This bulletin addresses changes to the published Pontiac Labor Time Guide; May and June changes are attached. These changes are the result of dealer "Requests For Review" being handled by C-P-C Technical Service Activity.
These updates will be included in future 1987 Labor Time Guide revisions. In the case of past model year updates, it is recommended that this bulletin be retained with all appropriate model year Labor Time Guides, as a complete revision will not be provided.

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.
