How to Remove a Rod Circlip Connector

    • 1). Set the transmission of the vehicle in "Park" and place wood blocks behind the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Disconnect the return spring on the parking brake from the operating lever underneath the vehicle near the driver's seat with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

    • 2). Unfasten the screws that secure the lower trim panel to the vehicle frame underneath the driver's side of the dashboard with a screwdriver. Remove the connectors from the micro-switch behind the panel with an open-end wrench and detach the brake cable behind the pedal lever from the cable connector with the needle-nose pliers.

    • 3). Loosen the two setscrews behind the lower trim panel with a screwdriver and unfasten the two nuts behind the panel with the open-end wrench. Remove the parking-brake mechanism from underneath the dashboard and disconnect the side plates from the brake mechanism.

    • 4). Take the micro-switch out of the brake assembly. Detach the cable connector from behind the pedal lever by unfastening the circlip connector from the pedal rod with the needle-nose pliers.
