Muchas gracias Hector Dios te bendiga y espero que siga siendo así, excelente trabajador y ante todo excelente persona. Muchas gracias
- RRRNov 12, 20251.0Will never return. The store was empty, nobody but me and the employees. I asked for assistance and was told, in a moment. 15 minutes later and the employees were still talking in the parts. I could hear them, it wasn’t business, just playing around. The tool I needed was out of stock and the alternative was overpriced. I was ignored, I could have walked out with the tool but I don’t steal.

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.
