Is yours a pre or post facelift CTS?

The problem with the Lift bolts IIRC was only on pre facelifts

There is a walkthrough somewhere on here with step by step instructions to change them yourself

As Gaz said, it was only an "issue" on the pre-facelift, but there's nothing stopping you replacing them if you have a facelift model.

The thread Gaz was talking about was created by a guy called Juan from Spain. Here's a link lift off!!

the new ones wear too!

easy job - make sure you use the torque settings as ally is very soft.

Here's another guide (link given when I posed the same question recently) with an excellent annotated procedure showing the removal of a sheared, as well as a non-sheared bolt.
