PRECAUTIONS

Creams are available to protect the skin from a con-

dition known as occupational, or contact dermatitis. This

common type of dermatitis is not contagious. Improved

resin formulas in the approved kits have almost elimi-

nated skin irritation. Cream is supplied with the kit for

men who may have a tendency toward skin irritation

from the resins or dust.

The application of these creams is recommended

whenever the Resin Kit materials are used. Generally,

the cream is not required when the plastic solder kit is

being used. Directions for using the cream is as follows:

a. Wash hands clean. Dry thoroughly.

b.
Squeeze about 1/2 inch (or 1/2 teaspoonful) of

#71 cream into palm of hand.

c. Spread evenly and lightly until cream disappears.

Work cream into cuticle, between fingers and

around wrists.

d. Apply second coat, repeating Steps b and c.

e. Hold hands briefly under cold running water to

set cream.

2.
Remove resin mixture from hands as soon as possi-

ble and imperatively before mixture starts to gel.

This can be observed by the action of the material

being used. Resin may be removed with lacquer

thinner by washing in soap and water.

3.
Respirators are recommended when grinding. Also

some minor skin irritation from glass and powdered

cured resin may be evident. Washing in cold water

will help to minimize.

4.
Use a belt sander with a vacuum attachment for dust

control if possible.
5. Resin mixtures may produce toxic fumes and should

be used in well ventilated areas.

6. Be careful not to get any resin material on clothing.

7. Use the right materials for the job. It is important

to use the approved kits because Chevrolet's rigid

quality standards assure you the right material to

do the job. Other materials available may not meet

the required engineering and safety standards.

8. Keep the materials, utensils and work area clean

and dry. These repairs involve chemical reactions,

and dirt or moisture may upset the chemical bal-

ances and produce unsatisfactory results.

9. Before starting repair operations, look for hidden

damage by applying pressure around the damaged

area, looking for hairline cracks and other breakage.

Check for minor damage at other points in the vehi-

cle such as around exhaust pipes, grille, headlamps

and points of wear or rub. Early repair of this

minor damage may prevent major repair later.

PLASTIC SOLDER
KIT

The Plastic Solder Repair Kit is used for minor re-

pairs on the Corvette body. These materials will produce

an easy, quick and lasting repair in the case of small

cracks, surface imperfections and small holes.

1.
Use paint remover or power sander, and remove

finish from damaged area. Carefully inspect for

other areas requiring repair.

2.
Mix the materials (fig. 72).

3.
Apply the material, using a putty knife or rubber

squeegee, Figure 73. Work the material into the

repair and build the material up to the desired

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CHEVROLET AND CHEVELLE

Frames used on Chevrolet and Cheveile lines are basi-

cally the same, consisting of full length right and left

side members joined laterally by crossmembers. Sev-

eral different frames are used in each line to meet the

various vehicle size and function requirements but the

basic shape for each line remains the same. Differences

between frames in a given line exist only in metal gauge,

part size and numbers of parts necessary to meet the

particular structural requirements of the models

involved.

CORVETTE

The Corvette frame is a rigid perimeter unit, with five
crossmembers. From the rear kick-up forward, trap-

azoidal shaped, closed side members outline and protect

the passenger compartment. At the cowl area, the side

members curve inward in a sweeping "S" shape, to pro-

vide a sturdy foundation for the engine mounts and clear-

ance for front wheel movement. From the kick-up

rearward, box-sectioned side rails provide fore and aft

support for the rear axle and suspension. Lateral sup-

port is provided by five variously shaped welded-in

crossmembers, including the front unit, which formerly

was bolted-in.

CHEVY II AND CAMARO

Underbody alignment checking procedures will be found

in the Body Service Manual.

REPAIR PROCEDURES

CHECKING FRAME ALIGNMENT

Vehicles involved in an accident of any nature which

might result in a "swayed" or "sprung" frame should

always be checked for proper frame alingment in addi-

tion to steering geometry and wheel alignment.

CAR PREPARATION

Preparing the car for the frame alignment check in-

volves the following:

1.
Place the car on level surface.

2.
The weight of the car should be supported at the

wheel locations.

3.
A visual damage inspection should be made to elim-

inate needless measuring. Obviously damaged or

misaligned areas can often be located by sight.

TRAMMING SEQUENCE

When checking a frame for alignment in case of dam-

age,
the first step is horizontal "X" checking with a

tram from similar given points on opposite side of the

frame.

Frame alignment checks on all models should be made

with the tram points set at the center of each locating

point indicated and the cross bar level to insure

accuracy.

When "X" checking any section of the frame, the

measurements should agree within 3/16". If they do not,
it means that corrections will have to be made.

If a tram gauge is not available, the "plumb bob"

method of checking may be used. To assure any degree

of accuracy when using this method, the vehicle should

be on a level floor.

By using this method, it is only necessary to have a
#

piece of cord attached to an ordinary surveyor's plumb

bob.
When measuring the distance between two points,

the free end of the cord should be placed on the reference

point allowing the plumb bob to hang on the floor. A check

mark should be made on the floor just under the tip of

the plumb bob. This operation should be repeated at all

reference points. With these points located on the floor,

they may easily be measured with a rule.

The second step is checking the vertical dimensions

from the datum plane to the points to be trammed. With

the proper settings the tram bar will be on a plane

parallel to that of the frame. The exception to this would '

be when one of the reference locations is included in the

misaligned area; then the parallel plane between the

frame and the tram bar may not prevail. After com-

pletion of the repairs, the tram gauge should be set at

the specified dimension to check the accuracy of the re-

pair operation.

ALIGNMENT REFERENCE POINT DIMENSIONS

Dimensions to holes are measured to dead center of

the holes and flush to the adjacent surface metal.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Maintenance intervals recommended for lubrication of

front suspension components have been fully covered in

Section 0 of this manual. Only actual adjustment proce-

dures will be covered here.

NOTE:
Unless otherwise indicated all proce-

dures will apply to all five vehicles covered in

this manual.

FRONT WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT

Proper front wheel bearing adjustment has a definite

bearing on the safe operation of a vehicle. Improperly

adjusted front wheel bearings will result in a lack of

steering stability causing wheel wander, shimmy and ex-

cessive tire wear. Very accurate adjustment is possible

because the spindles are drilled both vertically and hori-

zontally and the adjusting nuts are slotted in all six sides.

NOTE:
Wheel bearings should not
be.
repacked

or adjusted as a part of "New Car Conditioning".
1.
With wheel raised, remove hub cap and dust cap and

then remove the cotter pin from the end of the

spindle.

2.
While rotating wheel, tighten spindle nut to 12 lbs. ft

torque.

3.
Back off adjusting nut one flat and insert cotter pin.

If slot and pin hole do not line up, back off the adjust-

ing nut an additional 1/2 flat or less as required to

insert cotter pin.

4.
Spin the wheel to check that it rolls freely and then

lock the cotter pin by spreading the end and bending

it around.

NOTE:
Bearings should have zero preload and

.001"
to .008" end movement when properly ad-

justed on Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro and Cor-

vette; .000" to .004" on Chevy H.

5.
Install dust cap, hub cap or wheel disc and lower

wheel.

6. Perform the same operation on each front wheel.

REAR SUSPENSION AND DRIVE LINE 4-29

REAR AXLE NOISE DIAGNOSIS

Mechanical failures of the rear axle are relatively

simple to locate and correct. Noise in a rear axle is a

little more difficult to diagnose and repair. One of the

most essential parts of rear axle service is proper

diagnosis.

Ail rear axles are noisy to a certain degree. The

action of transmitting the high engine torque through a

90° turn reducing propeller shaft speed produces noise

in rear axles. This point establishes the need for a line

between normal and abnormal or unacceptable axle

noises.

Slight axle noise heard only at a certain speed or under

remote conditions must be considered normal. Axle noise

tends to "peak" at varying speeds and the noise is in no

way indicative of trouble in the axle.

If noise is present in an objectionable form, loud or at

all speeds, an effort should be made to isolate the noise

as being in one particular unit of the vehicle. Axle noise

is often confused with other noises such as tire noise,

transmission noise, propeller shaft vibration and uni-

versal joint noise. Isolation of the noise as in any one

unit requires skill and experience. An attempt to elimini-

ate a slight noise may baffle even the best of diagnos-

ticians. Such practices as raising tire pressure to

eliminate tire noise, listening for the noise at varying

speeds and on drive, float and coast, and under proper

highway conditions, turning the steering wheel from left

to right to detect wheel bearing noise, will aid even the

beginner in detecting alleged axle noises. Axle noises

fall into two categories: gear noise and bearing noise.

GEAR NOISE

Abnormal gear noise can be recognized since it pro-

duces a cycling pitch and will be very pronounced in the

speed range at which it occurs, appearing under either

"drive," "float" or "coast" conditions. Gear noise

tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges, while

bearing noise will tend to remain constant in pitch. Ab-

normal gear noise is rare and usually originates from

the scoring of the ring gear and pinion teeth as a result

of insufficient or improper lubrication in new assemblies.

Side gears seldom give trouble as they are used only

when the rear wheels travel at different speeds.

BEARING NOISE

Defective bearings will always produce a whine that is

constant in pitch and varies with vehicle speed. This fact

will allow you to distinguish between bearing noise and

gear noise.

1.
Pinion bearing noise resulting from a bearing failure

can be identified by a constant rough sound. Pinion

bearings are rotating at a higher speed than differen-

tial side bearings or axle shaft bearings. This

particular noise can be picked up best by testing the

car on a smooth road (black top). However, care

should be taken not to confuse tire noise with bear-

ing or gear noise. If any doubt exists, tire treads

should be examined for irregularities that would

produce such noise.

2.
Wheel bearing noise may be confused with rear axle

noise. To differentiate between wheel bearings and

rear axle, drive the vehicle on a smooth road at

medium-low speed. With traffic permitting, turn
Fig.
74—Scored Hypoid Ring Gear

the vehicle sharply right and left. If noise is caused

by wheel bearings, it will increase in the turns be-

cause of the side loading. If noise cannot be isolated

to front or rear wheel bearings, inspection will be

necessary.

3.
Side bearings will produce a constant rough noise of

a slower nature than pinion bearings. Side bearing

noise will not fluctuate in the above wheel bearing

test.

Failure Analysis

The most common types of rear axle failures are

hypoid gear tooth scoring and fracture, differential gear

fracture. and/or differential bearing failure, and axle

shaft bearing failure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All 1967 models are equipped with a new split brake

system as a safety feature. If a wheel cylinder or brake

line should fail at either the front end or rear end of

the vehicle, the operator can still bring the vehicle to

a controlled stop. The system is designed with separate

hydraulic systems for the front and rear brake using

a dual master cylinder (fig. 1). The design of the master

cylinder is similar to that used on the 1966 Corvette

in that it has two entirely separate reservoirs and outlets

in a common body casting. The front reservoir and outlet

is connected to the front wheel brakes, and the rear

reservoir and outlet is connected to the rear wheel

brakes. Two pistons within the master cylinder receive

mechanical pressure from the brake pedal push rod and

transmit it through the brake lines as hydraulic pressure

to the wheel cylinders. The filler cap is accessible from

inside the engine compartment.

A new brake pipe distribution and switch assembly

is mounted below the main cylinder. The front and rear

hydraulic brake lines are routed from the main cylinder,

through the brake pipe distribution and switch assembly,

to the front and rear brakes as shown in Figure 2. The

switch is wired electrically to the brake alarm indicator

light on the instrument panel. In the event of fluid loss

in either the front or rear brake system the indicator

on the instrument panel will illuminate red. (The indi-
cator will also' be illuminated when the parking brake is

applied.)

On Camaro models equipped with air conditioning, the

rear brake hydraulic line is routed through a pressure

regulator valve mounted on the left frame side rail

(fig. 3). The valve controls the hydraulic pressure to

the rear brakes resulting in the correct pressure balance

between the front and rear hydraulic systems.

The self-adjusting brakes (fig. 4), used on both front

and rear of all models, are the Duo-Servo single anchor

type which utilize the momentum of the vehicle to assist

in the brake application. The self-energizing or
self-

actuating force is applied to both brake shoes at each

wheel in both forward and reverse motion. The brake

shoe linings are bonded to the shoes.

Wheel cylinders are the double piston type permitting

even distribution of pressure to each brake shoe. To

keep out dust and moisture, both ejads of each wheel

cylinder are sealed with a rubber booC The wheel

cylinders have no adjustments.

The Chevrolet, Chevelle, and Camaro parking brakes

have a foot operated ratchet type pedal mounted to the

left of the steering column. A cable assembly connects

the pedal to an intermediate cable by means of an equal-

izer, where the adjustment for the parking brake is

incorporated. The intermediate cable attaches to the
