Pneumatic Adjustable Brake Pedal Replacement

1. Inspect the base label (Form WAR259) for a campaign completion sticker for FL857 (Form WAR260). If a sticker is present for FL857, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the steps below.

 

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and apply the parking brake. Chock the tires.

 

3. Using the battery disconnect switch, located in battery compartment, shut off the battery power. See Fig. 1.

 

4. Drain the air from the air tanks by pumping the brake pedal until the tanks are empty.

 

NOTE: Before removing the red and green air lines, make a note of their location at the top of the treadle valve for later use.

 

5. Disconnect the 3/8-inch red and green air lines from the top fittings of the treadle valve. See Fig. 2.

 

Fig. 1, Battery Disconnect Switch

 

Fig. 2, Disconnecting the Red and Green Air Lines

 

6. Remove the three fasteners that attach the treadle valve to the adjustable pedal assembly. With the remaining hoses and harness still attached, secure the treadle valve out of the way. See Fig. 3 for the location of the fasteners.

 

7. Disconnect the brake pedal adjustment cable under the dash. See Fig. 4.

 

Fig. 3, Treadle Valve

 

Fig. 4, Disconnecting the Pedal Adjustment Cable

 

NOTICE

Carefully remove the pedal assembly from the engine side of the cowling to avoid damaging the gasket          (not shown) between the base plate and cowl.

 

8. Using a star bit tipped socket, remove and discard the brake pedal assembly mounting hardware, then re- move the brake pedal assembly. See Fig. 5.

 

Fig. 5, Removing the Brake Pedal Assembly

 

9. Retain the dust boot and plunger (covered by the dust boot) from the brake pedal assembly for later use. See Fig. 6.

 

Fig. 6, Dust Boot

 

IMPORTANT: The split roll pin must be tapped out from the passenger side toward the driver side (right to left).

 

10. Using a hammer and punch, tap the split roll pin from the passenger side toward the driver side, from the upper brake arm out of the pedal mounting base plate. See Fig. 7.

 

IMPORTANT: Make sure the split roll pin is fully engaged on both sides of the casting.

 

11. Install the new brake pedal arm and carefully drive a new split roll pin in from the driver-side of the base plate casting assembly. See Fig. 8.

 

Fig. 7, Removing the Split Roll Pin

 

Fig. 8, Installing the New Brake Pedal Arm

 

12. Install the treadle valve plunger and dust boot, that was set aside earlier, on the brake pedal base.

 

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the gasket between the brake pedal mounting base and cab front wall is properly seated when installing the brake pedal assembly.

 

13. Install the brake pedal assembly through the cowl and attach it with four new screws and washers. The new screws should come with thread lock patch applied to them. Tighten the screws 12±1 lbf·ft (16±1 N·m). See Fig. 5.

 

14. Using new fasteners, install the treadle valve assembly. Tighten the fasteners 13 lbf·ft (18 N·m). See Fig. 9.

 

Fig. 9, Installing the Treadle Valve

 

15. Attach the air lines removed earlier. Ensure that all of the other air lines and the brake pressure switches are connected and the harness is properly routed.

 

16. Turn the battery disconnect switch back on, then start the engine and build air pressure. Once full air pressure is reached, shut down the engine.

 

17. Using the adjustable pedal switch, adjust the accelerator pedal so that it is at the same approximate distance as the brake pedal.

 

18. Connect the brake pedal adjustment cable to the brake pedal. See Fig. 4.

 

19. Verify that the brake pedal does not pinch or rub any wires, air lines, or anything else in the path of full brake pedal travel.

21. Verify there are no air leaks. Depress the brake pedal, checking for resistance or tight spots on the spool valve inside the treadle valve. It should operate freely without any binding or resistance.

 

22. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259) and attach a campaign completion sticker for FL857 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been completed.

 

Hydraulic Adjustable Brake Pedal Replacement

1. Inspect the base label (Form WAR259) for a campaign completion sticker for FL857 (Form WAR260). If a sticker is present for FL857, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the steps below.

 

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn the steering wheel to a full left turn, shut down the engine, and apply the parking brake. Chock the tires.

 

3. Use the adjustable pedal switch to move the pedal assembly to the full-out position (this makes removing the pedal easier).

 

4. Unplug the brake relay connector from the brake relay mounted to the Hydromax on the lower-left of the adaptor plate; this removes power from the power wire and stud on the brake motor. See Fig. 10, item 2.

 

Fig. 10, Brake Relay Mounted on Hydromax

Fig. 11, Removing the T45 Torx Head Mounting Screws

 

10. Disconnect the brake pedal adjustment cable under the dash. See Fig. 4.

 

IMPORTANT: Note the assembly of the clevis pin, nylon washers, and switch before removing them. This will ensure proper installation during assembly.

 

11. Remove the brake clevis pin and pedal switch by disconnecting the clip from the end of the pin and slide the pin out of the pedal. See Fig. 12.

 

Fig. 12, Removing the Brake Clevis Pin

 

12. Temporarily remove the rubber brake pedal pad and set it aside. This makes removal of the pedal assembly easier through the firewall.

 

13. Remove the brake pedal and adaptor plate assembly from the front of the firewall. Turn the pedal assembly and line up the pin to remove it from the firewall.

 

IMPORTANT: The split roll pin must be tapped out from the passenger side toward the driver side (right to left).

 

14. Using a hammer and punch, tap the split roll pin from the passenger side toward the driver side, from the upper brake arm out of the pedal mounting base plate. See 7.

 

IMPORTANT: Make sure the split roll pin is fully engaged on both sides of the casting.

 

15. Install the new brake pedal arm and carefully drive a new split roll pin in from the driver-side of the base plate casting assembly. See Fig. 8.

 

16. Replace the firewall gasket.

 

17. Install the pedal adaptor on the firewall.

 

18. Tighten the four T45 Torx head mounting screws that attach the adaptor plate to the firewall 12 lbf·ft (16 N·m). See Fig. 13, item 1.

 

Fig. 13, Attaching the Adaptor Plate to the Firewall.

 

19. Install the Hydromax booster/master cylinder assembly to the adaptor plate with new hardware. Tighten 34 lbf·ft (46 N·m). See Fig. 13, item 2.

 

20. Connect the power wire to the brake motor.

 

21. Install the ground ring terminal to the Hydromax adaptor plate.

 

22. Connect the brake motor relay connector.

 

23. Install the master cylinder brake line retainer clip.

 

24. Inside the bus cab, reposition the Hydromax clevis around the brake pedal arm. Ensure that the rubber bumper stop on the adaptor plate is in the correct position. When pulling up on the pedal you should feel the rubber bumper compress.

 

IMPORTANT: The brake pedal switch must move freely and not have any interference from wiring or air lines.

 

25. Install the nylon washers and brake pedal switch, then install the clevis pin. Ensure that all items are in- stalled in the order they were removed earlier.

 

26. Install the brake pedal pad.

 

27. Use the adjustable brake pedal switch to put the accelerator pedal and brake pedal in approximately even positions.

 

28. Attach the drive cable to the brake pedal connector.

 

29. Verify that both the brake and accelerator pedals travel the full adjustment lengths. If not, disconnect the brake pedal adjustment cable and adjust the accelerator pedal again using the pedal adjustment switch, then connect the brake adjustment cable.

 

30. Test the Hydromax booster. You should hear an electric motor hum when depressing the brake pedal. If not make sure all connections at the relay and motor are seated properly.

 

The Hydromax booster should stop running when the brake pedal is released.

 

31. Verify that the brake lights operate correctly.

 

32. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal hard several times. Ensure that the Hydromax booster is functional.

 

33. Turn the engine off.

 

34. Inspect the Hydromax for any brake fluid or hydraulic fluid leaks including the power steering output line at the top of the booster.

 

35. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259) and attach a campaign completion sticker for FL857 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been completed.
