AXLE LUBE CHANGE USE OF SMALLER SUCTION HOSE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984 Corvette

Due to the reduced size of the differential housing on the above models, it may be difficult to remove axle lubricant. Therefore a reduced size hose diameter should be used on the suction gun to remove the lubricant. The reduced hose diameter will allow the hose to clear the head of the pinion gear allowing access the bottom of the housing.

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.
