2002 Cadillac Escalade EXTFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Installation Procedure

  1. Install the WSS (5) into the hub/bearing assembly (4).
    CAUTION: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  2. Install the WSS mounting bolt. Tighten the WSS mounting bolt to 18 N.m (13 lbs ft).
