SERVICE PROCEDURE

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the 1997 C/K Truck Service, Manual , Section 7C - Clutch, Page 5, Figure 2 for the following instructions.

1. Inspect the clutch pedal pivot bushings where they pivot in the support bracket.

The bushings must be flush or extend past the outside of the support bracket.

- If the bushings are flush or extend past the outside of the support bracket, no further action is needed. Install the GM Campaign Identification Label.

- If the bushings are not flush or not extended past the outside of the support bracket, proceed to the Repair Procedure listed below.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Remove the clutch pedal following the instructions in the 1997 C/K Truck Service Manual, Section 7C - Clutch, Page 4.

2. Bend the left side of the support bracket inward until the dimension between the insides measures 3.681" - 3.720" (93.5 mm-94.5 mm).

3. Reinstall the clutch pedal following the instructions in the 1997 C/K Truck Service Manual, Section 7C - Clutch, Page 4. To ease assembly, the left pivot bushing should be installed first. Two new clutch pedal anti-rattle bushings (P/N 15705367) and a new clutch master cylinder push rod bushing (P/N 93221087) must be used when reinstalling the pedal.

4. Inspect the clutch pedal pivot bushings to be sure that they are flush or extend past the outside of the support bracket.

Each "Campaign Identification Label is to be located on the radiator core support in an area which will be visible when the vehicle is brought in by the customer for periodic servicing. When installing the Campaign Identification Label, be sure to pull the tab to allow adhesion of the clear protective covering.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
