LOOSE TURBO WHEEL COVERS 1982 FIREBIRD

The information in this bulletin supersedes bulletin 82-T-61 published in May.

Some 1982 Firebirds with turbo wheels may have wheel covers that are loose and rattle or fall off. Wheels with this condition can be repaired using the following procedure.

1. Note position of wheel cover to wheel as it fits in only one position. Remove wheel cover from wheel.

2. Install five (5) clips per wheel cover (part number 1245581) on the cover retaining flanges as shown below.

3. To reinstall wheel cover on wheel, place cover in its original position and use a rubber mallet (tapping at outer edge only) to knock it on.

NOTICE: If the cover is difficult to reinstall, remove one or two (1 or 2) clips. Pounding on the cover may break the retaining flanges. The procedure above does not apply to Modern wheels built after March 1982 or Western wheels built after May 1982.

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.
