Although a car technician needs to become familiar with both disc and drum brakes, each brake type has its own service-related quirks and challenges. This video features both disc and drum instruction for automotive students and service trainees. The disc brake section shows viewers different types of disc pads, rotors, and calipers; how to cut rotors using either a standard or on-car brake lathe; how to visually inspect the lines; how to disassemble the front disc and remove the rotor; and how to reassemble in a professional manner. The drum brake section covers drum shoes, springs, hold-downs, wheel cylinders, and other parts, with insight on cutting drums, disassembly, and reassembly. Staying alert for problems during a test-drive is also emphasized.
