      Low brake pedal fix

      2004 Aveo.

      Owned for years and the brake pedal engagement had always been low. New brakes front and rear, new parking brake cables, new wheel cylinders and hoses front and rear (not a parts cannon, just old worn out stuff).
      pedal still low after adjusting parking cable and shoes correctly and a thorough bleeding of fluid.

      Turns out the yoke off the brake booster needed adjustment.
      Brake pedal finally has the correct 1” of travel before brakes engage.


      Hope this helps someone.
