ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL GROUP
Figure 5-13 Accelerator Pedal Height Measurement
4.5. With park brake still locked, measure the distance from the top of accelerator pedal to floorboard. If the
measurement has changed, ratchet tooth engagement is too deep and must be adjusted.
4.6. If ratchet/pawl engagement must be adjusted, disconnect the ball joint at the top of the brake rod and rotate
the ball joint sleeve clockwise to increase engagement or counterclockwise to decrease engagement.
Reconnect ball joint (Figure 5-15, Page 5-13).
4.7. If the accelerator push rod was disconnected from the accelerator pedal, reconnect it.
4.8. Check for proper brake operation prior to driving the vehicle.

5. Adjust accelerator pedal height.
5.1. Loosen the nut and bolt (Figure 5-16, Page 5-13) securing the accelerator pedal to the pivot plate. Clamp
the accelerator pedal adjustment tool (CC P/N 101871001) to the accelerator pedal, with the end marked
accelerator pedal height closest to the floorboard. Press the accelerator pedal until the end of the tool rests
against the floorboard; pedal height should be 5-5/8 inches (14.3 cm). Use a rubber strap to hold pedal in
position against the floorboard and then tighten nut to 26 ft·lb (35.3 N·m) (Figure 5-17, Page 5-14).
