  2. Turn the brake pedal position switch counterclockwise, and pull it back until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
  3. Remove the driver's side kick panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREAS ).
  4. Remove the footrest (see step 2 under CARPET REPLACEMENT ).
  5. Pull back the carpet, and find the cutout (A) in the insulation. Measure the pedal height (B) from the left side middle of the pedal pad (C) to the floor (D) without the insulation.
