Absolutely miserable staff I went to something that I purchased never even opened and she said well it’s not sealed. The package isn’t sealed on the shelf. It was a trailer adapter never hooked up. I got the wrong one. She wouldn’t let me exchange it for the correct one would not recommend this store Stay away. Go to AutoZone they are better.

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.
