Metric Fasteners
This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch and strength.
A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive® or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver or equivalent, in Posidrive® recess head screws.
GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
Scheme 5
| Callout | Component Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | English Bolt, Grade 2 (Strength Class) |
| 2 | English Bolt, Grade 5 (Strength Class) |
| 3 | English Bolt, Grade 7 (Strength Class) |
| 4 | English Bolt, Grade 8 (Strength Class) |
| 5 | Metric Nut, Strength Class 9 |
| 6 | Metric Bolts, Strength Class Increases as Numbers Increase |
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face.
The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States and may exhibit the following
- Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications
- M6.0 X 1
- M8 X 1.25
- M10 X 1.5
- M12 X 1.75
- M14 X 2.00
- M16 X 2.00
Thread Inserts
General Purpose Thread Repair Kits.
These kits are available commercially.
Repair Procedure
- Determine the size, the pitch and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required depth.
- Drill out the damaged threads. Clean out any chips.
- Lubricate the tap with light engine oil. Tap the hole. Clean the threads.
- Thread the thread insert onto the mandrel of the installer. Engage the tang of the insert onto the end of the mandrel.
- Lubricate the insert with light engine oil, except when installing in aluminum and install the insert.
- If the tang of the insert does not break off when backing out the installer, break the tang off with a drift.

Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
This vehicle has two different types of ignition lock cylinders based on what type of steering column the vehicle is equipped with. The electric power steering (EPS) option, usually found on 4 cylinder models and the non EPS, usually found on 6 cylinder models, use different ignition lock cylinder designs.
Ignition Lock Cylinder - Non EPS
The non EPS ignition lock cylinder uses 8 of the 10 key cut positions, 1-8 when counting from the key head. The tumbler orientations alternate in adjacent locations from side to side with 4 tumblers on each side.
- Hold the uncoded cylinder assembly (2) positioned so the side with the security plug (3) faces to the left of the key head.
- Insert one tumbler spring (7) into each of the 4 tumbler spring holes.
- The first tumbler (1) to be loaded will be key cut position 1, the first number in the key code. Install this tumbler in the tumbler slot closest to the head of the lock cylinder (2), the end where the key is inserted.
- Advancing one tumbler slot at a time, install tumblers 3, 5 and 7 sequentially on the same side as tumbler 1.
- Turn the lock cylinder over and insert one tumbler spring (7) into each of the 4 tumbler spring holes on the opposite side of the lock cylinder.
- Insert tumbler 2 into the tumbler slot closest to the head of the lock cylinder (2), the end where the key is inserted.
- Advancing one tumbler slot at a time, install tumblers 4, 6 and 8 sequentially on the same side as tumbler 2.
- Check for correct tumbler loading by holding the tumblers (1) in position and inserting the correct key into the lock cylinder. All tumblers (1) should be flush with the housing of the lock cylinder.
- Lightly lubricate the tumblers and small detent recessed areas the tumblers are in with GM Super Lube or equivalent light lithium grease.
- Insert the key into the coded lock cylinder (2) and hold the lock cylinder positioned so the side with the security plug (3) faces to the left of the key head.
- Hold the ignition lock housing positioned so the security plug actuator lever (3) also faces to the right of the key head.
- Push the exposed end of the security plug actuator lever (3) toward the center of the lock cylinder housing (1) and hold it. Insert the coded lock cylinder (2) with the key in it into the ignition lock cylinder housing (1) until the cap is flush with the housing.
- Rotate the keyed lock cylinder counterclockwise slightly until it stops and detents outward slightly. The key should be able to be removed and the lock cylinder should remain in the housing.
- Install the retaining clip (1) onto the coded lock cylinder where it comes out of the back of the lock cylinder housing.
- Install the trim cap (4) on the ignition lock assembly.
Ignition Lock Cylinder - EPS
The ignition lock cylinder used 7 of the 10 key cut positions, 4-10 when counting from the key head. The tumbler (3) orientations alternate in adjacent locations from side to side with 3 on one side and 4 on the other.
- Hold the uncoded cylinder plug (5) positioned so the side with the sidebar slot is facing to the left and the 3 spring holes are on top.
- Insert one tumbler spring (7) each into the 3 tumbler spring holes.
