Brake Pedal Assy: Service and Repair




Brake Pedal and Bracket










1. Remove the steering column.

2. Disconnect the accelerator pedal sensor electrical connector and detach the wire harness from the brake pedal assembly.

3. NOTICE: Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster without first removing the stoplamp switch. The switch must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. The switch plunger must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) will result in damage to the switch.

Remove the stoplamp switch.

4. NOTE: The booster push rod clevis locking pin is a one-time-use only part. Any time the pin is removed, a new one must be installed.
Remove and discard the booster push rod locking pin.


5. Remove the 4 brake booster nuts.
- To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).


6. Position the brake booster forward enough to allow the brake booster studs to clear the brake pedal assembly.

7. Remove the lower brake pedal bracket bolt, under the accelerator pedal, from the brake pedal bracket assembly.
- To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).


8. Remove the upper 2 brake pedal bracket bolts from the brake pedal bracket assembly.
- To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).


9. Disconnect the vehicle electrical harness locators and remove the brake pedal bracket assembly from the vehicle.

10. NOTICE: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp switch. The switch must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing the switch with the brake pedal in any other position will result in incorrect adjustment and may damage the switch.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
