Bought something a day ago. Wanted to return. Bigger White older gentleman said sorry no tool is wet and they don’t do returns on tools usually he said. Tool was never used. Don’t go here. There return policy is not good whatsoever. Stick to autozone. Manager also could of Atleast offered store credit but he was nice about the deny. Again steer away from advanced in general.

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.
