and Later) and DS Gasoline Vehicles (Serial Number 9529 445519 and Later), Continued:
4. Insert the pivot rod through the pivot rod supports on the vehicle frame.
E
5. Tighten the four bolts (24) (Figure 6-27, Page 6-19) attaching the pivot rod supports to the frame to 70-
80 in.lbs. (8/9 N-m).

6. Install the ball stud (18) through the pivot rod. Using needle-nose pliers, install the pivot support bear-
ing (9) and the spring retainer (11) onto the ball stud. Secure these parts with the washer (8) and nut
(10) (Figure 6-27, Page 6-19). Tighten the nut to 45-55 in.lbs. (5/6.2 N-m). See CAUTION below.
CAUTION
• MAKE SURE THAT THE HARDWARE IS INSTALLED WITH THE FLAT WASHER POSITIONED ON
THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SPRING RETAINER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN
THE ACCELERATOR BECOMING DISCONNECTED.
7. Depress the brake pedal slightly, and with the park brake ratchet oriented so that the tip of the ratchet is
pointed toward the rear of vehicle, slide the ratchet onto the pivot rod (do not slide the ratchet onto the
pivot rod splines). Release the brake pedal and allow the ratchet to rotate until its tip is pointed down-
ward (Figure 6-37, Page 6-28). The ratchet should now rotate freely on the rod.
8. Rotate the ratchet clockwise until it touches the park brake pawl, then slide the ratchet onto the splines
of the pivot rod (it may be necessary to push the pivot rod toward the driver side of the vehicle to make
the splines accessible). The ratchet may have to be rotated counterclockwise slightly to align the
splines.
9. Move the pivot rod back toward the driver side of the vehicle and line up the scribed match marks on
the pivot rod and ratchet. Rotate the pivot rod back and forth slightly to align the splines and slide the
ratchet onto the splines.
10. Install the nylon lock nut (25) on the pivot rod. Install the crescent retaining ring (15) on the accelerator
pivot rod (Figure 6-27, Page 6-19). Tighten the nut to 16-20 ft.lbs. (22/27 N-m). See NOTE below.
