Installation Guide

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.
