Start Engine
^
Pull Lever (A) Rearward (Towards back of vehicle) Against its Stop (Figure 1)
^
Depress Brake Pedal Fully
^
Release Lever and Brake Pedal
IMPORTANT. The brake lamp switch harness should be connected prior to adjustment

^
A binding condition between the eyelet of the brake booster rod and its attachment pin at the pedal.
^
Pedal mounting bushings not properly lubricated.
