Why is the car's brake pedal sometimes too hard to press?
1 Answers
The car's brake pedal sometimes being too hard to press is caused by a failure of the brake booster pump, and it is recommended to have it inspected and repaired. Below is an introduction to the handbrake: 1. Introduction: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which operates on a different principle from the main brake. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. 2. Configuration: The handbrake is used in conjunction with a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched; when the handbrake is released, the spring returns to its original length. With prolonged use, the spring may also deform. 3. Principle: For small cars, the handbrake is sometimes located behind the transmission, connected to the driveshaft with a brake disc, similar to a disc brake. The pulling force is transmitted via a steel cable to achieve parking braking.
