support frame. It consists of the brake pedal,
bracket, push rod, and pedal return spring.
Fig. 7 Brake Pedal Assembly
OPERATION
The brake pedal pivots on a shaft mounted on the
bracket. Foot pressure causes downward motion of
the pedal, forcing a push rod against a piston in the
master cylinder. When foot pressure against brake
pedal is released, a return spring forces the pedal
(and push rod) back to its original position, relieving
pressure in master cylinder.
REMOVAL
1. Remove upper and lower dash panels. See
Dash Upper Panel and Dash Lower Panel in
Body section.
2. Remove the four bolts attaching pedal
assembly to dash support frame
3. Remove the brake pedal assembly.
