Questions & Answers

Q: What does relocating the brake pedal pin actually accomplish?

Moving the pedal's pivot pin location changes the pedal's mechanical ratio. Factory power brake pedals used a relocated pin to lower the ratio versus a manual pedal, which reduces the pedal effort needed once you add power assist.

Q: Is this a simple swap I can do myself?

No -- per the product description, it requires removal of the pedal and fabrication (having the pedal machined to relocate the pin). It's not a bolt-in part.

Q: Does the exact pin location matter a lot?

Yes. Forum discussion on pedal ratio changes notes that even small changes in pin position significantly affect pedal travel and the effort needed to stop the car, so the fulcrum location needs to be correct for your specific booster and master cylinder combination.
