and continue to
unscrew until the body mount bolt is out. Repeat this process as necessary on all GM body mount bolts. Use of an appropriate anti-
seize compound is highly recommended for re-installation. Tighten body mount bolt to factory torque specifications for your particular
model year.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.
Start the installation under the driver side of the vehicle and remove the front body mount bolt. Do not remove the rubber
bushing.
2.
Hang the driver side front Mounting Bracket from the body mount using the factory hex bolt,
(Figure 1)
. Do not tighten
hardware at this time.
