- SCStephen CrosbyApr 10, 20264.0Nice staff here, the only reason why I can't give 5 out of 5 stars is when I was looking up coolant leak dye on google, it was showing that this was carried at this store. I had trouble finding it, asked the staff and they were also surprised that it was not carried. Not sure why it shows up as stocked.

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.
