XR 400 Adjusting Rear Brake Pedal Height

[killerbanjo]

Hey all, need to lower my pedal height but the clevis is pretty tight on the pushrod, i can't get anything to hold onto the pushrod as there is not enough room, but was wondering if I can remove the pushrod without leakage? I can't quite tell from the diagrams and wondered if anyone has had any experience with it. Once removed I can get some grips or something on it and free off the clevis.

Bear with me, I'm down the pub.

The push rod can not be removed, there is a washer slides over the top between the piston, I believe. You should be able to pull the rubber boot down that stops dirt ingress to the washer, you should find find a ten mill thing on the rid to hold Vit and adjust the twelve (?) nut on the clevis.

You should find that will help. Forgive me if I've misunderstood the question. Hope that's of son assistance..

By loosening the locknut that is against the clevis,you should be able to adjust the height of the peddle using the 12mm nut.You should only need to adjust it a small amount at the clevis
