- CTCarlos TorianAug 3, 20251.0Called about a seal and if the part was truly unavailable at the Fort Hood store prior to driving to Temple, because the website said that at Temple it was in stock. The woman who answered the phone huffed and puffed like it was an inconvenience to answer my questions. Had another question but was hung up before I could ask. Will gladly drive to the Temple store just to not be served by someone like that in Killeen. Call was made 3 Aug 2025 9:50am

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.
