2 -Pressure rod

3 - Retaining tabs

-- Insert the Brake Servo Release Tool:T10159A and pull in the direction of the driver seat. When doing this, counter-hold on the brake pedal. (the brake pedal must not be allowed to move backward at this time). The mount retaining tabs -3- will thereby be pressed off the ball head of the pushrod -2-.

The process of separating the brake pedal from the brake booster is shown with the pedal assembly removed.

-- Pull the Brake Servo Release Tool:T10159A and brake pedal together toward the driver seat. (This will pull the brake pedal off the push rod ball head).
