Repair and Diagnosis: Service Precautions

If a floor jack is used, the following precautions are recommended:
- Park the vehicle on level ground, "block" the front or the rear wheels, set the jack against the frame, raise the vehicle, and support it with chassis stands.
- Before performing the service operation, disconnect the negative battery cable to reduce the chance of cable damage and burning due to short-circuiting.
- Use a cover on the body, the seats, and the floor to protect them against damage and contamination.
- Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with care as they can cause paint damage.
- The use of proper tools, and the required special tools where specified, is important for efficient and reliable performance of the service repairs.
- Use genuine DAEWOO parts.
- Discard used cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers and self-locking nuts. Prepare new ones for installation. Normal functioning of the vehicle's components cannot be maintained if these fasteners and seals are reused.
- Keep the disassembled parts to assist in reassembly.
- Keep attaching bolts and nuts separated, as they vary in hardness and design depending on the position of the installation.
- Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
- Clean the oil parts, etc. Use compressed air to make certain they are free of restrictions.
- Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of parts with oil or grease before installation.
- When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leakage.
- Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut torques.

When service operation is complete, make a final check to be sure service was done properly and the problem was corrected.
