Default Rear Brake Position

Anyone know how to lower the brake on the 2007 250's? It is a little high for me.

Also, the previous owner, bent it upward for some reason. Anyone know where to purchase a new one or how much they cost?

If you look at your brake pedal, you'll notice it pivots ona shaft. The other side is hookedup to an adjustable pushrod going to the rear brakemaster cylinder. In order to adjust it, you need to unhook the pushrod, remove the boltat the pedal pivot point, pull off the pedal,and reattachit a fewdegrees off from the original point. After that, you must adjust the master cylinder pushrod so that the rear brake doesn't stay engaged.

Wait a sec.... I screwed up.

I don't believe there are splines on the pivot shaft. I'm thinking about the clutch shifter lever. I'm sure adjusting the pushrod itself should give you more clearance without having to remove the pedal assy.
