3. NOTICE: Do not service the brake pedal without first removing the stoplamp switch. Remove this switch with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Attempting to remove the switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) results in damage to the switch.

Remove the stoplamp switch. For additional information, refer to Exterior Lighting Service and Repair.

4. NOTE: Use an 11 mm, 12-point socket or wrench to compress the 2 tabs on the brake pedal arm pin.

Remove and discard the brake pedal pin, then disconnect the brake booster push rod from the brake pedal arm.

6. Remove the 4 brake booster-to-pedal bracket nuts.

8. NOTICE: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp switch. Install this switch with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing this switch with the pedal in any other position results in incorrect adjustment and damages the switch.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
