  3. Remove the stoplamp switch. For additional information, refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    NOTE: Do not service the brake pedal without first removing the stoplamp switch. This switch must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. The switch plunger must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) will result in damage to the switch.
  4. Remove the 3 lower steering column shroud screws and separate the lower steering column shroud from the upper shroud.
  5. Disconnect the 3 electrical connectors from the brake pedal and bracket assembly.
  6. Remove and discard the booster push rod clevis-locking pin.
    NOTE: The booster push rod clevis-locking pin is a one-time use only part. Any time the booster push rod clevis-locking pin is removed, a new booster push rod clevis-locking pin should be used.
    NOTE: Remove the clevis-locking pin by squeezing the locking tabs and pulling outward on the opposite end.
  7. Remove the 2 brake pedal and bracket upper bolts.
    • To install, tighten to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft).
  8. Remove and discard the 4 brake booster nuts.
    • To install, tighten new nuts to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) following a clockwise pattern starting with the lower left nut.
    NOTE: Use only hand tools to remove and install the fasteners or damage to the booster may occur.
  9. From the engine compartment, pull the brake booster toward the front of the vehicle until the brake booster studs are clear of the brake pedal bracket holes.
  10. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
    NOTE: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp switch. This switch must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing this switch with the brake pedal in any other position will result in incorrect adjustment and may damage the switch.
  11. Carry out the Multi-Calibration Routine. Follow the scan tool directions.
