Brake Pedal Height & Free Play
- Separate connector from stoplight switch and loosen lock nut. Position switch so that it does not contact brake pedal arm. Adjust brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod (yoke, if equipped) until the correct distance from top of brake pedal to floor board is achieved.
- DO NOT depress push rod. Tighten lock nut and confirm that brake pedal height is within specification. See BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table. Start engine to evacuate brake booster chamber. Stop engine and apply brake several times to remove vacuum from brake booster.
- Using hand pressure, depress brake pedal to measure amount of free play before resistance is felt. If distance is incorrect, bleed system and check for misadjusted brakes.
