Steps
Prepare the vehicle
Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery cable before unplugging pedal wiring. Keep the ignition off while working under the dash.
Remove the lower dash trim
Remove the T20 screw below the hood release, then carefully release the lower trim clips. Disconnect the hood release cable and electrical plugs, noting each connector's routing.
Remove the steel support
Remove the four 10mm fasteners and the bracket nuts securing the reinforcement below the steering column. Move the air duct aside, then lower the support without pulling on nearby wiring.
Disconnect and remove the pedal assembly
Unclip the brake pedal retaining clip and slide out its pin. Unplug the brake switch connectors and accelerator connector, release their harness clips, then remove the 13mm mounting fasteners and lift out the assembly.
Install the replacement assembly
Position the new assembly and start its mounting fasteners by hand before tightening them evenly. Reinstall the brake pedal pin and retaining clip, then route and reconnect each harness so it cannot snag or rub.
Refit the support and trim
Reinstall the reinforcement and air duct, tightening the fasteners evenly. Reconnect the hood release cable and trim connectors, seat the lower panel clips, and reinstall its T20 screw.
Check pedal and brake-light operation
Reconnect the battery. With the engine off, confirm both pedals move freely and return fully, then check that the brake lamps illuminate and go out with pedal movement. Do not drive if a pedal binds, a warning light appears, or the brake lamps fail.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
