Brake Cluster Removal and Installation

TEST DRIVE VEHICLE

1. With the vehicle on a level surface, release the park brake and push the vehicle by hand. If brake drag exists,
readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equalization on page 6-11. See also Final Brake
Cluster Adjustment on page 6-11.
2. Pedal free play should be less than 1 inch (2.5 cm). If free play exceeds 1 inch (2.5 cm), check pedal group
adjustment, and readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equalization on page 6-11. See also
Final Brake Cluster Adjustment on page 6-11. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Brake pedal free play is the distance the brake pedal can be pressed before the brake actuator arm (at the
brake cluster) moves.
3. Test drive vehicle. Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate
pressure, it should not go more than halfway to floor, and the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If
the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, check pedal group
adjustment, and readjust cable tension and brakes. See Brake Cable Equalization on page 6-11. See also
Final Brake Cluster Adjustment on page 6-11. Brake adjustment must be maintained so the brake pedal
cannot be pressed to the floor under any circumstance.
