Thats a good question!
guang1 and zhi3 - are very similar and interchangeable. Tend to mean - merely/only. For example I only have one bottle of beer, and that's not enough to share amongst ten people.
cai2 means - just/only/not until
It is often used when the person speaking is indicating that they think something has taken longer then expected.
For example - The traffic was terrible this morning, it took me an hour, I have only just got here.
Or
It's 12pm, and he's only just got out of bed.

Brakes in Chinese is 刹车 sha1che1. It can also mean to stop or to brake.
