Chevrolet Caprice Brake Pedal
The Chevrolet Caprice Brake Pedal is the part the driver uses to slow or stop the sedan by turning foot pressure into hydraulic pressure. Within each full-size Chevrolet vehicle, the Brake Pedal is mechanically connected to the master cylinder. When this is pressed, hydraulic pressure is built that clamps calipers or expands drums at the wheels. The wheels then slow quickly. Over the Caprice's long production run, two main Brake Pedal styles appear. The early style, fitted on early models, is a steel arm with a rectangular rubber pad. The later style is a slightly wider ergonomic curved arm meant to work with modern power-assist systems. Both do the same job, but with the later model, you get a smoother stroke and better leverage. Regardless of version, the rubber pad ribbing on the Caprice Brake Pedal is critical for providing traction to prevent foot slip during wet or emergency stops. With wear of those ribs, safety may start to decrease noticeably. Car enthusiasts who restore a vintage Chevrolet or upgrade a performance-minded Caprice can purchase complete assemblies or just fit a new pad to keep the Brake Pedal feeling responsive and looking factory clean.

Chevrolet Caprice Brake Pedal Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and adjust the clutch and brake pedals on Chevrolet Caprice?A:For manual transmission models of 1969-1973, the process starts with the removal of the clutch pedal return spring and the clutch pushrod from the arm. If a power booster is not fitted, remove the brake pedal return spring and master cylinder pushrod from the pedal arm, and take out the retainer from the right hand side of the piston in the pedal pivot shaft. Shift the clutch pedal to the left and it will come out of the support braces, the same goes for the brake pedal and the nylon bushings. If a power booster is fitted, unscrew the booster mounting nuts to enable the pushrod to be slid off the end of the pedal pin, and pull out the clip retainer from the end of the pedal pin: remove the pushrod. Subsequently, open the nut of the pedal pivot shaft and pull out the pivot bolt to have the brake pedal and bushings removed from the bracket. Worn bushings should be replaced and during reassembly lubricant should be applied in the reverse order. For vehicles that do not use power booster, set the brake pedal with pushrod locknut loosened and adjust pushrod until free travel is somewhere between 1/8 and 3/4 inch and then the nut must be tightened to standard setting. Check/gauge the brake stop lamp switch and observe the amount of back lash on the clutch pedal. In models starting from 1974 remove the clutch pedal return spring, pull out the clip retainer from the pushrod pin, unwind the nut from the extremity of the pedal pivot shaft, and pull out the shaft to an extent that will allow the removal of the pedal spacer and bushings. When removing bushings, you may need to replace or lubricate them; to do so, bushing installation is the reverse of the removal process.
