Read WARNING on page 5-1.
1. Adjust brake pedal height.
1.1. Chock wheels and release park brake. Lift rear of vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. Position
jack stands under the axle tubes and lower the vehicle to let the jack stands support the vehicle.
See Figure 9-2, Section 9, Page 9-3. See also WARNING on page 5-1.
1.2. To provide slack in the brake cables, loosen the equalizer retaining nuts (2 and 3) on the equalizer
rod (1) (Figure 5-7, Page 5-8 and Figure 5-8, Page 5-8).
1.3. Loosen the brake stop jam nut (31), then relieve pedal pressure on the stop by pushing down
slightly on the pedal. Next, adjust the brake stop bumper (22) up or down (Figure 5-9, Page 5-8).
Adjusting the bumper upward decreases distance between pedal and floorboard. Adjusting the
bumper downward increases distance between pedal and floorboard. Proper brake pedal height
is 6 inches (15.2 cm) (Figure 5-10, Page 5-8).
1.4. Tighten the jam nut (31) to 8 ft-lb (9.5 N·m) (Figure 5-9, Page 5-8)
