- Describe the procedure for using compressed air to remove a piston from a brake caliper.arrow_forwardThe basic frictional parts of a brake system are being discussed: Technician A says that the harder the frictional parts are pushed together, the higher the friction. Technician B says that the harder the frictional parts are pushed together, the more heat is developed. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing quick take-up master cylinders: Technician A says that this design allows for increased braking power. Technician B says that this design is only used on drum brake systems. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- While discussing what affects the amount of pressure exerted by the brakes: Technician A says that the shorter the line, the more pressure there will be. Technician B says that braking force will increase if the size of the pistons in a master cylinder are increased. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing how to remove the piston from a brake caliper: Technician A says that the dust boot should be removed, then a large dull screwdriver should be inserted into the piston groove to pry the piston out. Technician B says that air pressure should be injected into the bleeder screw’s bore to force the piston out of the caliper. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardA brake pad is found to be wearing more on one side than the other. Technician A says this is common in real world situations. Technician B says this is always a clear sign that there’s a problem. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both Technician A and B Neither Technician A or Barrow_forward
- The advantages and disadvantages of disc brake systems are being discussed. Technician A says that disc brakes are more likely to develop brake fade and water fade. Technician B says that reduction of mechanical fade and gas fade is an advantage of disc brakes. Who is correct? A. A only B. B only C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B 2. The operation of disc brake systems is being discussed. Technician A says that composite rotors were developed to save weight. Technician B says that a fixed rotor assembly is part of the hub. Who is correct? A. A only B. B only C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhen examining disc brakes: Technician A visually inspects the rotor and says that the rotor can be reused if it is not damaged or scored. Technician B says that it is normal for the inboard pad to be slightly more worn than the outside pad. Who is correctarrow_forwardTechnician A says that an out-of-round drum can cause a pulsating brake pedal. Technician B says that an out-of-round drum can cause the brakes to grab. Who is correct?arrow_forward
