INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
tings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace appl icable part with a new one, if damaged part is
detected.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) and connections fo r fluid leaks, damage, twists, deformation, con-
tacts with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any parts as necessary. Refer to BR-22, "

BRAKE PEDAL
2. Loosen lock nut (A) on the input rod, then turn input rod to adjustthe brake pedal to the specified height. When finished adjusting,
tighten the lock nut (A) to specification.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the screw portion of the end of input rod is
located inside the clevis.
3. With the brake pedal pulled up and held by hand, press the stop lamp switch and the ASCD cancel switch in until the threaded
ends contact the brake pedal bracket.
4. With the threaded ends of the stop lamp switch and ASCD switch contacting the pedal bracket, turn the switches 45 ° clock-
wise to lock in place. Check that the stop lamp switch and ASCD
cancel switch threaded end to brake pedal bracket gap (C) is
within specifications.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the gap (C) between the brake pedal bracket
and stop lamp switch and ASCD cancel switch threaded
ends are within specification.
5. Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. CAUTION:
Make sure that the stop lamp goes off when the brake pedal
is released.
6. Start the engine and check the height of the brake pedal when depressing it. Lock nut (A) : 18.7 N·m (1.9 kg-m, 14 ft-lb)
