1. Remove three (3) lug nuts from each wheel for lock bracket installation. Refer to Figure 1 for all models except Ninety-Eight.

NOTE: 1985 Ninety-Eight front wheel covers are retained by the drive axles; therefore, they do not require lock brackets. Refer to Figure 2.

2. Place lock bracket on lug nut studs.

3. Install three (3) special lug nuts on each wheel to retain lock bracket and torque to specifications. LOOSE CONDITION OF LOCK BRACKET WILL BE NORMAL. WHEN LUG NUTS ARE SEATED, FRONT WHEEL STUDS WILL HAVE A RECESSED APPEARANCE, WHICH IS NORMAL.

4. Align valve notch in wire wheel cover with valve stem on wheel. Place cover on wheel by hand only. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO INSTALL COVER.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
