- PPPowrlineFeb 19, 20182.0Staff somewhat helpful at this location. Took away two stars because Tim was more concerned with what was on the computer screen and taking a phone call, then waiting on a potential customer standing at the counter. A different store sold me what I went into Advance for.

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.
