(4) Tighten the clevis lock nut.

Torque:

26 N·m {260 kgf·cm, 19 ft·lbf}

(5) Install the clip and clevis pin.

  • If the pedal height is incorrect even when the rod operating adapter is adjusted, check that there is no damage in the brake pedal, brake pedal lever, brake pedal bracket or dash panel.
  • Even if there is damage, there is no problem if the reserve distance is within the standard value.
  • If necessary, replace the parts.

2. INSPECT AND ADJUST STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

  • Take care not to depress the pedal during the operation.

(d) Make a quarter turn clockwise to install the stop light switch.

NOTICE:

The turning torque for installing the stop light switch:

Torque:

1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm, 13 in·lbf}

or less

(e) Check the protrusion of the rod.

Protrusion of the rod:

0.5 to 2.6 mm (0.020 to 0.102 in.)

(f) Connect the stop light switch connector to the stop light switch.

3. INSPECT PEDAL FREE PLAY

(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.

(b) Push in the pedal until the beginning of the resistance is felt. Measure the distance as shown.

Pedal free play:

1 to 6 mm (0.04 to 0.24 in.)

4. INSPECT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
