Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1.
Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at
the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
2.
Remove the attaching nut.
3.
Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE:
The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever (7A554) pin is controlled by this installation
PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps should be used.
1.
Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2.
Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3.
Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4.
Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5.
Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in lever, which then results in the correct positioning
of the two (2) components.
NOTE:
The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length. Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or
adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method
and eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the hydraulic system.
