If they are the bolts I'm thinking of, the fronts are larger than the ones in the rear, I seem to recal the fronts needing like a 16 MM wrench and the rears require a 12 or 14MM wrench?
These are the bolts that mount the caliper support frame/bracket to the suspension.
Also I believe the torque is more in the area of 47 ft lbs, not 74.
Perhaps someone else will chime in that can recall a little better than I.

I couldn't find any strong enough to where I felt comfortable using them in this application. So, I went to GM and ordered them.
Let me save you some grief.
Explain to the parts guy that their exploded view drawings DO NOT SHOW THE BOLTS. Don't let him talk you into saying that they do, because they don't.
They will HAVE TO CALL GM AND EXPLAIN THE APPLICATION before you will get the right bolts.
Trust me on this one ...
