Pedal Linkage
The pedal pivots on a pair of thin-wall split plastic bush-
ings. A dry graphite or PTFE-based spray lube may
extend the life of the bushings.
To replace the bushings:
1.
Remove the left front fender, as described in the
To Replace a Master Cylinder section of this
chapter.
2.
Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin that con-
nect the brake yoke to the brake pedal arm.
See Figure 6.40.
3.
Remove the shoulder bolt that supports the
brake pedal arm using 3/4” and 9/16” wrenches.
4.
With the bolt removed, the pedal can be pulled
out of the bracket that it mounts to.
See Figure 6.41.
