on the Super Hydra-Matic. In case of emergency, it is possible to
use any good grade of20W engine oil. Replace engine oil with
fluid as soon as possible.
PARKING BRAKE CABLES-Lubricate brake cables yearly
erably in the fall) or when the rear wheels and brake drums are
to inspect or replace brake lining or to make a major brake adjustment.
Lubricate with Lubriplate No. 105, Delco Brake Lubricant or Bendix
Brake Lubricant.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER-If there is evidence of leakage in
the brake hydraulic system, the leak should be corrected and fluid
added as required; tltherwise, fluid level need be checked only when
brakes are adjusted. When adding brake fluid use GM or Delco Super
11 Brake Fluid, or any S.A.E. 70Rl grade brake fluid. Inferior fluids
are capable of damaging the entire hydraulic system.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS-The front wheel bearings should
be lubricated only when it is necessary to remove the wheels and drums
for other work such as brake relining. The amount of special quality
water resistant and high melting point lubricant used at the time of
manufacture is entirely adequate for this
period.
Packing the hubs is
undesirable because the lubricant may leak onto the brake lining
causing failure. If the wheel bearings are found to be discolored
(turning blue or
straw
colored) it does not mean that they have been
overheated due to lack of
·
l ubricant. This discoloration is merely a
chemical reaction of
substances
in the lubricant and does not
