BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1997 GMC Yukon AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Bendix Brake Booster -> Description
Vehicle: 1997 GMC Yukon 6.5 V8 DIESEL
In order to properly service power brake systems, a thorough understanding of the power assist system is necessary. These systems provide a mechanical assist, acting to increase the force applied to the master cylinder piston by the driver while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.
Hydraulic assist units incorporate a basic open center spool valve, hydraulic cylinder and an accumulator assembly in a common housing. When the brake pedal is depressed, the hydraulic piston moves forward closing off fluid relief passages, the spool valve applies flui...
