REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with "live" exposed electrical terminals, disconnect the negative battery cable to help prevent personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or components. Unless instructed otherwise, the ignition switch must be in the "OFF" or "LOCK" position.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the left side instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Warning Indicators.
3. Remove the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). Refer to Antilock Brakes.
4. Remove the following components from the pedal with the bracket. Refer to Stoplamp Switch Replacement.
^ Cruise control release switch
^ Stoplamp and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) switch
^ Cruise control clutch switch or cruise control clutch anticipate switch
5. Remove the clutch start switch from the brake pedal with the bracket, if equipped with a manual transmission.





6. Remove the accelerator pedal (11).
7. Remove the following components from the brake pedal pin (9):
^ The brake pedal pushrod pin retainer (5)

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Important: When installing the brake pedal with the bracket, ensure that the dash panel insulator material does not get pinched between the brake pedal and the dash panel.





1. Install the brake pedal with the bracket (13).





2. Install the clutch master cylinder nuts (13), if equipped with a manual transmission.

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the brake pedal nuts (3) and brake pedal bracket bolts/screws (1).

Tighten:
^ Tighten the clutch master cylinder nuts (13) to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.), if equipped with a manual transmission.
