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 10
| 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.
Ignition Lock Cylinder
- Tumbler spring (2) and tumbler (3) to be assembled into cylinder (1)-In this case start with the tumbler near the cylinder head and work through until the last tumbler at the cylinder ground. Use the key as tool by pushing it in step by step to hold the already assembled tumblers in place.
- Slide piece (4) to be assembled into the pocket in cylinder (1).
- Apply grease on the cylinder diameter.
- Assemble the rotor case (5) and sub-assembly.
- Remove the key.
- Install the C-ring (6) to the bottom of the cylinder.
Front Side Door Lock Cylinder
- Tumbler spring (2) and tumbler (3) to be assembled into cylinder (1)-In this case start with the tumbler near the cylinder head and work through until the last tumbler at the cylinder ground. Use the key as tool by pushing it in step by step to hold the already assembled tumblers in place.
- Apply grease on the cylinder diameter.
- Assemble the rotor case (5) and sub-assembly.
- Remove the key.
- Install the return spring (5) and lever (6).
- Install the E-ring (6) to the bottom of the cylinder.
- Install and stake the rotor case cover (8) onto the head of the rotor case (5) by crimping the cover material in 2 places into the pockets around the head of the rotor case.
Liftgate Lock Cylinder
- Tumbler spring (2) and tumbler (3) to be assembled into cylinder (1)-In this case start with the tumbler near the cylinder head and work through until the last tumbler at the cylinder ground. Use the key as tool by pushing it in step by step to hold the already assembled tumblers in place.
- Apply grease on the cylinder diameter.
- Assemble the rotor case (5) and sub-assembly.
- Remove the key.
- Install the return spring (5) and lever (6).
- Install the E-ring (6) to the bottom of the cylinder.
- Install and stake the rotor case cover (8) onto the head of the rotor case (5) by crimping the cover material in 2 places into the pockets around the head of the rotor case.
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
Note. The use of a LOW PROFILE LIFT ARMS SYSTEM may be required to avoid unwanted contact with the vehicle body and structure depending on lifting equipment used. Refer to the manufacturer recommendation for their applications of low profile lift arms system for their lifting equipment.
Scheme 11
| WARNING | To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist. |
| WARNING | To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands to support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack. |
| CAUTION | Perform the following steps before beginning any vehicle lifting or jacking procedure: Remove or secure all of the vehicle contents in order to avoid any shifting or any movement that may occur during the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure. The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment weight rating must meet or exceed the weight of the vehicle and any vehicle contents. The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment must meet the operational standards of the lifting equipment or jacking equipment manufacturer. Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure on a clean, hard, dry, level surface. Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure only at the identified lift points. DO NOT allow the lifting equipment or jacking equipment to contact any other vehicle components. Failure to perform the previous steps could result in damage to the lifting equipment or the jacking equipment, the vehicle, and/or the vehicle contents. |
Vehicle Lifting- Frame Contact Lift
Front Lift Pads
When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the front lift pads on the rocker outer panel weld flange, as shown.
Rear Lift Pads
When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the rear lift pads on the rocker outer panel weld flange, as shown.
Vehicle Jacking
| CAUTION | When you are jacking the vehicle at the front locations, be certain that the jack or the jack lift pad does not contact the front fascia, front fascia air dam, or the front fenders. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage may result. When jacking at selected front locations additional clearance may be required for the jacking points. |
Note. When you are lifting a vehicle with a service jack, block the wheels at the opposite end from which you are lifting. Use jack stands to provide additional support.
When using a service jack under the front of the vehicle use one of the following locations
Front of Vehicle
Place the service jack pad in the same location as shown for the front lift pads.
Rear of Vehicle
Note. Place jackstands ONLY under strong and stable vehicle structures.
Place the service jack pad in the same location as shown for the rear lift pads.
