having a problem with the brake pedal. seems it dont come up all the way to hit the brake light switch. i looked in the manual but cant find the pedal assembly to see if there should be a return spring. anyone know why the pedal would not come up all the way? if theres a spring does anyone have a picture of it? and where it is installed?? thank you

No spring is used. Check for binding and remember that the brake light switch is adjustable. BTW manual or power brakes?

THANX FOR RESPONDING. i have power front disc. the pedal goes down and brakes work but it wont come up from the depressed position. i can pull it up. even with the switch adjusted as low as it can go it still not enough. im going to check right now but it may come up after i shut the motor off. it just came to me that the pedal was up when i started the car. might be a booster issue if theres no spring

the assembly uses a big heavy spring that attatches to the clutch pedal.do you have the correct pivot shaft bolt?

Yes 19 is a spring, if you look at the underside of the pedal brace, the same brace that supports the steering column, you'll see 2 elongated slots in the middle of it, directly above the brake pedal, this is where the spring "hooks" to, and then stretched downward to the pedal

I think your confusing the clutch overcenter spring with the brake return/assist spring

here's another photo (but basically of the clutch bracket assy).....but I have circled the 2 slots that I refered to in my post above, these slots allow you to "hook" the brake spring onto the brace, then stretch it to the retaining hole in the pedal, some pedal assys will have a "button" very much like the clutch pedal, or a hole to secure the brake spring, or the spring may attach to the pedal pushrod/retaing bolt, all depends on specific years and brake linkage, but the referenced photos are from the "E" body engineering prints

I stand corrected. There is a spring. It's been a long time since I've had power brakes. Thanks for the engineering drawings Dayclona.
