Push Rod Adjustment
Check or adjust push rod height whenever master cylinder and power unit are separated, or braking problems are diagnosed as possible push rod maladjustment. Use suitable gauging tool, as indicated, to determine push rod height. If out of adjustment, turn adjusting nut to obtain proper setting. If push rod does not have adjusting nut, obtain adjustable service push rod, or standard replacement push rod, as applicable.
