Removal
Remove the brake light switch.
Remove the cotter pin and pull out the tie rod pin.
Fig. 6.16. Brake pedal bracket mounting nuts
Loosen the nuts securing the brake pedal bracket (Fig. 6.16).
Remove the bracket together with the brake pedal.
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. 6.17. Measuring the resistance between the switch terminals
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the switch terminals (Fig. 6.17).
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.
Note: Don't forget to secure the earring pin with a cotter pin.
Tighten the pedal bracket mounting nuts to the specified torque of 13–16 N·m.
Adjust the pedal height and free play.
Install the brake light switch.
