2. Remove hairpin retainer, then slide switch, pushrod and nylon washers and bushing away from pedal and remove switch.
3. Position switch so U-shaped side is nearest brake pedal and directly over/under pin.
4. Slide switch up/down, trapping master cylinder push rod and blade bushing between switch side plates.
5. Push switch and push rod assembly firmly toward brake pedal arm, then assemble outside white plastic washer to pin and install hairpin retainer to trap whole assembly.
6. Assemble wire harness connector to switch and install wires in retaining clip.
