- SSSteven Smith6 days ago1.0Went in looking for snow chains. They brought out the wrong size and said it’s the closest they could find in the back. I asked them to look it up on their computer and they told me they couldn’t but I could look it up on my phone if I wanted to and provide a part number.

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.
