3.2. Tighten the nut (2) on the equalizer rod (1) so that the brake pedal free play is 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (6
mm to 13 mm) (Figure 5-3, Page 5-3).
3.3. Tighten the jam nut (3) while holding the adjustment nut (2) in the correct position.
4. Adjust park brake ratchet/pawl gap and pawl engagement.
4.1. Inspect the park brake pawl and ratchet for excessive wear, grooves, cracks, or chips. If either the pawl or
ratchet is damaged, both must be replaced.
4.2. Adjust retaining nut (7) on spring support rod until there is a 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) gap between the pawl
and the tips of the ratchet teeth. Use a feeler gauge to verify the gap (Figure 5-12, Page 5-12). The gap
should be consistent through range of pawl movement. If the gap is not consistent, loosen the four bolts (6)
securing the accelerator pivot rod supports and adjust the supports. If the gap becomes smaller as the park
brake pedal is pressed, move the pivot rod supports slightly rearward until the gap is consistent. If the gap
becomes larger as the park brake pedal is pressed, move the pivot rod supports slightly forward until gap
is consistent. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The accelerator rod must also be checked if the ratchet/pawl gap is adjusted. See step 6.
The accelerator rod must be disconnected before proceeding to the next step.

4.3. With the park brake unlocked, measure and note the distance from the top of the accelerator pedal to the
floorboard, then lock the park brake (Figure 5-13, Page 5-13).
4.4. With the park brake locked, make sure at least 75% of ratchet tooth length engages the pawl (Figure 5-14,
Page 5-13). Tooth engagement should be between the two lines marked on the pawl.
