ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL GROUP
ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTALLATION – GASOLINE VEHICLES
1. If the accelerator pivot rod supports were replaced, position the supports (21) on the vehicle frame and
install the four bolts (22), flat washers (19), and lock nuts (18). Finger-tighten nuts at this time
(Figure 5-6, Page 5-7).
2. Insert the lower end of the accelerator pedal (1) through the floorboard and install the accelerator pivot
rod (6) through the uppermost hole in the pedal.
3. Install the plastic spacer (20) on the pivot rod (6).
4. Insert the pivot rod through the pivot rod supports on the vehicle frame.
5. Tighten the four bolts (22) attaching the pivot rod supports to the frame to 75 in-lb (8.5 N·m).
6. Install the bolt (4), two washers (5), and a new lock nut (7) through the lower hole in the pedal and through
the pivot rod. Finger-tighten nut at this time.
7. Install the ball stud (8) through the pivot rod. Install the spring retainer (11) onto the ball stud. Secure
these parts with the nut (10) (Figure 5-6, Page 5-7). Tighten the nut to 75 in-lb (8.5 N·m).
8. Press 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 downward
(Figure 5-7, Page 5-8). The ratchet should now rotate freely on the rod.

9. 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.
10. Move the pivot rod back toward the driver side of the vehicle and line up the 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.
11. Install the nylon lock nut (26) on the pivot rod and tighten the nut to 18 ft-lb (24 N·m) (Figure 5-6,
Page 5-7).
12. Install the accelerator rod assembly (17, 25, and 24) (Figure 5-6, Page 5-7).
13. Adjust the pedal group. See Pedal Group Adjustment – Gasoline Vehicles on page 5-11.
