Brake pedal — removal and installation (Opel Omega B2)

Removal

1. Unscrew the mounting bolts, remove the lower trim panel of the instrument panel in the footwell on the driver's side. Disconnect the fasteners and remove the air ducts.

2. Disconnect the brake light switch sensor plug, and then disconnect the switch from the pedal bracket, marking its position.

3. Disconnect both brake pedal return springs.

4. Remove the spring clip and push out the pin securing the booster push rod to the brake pedal.

5. Unscrew the upper pedal bracket mounting bolt.

6. Unscrew the nuts that secure the pedal bracket to the bulkhead. Note that the brake booster is also secured with these same nuts. Move the booster away from the bulkhead to remove its studs from the pedal bracket.

7. Rotate the bracket down to remove it from the top studs of the booster, then remove the bracket along with the pedal.

8. Remove the spring clip, unscrew the nut on the end of the pedal pivot shaft and remove the washer.

9. Remove the pedal mounting brackets and carefully slide the axle out of the bracket to allow the brake pedal to be removed. Remove the thrust washers (if any) and the central spring (see illustration).

Installation

10. Install the pedal in the reverse order of removal. Lubricate the pedal pivot and tighten the threaded connections to the specified torque.
