- In this video we will be measuring brake pedal height, brake pedal free play and brake pedal reserve distance. We will be completing this on a 2016 Toyota Corolla. After making measurements we will be learning how to properly adjust the brake pedal on this vehicle.

wow you guys at unforgotten really help me get through my days. I’ve been going through a lot in life like my mother and father both dying and you guys really help me through this. I miss you guys please come back
Good afternoon. Great video. Very good explination
Would like to see a video on how to LS SWAP an engine
Your technical presentation is great
I got a 2009 Silverado. I got a bike cylinder and power booster. My pedal is like 8 inches off the floor. The mechanic says it's right everyone else says it's too high. How do I fix this. It's too high to the point I'm I'm uncomfortable driving it
Thanks Gregory! I drive a Ford Econoline handicap van and I am short. I am hoping that I can use this adjustment as I have to lift my entire knee to hit the break. I don’t feel safe in its current location. Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much for the question. I would recommend keeping your brake pedal to the manufactures specification. This is due to the fact that If your brake pedal is too high, it can cause increased brake wear, uncomfortable driving, brake drag, brake lights staying on, and delayed braking response. It's important to get it properly adjusted for safety and performance. If needed there are aftermarket companies that offer equipment that can alter the brake pedal to your comfort without compromising safety.
Thank Sir
I gotta 2022 chevy equinox and the break is really high and hurts my foot after driving too long is it possible to adjust it lower or will it mess up the specifications?
Thank you for your question Ti Ko. I would recommend keeping the pedal adjustment within manufacture specification or issues can arise.
If the brake pedal goes up is it jaming?
If your brake pedal is too high, it can lead to a few potential issues and discomforts while driving:
1. Ergonomic Issues: A high brake pedal may cause discomfort or difficulty in reaching and pressing the pedal effectively, especially for drivers with shorter legs. This can lead to fatigue or strain during long drives.
2. Delayed Brake Response: If the pedal is unusually high before it engages the brakes, it might indicate excessive free play or a maladjustment in the brake linkage or pedal assembly. This could potentially delay the brake response time, affecting your ability to stop quickly in an emergency.
3. Braking Efficiency: A high pedal might also mean that the brakes are not releasing fully when the pedal is not pressed. This could cause the brakes to drag slightly even when not engaged, leading to increased wear and tear, and reduced fuel efficiency.
4. Safety Risks: Any issue with the brake pedal height that affects how you apply the brakes can be a safety risk. Inconsistent or unexpected braking behavior can lead to accidents, especially in situations requiring sudden stops.

What happens if I can not find the specification of the pedal. What can I do to find it?
Great question, sometimes it is difficult to find the brake pedal measurements with online service guides. If your service guide does not have the specifications I would search the manufacture specific information, as they are normally more complete and detailed with information.

A good Idea for a new video could be find out what weights are need for a tire
@@IndominusKing I love the idea. Thank you so much for your feed back.
