Removal And Installation

    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. For additional information, refer to EXTERIOR LIGHTING article.
  2. Remove the instrument panel. For additional information, refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE article.
  3. Remove the brake booster push rod pin clip and pin, then disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal arm.
