Has anyone ever installed zerk (grease) fittings in the cups covering the suspension arms? Seems like this would help with long term wear.

Take protective plate off under the rear axle brake and loosen the large adjustment bolt until the parking brake is free, Then tighten the brake cable nuts on the left cable attached to the main brake pedal until the slack is out enough that stepping on the main brake releases the parking brake. Once released, the large adjustment bolt for the parking brake assembly can be adjusted to the desired tension to keep the UTV parked when the parking brake is applied. Then it is simply a matter of adjusting the parking brake cable to allow the main brake to release the parking brake. Replace the steel protective plate under the rear axle and your are done.

Glad to add to the team. Welcome

Thanks for advice on the fuel guage. Mine is new and does not work on my 550.I will see if my problem is the same. Where do you get a service manual for the Hisun 550s? 

Ben, thanks again.    Question:  Is there an electrical connection to the pb other than the obvious one with the cable leading to the regular brake?  The pb is supposed to release with the ignition on and stepping on the regular brake.  There are two cables  leading to the regular brake pedal. I am assuming that the cable on the left is the adjustment for the pb. The one one the right is adjustable too, and Am I right in assuming that it leads to an electrical relay, maybe for both the pb release and the brake light switch, or is it just for the brake lights?

Thanks Ben 98. Took off plate and tried turning the rotor but brake too tight. I then pulled the cotter pin from the cable adjustment end and got the pb pedal to release. This freed up the pb back at the rotor and I can run it without using the parking brake. I think I just need to adjust the cable, but I’ m not sure which way to go with the adjustment nuts. At least I can ride it if I don’t have to park on a hill. Thanks Ben

Need more details.  Tranny to Neutral.  Raise both rear wheels on jack stands.  Park brake  disc is on diff drive shaft.  Have assistant rotate any side rear wheel...open diff....opposite rear wheel will turn in reverse direction.  If TRUE, diff is ok.  Try to rotate drive shaft, if park brake locked.....NO GO.  Have seen master cyl hold pressure to FR and RR locking them up....thus the jackstand test.

Lever has stepped rack, button release....problem with release?

Cable stuck in sheath?

Mechanical brake cam/lever stuck on full pad pressure.  Need answers to go forward.

The parking brake is stuck on my new 2021 Coleman Outfitter 550. Any ideas one how to get it loose. I’m a new owner.

Anybody know the steps required to adjust a Coleman 550 parking brake?

Got a new Coleman 550 and drove it off the trailer into my garage. Set the pedal parking brake. Went out the next day, it starts and runs ok but the parking brake will not release. Tried rocking it and stepped on the brake at least ten times. Cannot get it to release. Suggestions please.
