Fig. 6.8. Pedal assembly with bracket
Remove the bracket together with the brake pedal (Fig. 6.8).
Examination
Assess the degree of wear on the pedal bushings.
Make sure there is no deformation of the pedal.
Check the return spring.
Check the brake light switch.
Fig. 6.9. Measuring the resistance between the switch terminals
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the switch terminals (Fig. 6.9).
If the circuit is open when the switch pusher is pressed (infinite resistance), and there is one when the pusher is released (zero resistance), the switch is normal.
Installation
Installation is carried out in reverse order.
