Brake pedal — adjustment, removal and installation (Nissan Sunny B13)

Measuring pedal height

Adjustment

1. Measure the distance from the pedal to the floor.

2. If necessary, remove the lower front panel on the driver's side (see subsection 13.26).

3. Remove the driver's footwell trim, release the clips and remove the mat, revealing a hatch in the floor's sound-deadening covering.

4. Remove the hatch and check the pedal height.

5. Compare with standard value.

6. If necessary, adjust the pedal as follows.

7. Loosen the pusher lock nut and rotate the pusher to set the desired pedal height.

8. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

9. Check the free play of the pedal, which is equal to the movement of the pedal until you feel a slight resistance in its movement.

10. After releasing the pedal, the brake light should go out.

11. Otherwise, replace the switch (the switch is mounted on the pedal bracket with a bayonet connection and is not adjustable).



12. Start the engine and check the height of the depressed pedal at idle speed.

13. If the height is less than normal, the brakes are faulty.

14. In this case, replace the fluid in the hydraulic drive and remove the air.

15. If this measure does not produce results, then check the condition of the master and wheel cylinders.

16. When finished, install all removed panels.

Removal

1. Remove the lower front panel on the driver's side.

2. Remove the cotter pin and remove the axle, check the condition of the axle.

3. Disconnect the wires from the brake light switch.

4. Remove the four nuts securing the pedal bracket to the bulkhead (the vacuum booster is also secured with these same nuts).
