  3. Rotate the switch (1) counterclockwise in order to release the switch from the retainer.
  4. Insert the switch (1) into the retainer until the switch is fully seated against the brake pedal arm.

    Measure:  Measure the distance from the end of the barrel on the switch to the pedal arm, ensure that the clearance is 1.5-1.7 mm (1/16 in). If the distance is not correct, perform step  1 and step  2 again.

    Measure:  The following pedal travel statement may be used in order to inspect for proper adjustment of the release switch:

    • The release switch assembly must be closed at 3.5-12.5 mm (1/8-1/2 in) brake pedal travel, measured at the centerline of the brake pedal assembly.
    • Nominal actuation of the release assembly contacts is about 4.5 mm (3/16 in).
