- DYDarlene (YOWBABY)Aug 31, 20255.0This is what life is all about: Simple, easy, friendly, competence. All checked off at this Advance Auto Parts today. Rolled my little Honda in for the cabin and engine filters. Had everything i needed in stock. The gent at the counter was very helpful. He was able to find everything I needed in stock. So much smarter to go here than handing over your hard earned cash to the uncaring dealership to literally pop open two clips, remove the old filter and install the new. Then clip, clip the two clips and you're done.

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.
