NOTE:
Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster 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.
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 must be used.
NOTE:
Remove the clevis-locking pin by squeezing the locking tabs and pulling outward on the opposite end.
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.
