BODY LUBRICATION
HOOD LATCH AND HINGES
Clean the latch surfaces and
apply clean engine oil to the latch pilot bolts and
the spring anchor. Use the engine oil to l ubricate the hood hinges as well. Use a
chassis grease to lubricate all the pivot points in the latch release mechanism.
DOOR HINGES
The gas tank filler door, car door, and rear hatch or trunk lid hinges should be
wiped clean and lubricated with clean engi ne oil. Silicone spray also works well
on seals, but must be applied more often. Use engine oil to lubricate the trunk
or hatch lock mechanism and the lock bo lt and striker. The door lock cylinders
can be lubricated easily with a shot of silicone spray or one of the many dry
penetrating lubricants commercially available.
PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE
Use chassis grease on the parking brake c able where it contacts the guides,
links, levers, and pulleys. The grease s hould be water resistant for durability.
ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
Lubricate the throttle lever, and the accele rator pedal lever at the support inside
the car with clean engine oil.
TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE
Lubricate the shift linkage with water re sistant chassis grease which meets GM
Specification 6031M or its equal.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
Once every 30,000 miles, clean and repack wheel bearings with a wheel
bearing packer. Remove any excess grea se from the exposed surface of the
hub and seal.
REMOVAL, REPACKING, INSTA LLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
