Brake Action
When the Brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid travels from Master
cylinder to the Caliper or Wheel cylinder, pushing the pistons out.
In turn this action pushes the shoes against the drum or
the pads against the rotor.
Brake Lining
Brake lining must be strong enough to absorb the heat and last
a long time, yet save the drums and rotors from wearing too quickly
Disk brakes found on front of most vehicles as well as at rear
of four wheel Disk brakes vehicles.
Master Cylinder
Reservoir for brake fluid.
Connected to the brake pedal.
Pressurizes the system when
brakes are applied.
