Retaining lugs

-- Insert T10159 and pull in direction of driver seat. When doing this, counter-hold on brake pedal. (At this moment the pedal must not be allowed to move backward). The mounting retaining lugs -3- will thereby be pressed off the ball head of the push rod -2-.

For ease of illustration separating the brake pedal from the brake booster is shown with the pedal assembly removed.

-- Pull T10159 and brake pedal together toward the driver seat. (The brake pedal will thereby be pulled off the ball head of the push rod).

Connecting

-- Hold ball head of push rod in front of mounting and push brake pedal in direction of brake booster, so the ball head locates audibly.
