DESCRIPTION
All dimensions indicated in the figures are actual.
When using a tracking gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length. Then check the pointers and gauge
itself to make sure there is no free play.
When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure there is no elongation, twisting or bending.
Measurements should be taken at the center of the mounting holes.
An asterisk (*) following the value at the measuring point indicates that the measuring point on the other
side is symmetrically the same value.
The coordinates of the measurement points are the distances measured from the standard line of "X", "Y"
and "Z".

3. Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustable
pedal electric motor.
Unlock (1) then pull (2) the adjustable brake pedal cable to
disconnect it from the adjustable pedal electric motor as
shown.

CAUTION:
Before removal and installation the accelerator and brake
pedals must be in the forwardmost position (closest to
the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake pedals.
Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.
Avoid damage from dropping the brake pedal assembly during handling.
Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check brake pedal for following items.
Crack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
Clevis pin deformation
Crack of any welded portion
Brake pedal bend
INSTALLATION
1. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. There should be no binding or sticking when applying or
releasing the brake pedal.
Check the brake pedal adjustable feature for smooth operation. There should be no binding or sticking
when adjusting the brake pedal forward or backward.
After installing the brake pedal assembly in the vehicle, be sure to adjust it. Refer to BR-6, "Inspection and
Adjustment" .

Hydraulic CircuitEFS004W5
CAUTION:
All hoses and tubes must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets
in.
Refill with new brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Removal and Installation of Front Brake Hose EFS004W6
