BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Bendix Brake Booster -> General Service
Vehicle: 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 5.3 V8 GAS
Certain general service procedures apply, regardless of whether the brakes are vacuum or hydraulically assisted. Only top quality, clean brake fluid should be used. More seals and valves are used with power brake systems than with ordinary brakes, so an inferior brake fluid will do much more damage. For the same reason, ensure all dirt is kept out of the system. Additionally, care must be taken not to mix the fluids of the booster hydraulic system and brake hydraulic system as the fluids are not compatible.
If the power unit fails, the brakes will still operate, as the convention...
