Removal And Installation

All vehicles 

CAUTION: Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster without first removing the stoplamp switch and speed control deactivator switch. These switches must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Switch plungers 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.
1. Remove the stoplamp switch and, if equipped, the speed control deactivator switch (brake).
2. Remove the redundant self-locking pin cover and the self-locking pin.
3. Remove the booster rod pin and bushing from the brake pedal.

4. Remove the speed control deactivator switch (clutch) and position it aside.
5. Disconnect the clutch pedal interlock switch electrical connector.
