Parking Brake Control Mechanism Assembly

Components

Parking brake lever removal and installation

1.  Removal

(a)  Remove the auxiliary facia console, and pull the park-

ing brake lever to the lowest position.

(b)  Remove the two hexagon head bolts used to stablize 

the parking brake lever onto the vehicle floor.

(c)  Loosen the parking brake cable's adjusting nuts with a 

wrench, and take the cable out from the equalizing frame.

2.  Installation

Complete the parking brake control mechanism's installation 

by reversing its removal sequence. Please pay attention to 

the items below:

(a)  The open end of the parking brake lever assembly's 

cable clamp should face down.

(b)  While installing the parking brake lever, the assembly 

structure must be properly adjusted, which is usually 5 

to 8 gears.

(c)  The tightening torque of the coupling bolt for the 

parking brake control mechanism assembly and vehicle 

body is 20 N·m.

Brake System

Vacuum Booster with Brake Cylinder Assembly

Components

Areas of Importance

1.  The vacuum booster with brake cylinder assembly is tightly connected with the brake pedal assembly on 

the cowl panel using four nuts. It is also connected with the brake pedal push rod via an center pin and 

lock pin. Thus before removal of the assembly, first loosen the rigid pipe fitting with an open-end wrench, 

disconnect the lock pin and center pin using pliers, loosen the four nuts, and then proceed with the booster.

2.  Tighten the lock nuts on brake master cylinder and vacuum booster according to the specified torque, 

and coat with signal paint.

3.  Dimensions between the rear housing head face and the adjusting fork hole center is adjusted to 

standard before it leaves factory. Please do not adjust it again.

4.  The vacuum booster valve rod on the vehicle must be in a free state.

5.  The brake master cylinder's working agent is DOT4 brake fluid. It must not be mixed with any other 

brake fluid.

Problems and symptoms

Causes

Eliminating methods

Master  cylinder's  oil  reservoir  is 

severely leaking

The master cylinder, slave cylinder, or hydraulic line 

is leaking.

Eliminate the areas with leaks (in general, it may be that 

the pipe fitting's tightening torque is not enough, check 

one by one and tighten as necessary)

1. Vacuum booster not sufficient

2. No boost when the engine is off

3. May lead to unsteady engine idling 

when severe

1. Under non-operating conditions, the vacuum booster 

leaks air.

2. Front and rear housing connection are not sealed.

3. Booster's front and rear gas seal sealing failure.

4. Vacuum check valve leaks.

1. Replace the front and back gas seal and control valve 

assembly.

2. Replace the vacuum booster.

3. Replace the vacuum check valve assembly.

Brake pedal is heavy with no boost 

effect

1.Under non-operating conditions, the vacuum booster 

leaks air.

2. Booster diaphragm worn and damaged.

3. Control valve ring cup worn and damaged.

1. Replace the front, back gas seal and booster diaphragm.

2. Replace the vacuum booster.

3. Replace the control valve assembly.

Spongy pedal when braking

1. There is air in the brake fluid.

2. Cylinder or slave cylinder leaks oil.

3. There is brake line seepage.

1. Eliminate the air in the system.

2. Inspect the cylinder and sub-pump cup and replace 

with new parts.

3. Inspect the pipeline and eliminate the seepage.

When continuously step on the brake 

pedal, the pedal will gradually change 

and expand till the highest extend.

Pump valve opening blockage.

Brake fluid cleanliness is insufficient, please replace the 

brake fluid.

Removal of  the vacuum booster 
with brake cylinder assembly

1.  Discharge the vacuum.

If there is vacuum inside of the booster, before removal, step 

on the brake pedal 3-5 times, so as to discharge the vacuum. 

2.  Oil discharge.

To avoid a large amount of brake fluid flowing out when 

removing the brake pump, it's suggested to siphon the brake 

fluid from the reservoir into another container using a hose, 

or loosen the drain connector and collect the fluid in the 

container, then drain the brake fluid inside of the pump by 

stepping on the brake pedal.

3.  Remove the drain connection.

Use a M10 open-end wrench to remove the drain pipe 

connection, promptly plug the outlet port to prevent pollution.

4.  Use needle nose pliers to remove the lock pin from 

the vacuum booster and the brake pedal's connecting 

center pin.

5.  Remove the vacuum booster's push rod and the pedal's 

connecting center pin, and remove the return spring.

Push rod: Stepping onto the pedal 

in order to pass the force

3.  Remove the check valve assembly.

Pull out the check valve and valve seat from the vacuum 

booster's front case as shown on the left.

Disassembling  the  vacuum  booster  with 
brake cylinder assembly

1.  Brake master pump removal.

Take down the lock nuts between the fixed brake master 

pump and front case with a M13 sleeve, and then forcibly 

pull out the brake master pump.

Caution: Do not lose the rectangular sealing ring.

2.  Remove the brake reservoir assembly.

Push out the elastic cylindrical pin from the hole of the oil 

cup’s foot with a suitably sized screwdriver, and then pull 

out the oil cup from the pump in the direction as shown on 

the left. If necessary to take off the brake reservoir cover, 

twist it off manually.

6.  Screw off the coupling bolt between the vacuum booster 

and the pedal bracket with a M13 sleeve.

7.  Extract the vacuum booster with brake cylinder assem-

bly.

Removal of the vacuum booster with brake cylinder assembly 

is now complete.
