INSTALLATION
(1) Make sure the pedal has a properly installed
bushing on each side of the pedal (Fig. 38).
(2) Lubricate the brake pedal pivot shaft and
brake pedal bushings using Mopar Lubriplate or an
equivalent.
(3) Install the brake pedal in the pedal bracket
(Fig. 38). Align the hole in brake pedal with the pivot
shaft holes in the pedal bracket.
(4) Install the brake pedal shaft (Fig. 38).
(5) Install the nut on the end of the brake pedal
pivot shaft. Tighten the nut to a torque of 34 N·m (25
ft. lbs.).
(6) Install the power brake booster input rod on
the brake pedal pin.
CAUTION: When installing the retaining clip on the
brake pedal pin, a NEW retaining clip must be used
to ensure the retention of the power brake booster
input rod.
(7) Install a new retaining clip (Fig. 39) on the
brake pedal pin.
(8) Using Mopar Lubriplate or an equivalent,
lightly lubricate the surface of the brake pedal
striker where the plunger of the brake lamp switch
contacts it.
NOTE: Prior to installing the brake lamp switch into
its bracket, the plunger must be moved to its fully
extended position using the procedure in Step 9.
(9) Hold brake lamp switch firmly in one hand.
Using other hand, pull outward on the plunger of the
brake lamp switch until it has ratcheted out to its
fully extended position.
(10) Install the brake lamp switch in the brake
pedal bracket (Fig. 38). Install it using the following
procedure. Depress the brake pedal as far down as
possible. Then while holding brake pedal down, align
the index key on switch with notch in square hole of
mounting bracket. When the switch is fully installed
into the bracket, rotate the switch in a clockwise
direction approximately 30 degrees until it locks into
place.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when pulling
back on brake pedal to adjust the brake lamp
switch. If to much force is used, damage to the
brake lamp switch or striker can result.
(11) Gently release/pull back the brake pedal until
it stops moving. This will cause the switch plunger to
ratchet back to its correctly adjusted position.
(12) Connect the remote ground cable to the
ground stud on the right front strut tower.
(13) Check the operation of the brake lamps.

nector on the side of the master cylinder reservoir.

ter cylinder to the vacuum booster.
