2 - Push Rod

3 - Retaining Tabs

-- Insert the :T10159B and pull in the direction of the driver seat. While doing so, counterhold on the brake pedal (the pedal must not move toward the driver seat at this time). The mount retaining tabs -3- will thereby be pressed off the ball head of the push rod -2-.

For clarity, the process of separating the brake pedal from the brake booster is shown with the pedal assembly removed.

-- Pull the :T10159B and brake pedal together toward the driver seat. (This will pull the brake pedal off of the pushrod ball head).
