So I needed a key for a lock lug nut, but wasn't sure of the size, or the exact number of splines. I bought a Dorman Spline drive key just using visual observation, as Ii wasn't sure the size of the lugnut. The package was sealed tight and I was forced to cut it open to get the key out. I went outside to slip it on the lug, and it didn't fit. When I went back inside to try and exchange it for the next smaller size, I was denied an exchange. Oh well, $13.99 down the drain. So I went ahead and purchased the next one, hoping it'd be a better fit. It didn't fit either, and it costed $21.99. I spent over $75.00 in other products while I was there, so I figured the staff would be kind enough to give me a refund, as I am a regular customer. The staff wasn't rude, however they just said "Sorry!" I went right next door to the competing auto parts store, and they had the same product, except with snap tight packaging, and I was allowed to take it out of the package, take it out side accompanied by the sales representative, slipped it over my lug to insure a good fit, before I had to pay a dime, and what do ya know, this Dorman Spline Dive Key fit my lug perfectly, first try. Please with the service I went in and purchased this product from the rival competition and was very satisfied with them, and very disappointed with my local Advanced Auto Parts, to which I was a loyal customer. Below are the two keys that I waisted close to $40.00 for that I couldn't use. The one I purchased from O'Rileys that I was very satisfied with, especially the friendly service, is out in the toolbox in the truck of my car. I'll be keeping it. I guess since Advanced don't do refunds I will try to sell to get some of my money back that I was denied a refund.😓

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.
