bolt and nut. Place two washers over the stud then rod end on the end of the push rod, one washer
and then the lock washer and nut. Tighten nut securely. Remove the heavy pedal return spring
from the pedal if present. Swing the pedal through its range of motion to be certain there is no
interference with any component including wires and or hoses. See Figure 3.
