- JJJason Luke JROct 15, 20255.0Carter was awesome and so was John. The manager from earlier in the morning told me the wrong brake pads must’ve been a little bit dyslexic, but you know it ended up working out in the end so I appreciate it

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.
