- MBmelissa BrownNov 3, 20251.0Went in to get a battery for my 2016 Toyota Corolla key fob. Manager was rude and said we dont mess with these things anymore. I said I know its a round battery but was not sure of the type. He said, there are many round batteries, which I knew that. Then he proceeded to open it. Looked at the keyfob, mumbled something then put the pieces that flew out back together. All he had to do was pop open the inside and see that I needed a R2016 3v battery. I saw several types of batteries when I walked in. Sorry to take up 5 minutes of your time sir.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
