drum and disc brake removal and installation

1. What is the primary difference between drum brakes and disc brakes?

• A) Drum brakes use pads, while disc brakes use shoes

• B) Drum brakes use shoes inside a drum, while disc brakes use pads on a rotor

• 1. C) Disc brakes are only used on rear wheels, while drum brakes are for front wheels

• D) Drum brakes are primarily used in racing cars

Which of the following is an advantage of disc brakes over drum brakes?

• 1. A) Lower cost

• 1. B) Better performance in wet conditions

• 1. C) Lower maintenance requirements

• 1. D) More compact design

1. Which component is common to both disc brakes and drum brakes?

• 1. A) Brake rotor

• 1. B) Brake pad

• 1. C) Brake drum

• 1. D) Brake shoes

What is the main function of a brake caliper in a disc brake system?

• 1. A) To provide the friction surface for braking

• 1. B) To squeeze the brake pads against the rotor

• 1. C) To house the brake drum

• 1. D) To absorb heat generated by braking

In drum brakes, what component pushes the brake shoes against the drum?

• Brake caliper

• Wheel cylinder

• Master cylinder

• Brake pads

1. Which type of brake is generally more resistant to heat?

• Drum brakes

• Disc brakes

• Both are equally resistant to heat

• Heat resistance depends on the brake material, not the type

1. Which component is responsible for returning the brake shoes to their resting position in a drum brake system?

• Brake cylinder

• Return springs

• Brake pads

• Caliper piston

1. What is the purpose of the brake rotor in a disc brake system?

• To convert hydraulic pressure to mechanical force

• To provide a surface for the pads to press against and create friction

• To house the brake pads

• To absorb vibration from the wheels

1. Which type of brake is more effective in performance vehicles and why?

• Drum brakes, because they are more efficient at high speeds

• 1. Disc brakes, because they dissipate heat better and offer more consistent braking

• Drum brakes, because they are easier to maintain

• Disc brakes, because they are more affordable

1. Why are drum brakes still commonly used on the rear wheels of many vehicles?

• They provide better braking performance

• They are lighter than disc brakes

• 1. They are cost-effective and provide adequate performance for rear wheels

• 1. They are quieter than disc brakes
