Lokar Brake and Clutch Pedal 1955-1957 Chevy - Manual

Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you
have any questions please call.
Before starting installation, scotch vehicle tires to avoid accidental
movement of the vehicle. Disconnect negative battery cable before
beginning installation.
We recommend applying anti-seize lubricant to all aluminum threads
before final assembly.
Brake Pedal Only (without Clutch Pedal):
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.
Step 1: Remove the existing pedal(s) following the steps outlined in the
factory service manual for your particular model of car.
Step 2: Test-fit the original brake pedal axle into the new Lokar
brake pedal before attempting installation. Due to
manufacturing tolerances and possible differences between
OE and replacement parts, some brake pedal axles may be
too tight. If the brake pedal axle does not fit or will not
turn freely inside the new Lokar pedal, call Lokar at
1-877-469-7440 for assistance.
Step 3: Lubricate the inside of the Delrin® spacers and the outside of
your original brake pedal axle with a thin film of grease.
Position the wide Delrin® spacer inside the brake pedal return
spring. Hook the "J" shaped arm of the brake pedal return
spring into the notch on the firewall side of the brake pedal.
Fig. 2 Position the brake pedal, the return spring, and the wide
Delrin® spacer up into the pedal support bracket, forward
(towards the firewall) of the hole in the pedal support bracket.
The "L" shaped arm of the brake pedal return spring will hook
under the edge of the pedal support bracket.
Rotate the top of the pedal and the return spring back (towards
the steering wheel), while sliding the left end of the brake pedal
return spring along the edge of the pedal support bracket. When
the hole in the wide Delrin® spacer aligns with the hole in the
pedal support bracket, insert your original brake pedal axle
through the left side of the pedal support bracket, through the
wide Delrin® spacer, and into the new brake pedal.
Step 4: Use a large screwdriver or small pry bar to pry the top of the pedal to
the left, and insert the thin Delrin® spacer into the gap between the
top of the brake pedal and the right side of the pedal support bracket.
Push the original brake pedal axle through the thin Delrin® spacer,
and through the right side of the pedal support bracket.

Step 5: Install the original 5/16" bolt through the flange on the left side of
the original pedal axle and the pedal support bracket, and secure
with the original lock washer and nut.
Step 6: Remove the original clevis from your brake master cylinder pushrod.
Install the new brake pedal arm clevis onto your original master
cylinder pushrod.
Step 7: Raise the master cylinder pushrod with the new brake pedal arm
clevis up into position on the brake pedal. Insert the Teflon®
washers on both the left and right sides of the pedal, between the
pedal and the clevis. Install the 3/8" clevis pin. Install the 3/8" AN
washer and cotter pin on the end of the 3/8" clevis pin.

Step 8: Adjust the master cylinder pushrod length. Follow the proper
procedure for your particular brake booster or master cylinder.
Generally, you will want to make sure that there is not any
tension on the master cylinder pushrod when it is at rest, with a
small amount of free play at the brake pedal pad.
Step 9: Adjust the brake light switch.
