Red head dude KYLE helped me out big time. I was here a day earlier and it was said they didn't have the part I needed. But the website did. Kyle looked at my situation and Vehicle, found my part and even assisted me man handling this stupid blade off. Kyle rules. Thanks Kyle. You deserve a raise.

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.
