ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMOVAL – GASOLINE VEHICLES
1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery-Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-5.
2. Place chocks under the rear wheels and lift the front end of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. Place
jack stands under the front cross tube of the vehicle frame and lower the vehicle onto the jack stands.
See
following WARNING.
WARNING
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic floor
jack) with 1000 lb (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised
position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the vehicle and chock
the wheels that remain on the floor. When not performing a test or service procedure that requires
movement of the wheels, lock the brakes.
3. Disconnect the accelerator rod assembly (17, 24, and 25) (Figure 5-6, Page 5-6) at the front and rear ball studs
and remove it from the vehicle.
4. Use a 9/16-inch (14 mm) socket and 9/16-inch (14 mm) wrench to remove the nut (7), two washers (5), and bolt
(4) securing the accelerator pedal (1) to the pivot rod (6).
5. Remove the nut (10) and ball stud (8) from the accelerator pivot rod assembly (6).
6. Slide the spring retainer (11) off of the accelerator pivot rod.
7. Inspect the pivot support bearing (9) for wear and replace if necessary.
8. Use a marker to mark the position of the park brake ratchet (23) on the accelerator pivot rod (6). See following
NOTE.
NOTE: Failure to mark position of the ratchet could cause it to be reinstalled improperly, resulting in improper
adjustment and possible failure of the park brake.
9. Remove the lock nut (26) from the accelerator pivot rod (Figure 5-6, Page 5-6) .
10. Press the brake pedal slightly and slide the park brake ratchet (23) toward the end of the accelerator pivot rod.
Rotate the ratchet and remove it from the pivot rod.
11. Remove the pivot rod (6) and spacer (20) from the accelerator pivot rod supports (21).
12. Inspect the accelerator pivot rod supports (21) for wear and damage and replace if necessary. If the pivot
rod supports do not require replacement, loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (22) and lock nuts (18) to
make installation of the pivot rod easier.
