2.4. Loosen the brake stop jam nut (31), then relieve pedal pressure on the stop by pushing down
slightly on the pedal. Next, adjust the brake stop bumper (22) up or down (Figure 5-11, Page 5-12).
Adjusting the bumper upward decreases distance between pedal and floorboard. Adjusting the
bumper downward increases distance between pedal and floorboard. Proper brake pedal height is
6 inches (15.2 cm) (Figure 5-12, Page 5-12).
2.5. Tighten the jam nut (31) to 8 ft-lb (9.5 N·m) (Figure 5-11, Page 5-12).

3. Adjust park brake ratchet/pawl gap and pawl engagement.
3.1. 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.
3.2. 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 5-13,
Page 5-13). The gap should be consistent through range of pawl movement. If the gap is not con-
sistent, 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.
