BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INFORMATION UNDER THE "IMPORTANT" SYMBOL ON PAGE 6A6-20 OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICE MANUAL MUST BE DISREGARDED. TO PROPERLY REFLECT THIS INFORMATION, FIGURES 1 AND 2 OF THIS BULLETIN SHOULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR FIGURES 19 AND 23 ON PAGES 6A6-18 AND 6A6-20 OF THE 1986-87 W4 SERVICE MANUAL.
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.
