4 Renew the bushes as necessary.
Refitting
5 Reassembly and refitting are reversals of
removal and dismantling. Apply a little grease
to the bushes when installing.
Adjustment
6 Although the braking system may be in
satisfactory condition generally, it is possible
that some drivers may feel that the brake
pedal travel is excessive. The travel can be
reduced in the following way if the upper
surface of the pedal pad is less than 200.0
mm above the metal surface of the floor.
7 Remove the brake pedal as described above.
8 Remove the white plastic bush (see illustration).

9 Fit a new bush which is red in colour and will increase the pedal height. Once this type of bush has been fitted it will not be possible to refit the anti-rattle retainer. This does not matter.
10 Adjust the stop-lamp switch (Section 18).
