Brake Pedal Replacement

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 brake pedal pin (10):
^ The brake pedal pushrod pin retainer (7)
^ The brake pedal pushrod (8)
^ The brake pedal pushrod washer (11)





5. Remove the brake pedal pivot nut (12).
6. Slide out the brake pedal pivot bolt/screw (2) partway in order to give enough clearance in order to remove the brake pedal (7).
7. Remove the brake pedal (7).
8. Remove the brake pedal pivot bushings (10) from the brake pedal (7), if necessary.
9. Remove the brake pedal pivot spacer (8) from the brake pedal (7), if necessary.
10. Clean all the components. Use a suitable solvent.
11. Inspect all the components for wear. Repair or replace the components as needed.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE





1. Install the brake pedal pivot spacer (8) to the brake pedal (7), if removed.
2. Install the brake pedal pivot bushings (10) to the brake pedal (7), if removed.
3. Install the brake pedal (7).
4. Lubricate the brake pedal pivot bolt/screw (2) with chassis lubricant.

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.

5. Install the brake pedal pivot bolt/screw (2) and the brake pedal pivot nut (12).

Tighten the brake pedal pivot nut (12) to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).





6. Lubricate the brake pedal pin (10) with chassis lubricant.
7. Install the following components to the brake pedal pin (10):
^ The brake pedal pushrod pin retainer (7)
^ The brake pedal pushrod (8)
^ The brake pedal pushrod washer (11)
8. Install the EBCM. Refer to Antilock Brakes.
9. Install the left side instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Warning Indicators.
10. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten the negative battery cable to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).

11. Adjust the following components. Refer to Stoplamp Switch Adjustment.
^ Cruise control release switch
^ Stoplamp and TCC switch
^ Cruise control clutch switch or cruise control clutch anticipate switch
