Pedal Linkage
The pedal pivots on a pair of thin-wall split plastic bush-
ings. A dry graphite or PTFE-based spray lube may
extend the life of the bushings.
To replace the bushings:
1. Remove the left front fender, as described in the
To Replace a Master Cylinder section of this
chapter.
2. Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin that con-
nect the brake yoke to the brake pedal arm.
See Figure 6.40.
3. Remove the shoulder bolt that supports the
brake pedal arm using 3/4” and 9/16” wrenches.
4. With the bolt removed, the pedal can be pulled
out of the bracket that it mounts to.
See Figure 6.41.

be easily pried-out and replaced.

See Figure 6.42.

support using a pair of 1/2” wrenches.
6b. Loosen the screws that connect the kick
panel to the floor using a 3/8” wrench.
7. Install the brake pedal arm by reversing the
removal process.
8. Test-run the vehicle in a safe area before return-
ing it to service.
