Are you trying to completely remove it or just push it down? It probably has a return spring on it. You can remove the spring but they are "hard" to remove and a "Bear" to get back on. I would recommend pushing it down and wedging a block in to hold it down while you drill the hole. Just curious, why are you re-drilling the hole? LockDoc

Re: Brake pedal
The truck came disc brakes & no power brakes. Putting power brakes on, the Master cylinder rod Won't even line close to the pedal hole. Was told that the holes are in different spots fro Manuel & power brakes. I have to shim the power brake unit down to get the back of the rod up.

Re: Brake pedal
There is a bell crank assembly that the booster mounts to when you have power brakes, at least on a 3/4T. I take it that your old master cylinder bolted directly to the firewall?

Re: Brake pedal

You don't need to drill another hole. the offset mounting bracket for the booster takes care of that. Just make sure you have the complete booster & bracket assembly..... Here is a thread that may help. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=221598 This thread has some good pictures of the booster, bracket, and bell crank pivot, even though they have the photobucket watermark on them. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=352305 LockDoc

Re: Brake pedal
The aftermarket unit I bought won't work. The booster bracket angle makes the master cylinder rod hang down to far from the pedal hole. Looking for the correct mounting bracket. Who sell this bracket or unit ? Aftermarket is OK if its design to bolt on & Work.. WHERE WHERE

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-760197 Came with everything needed, totally "bolt-on" and go.. Didn't have to drill any holes, fabricate or purchase any adaptors or brackets.. Just a little bit of reangement of the brake lines between the proportioning valve and master cylinder.. |
