BRAKES

A Close-up View Of Drum Brakes

When brakes are applied, increased hydraulic pressure travels through the Brake Lines and

Hoses (A) into the Wheel Cylinder (B) where two pistons are forced outwards in opposite directions. These pistons force the Brake Shoes (C) against the inside surface of the rotating

Brake Drum (D) which is located behind the wheel assembly. The frictional contact of the Brake

Shoes slows and then stops the drum. The brake shoe mechanism is mounted on a Backing Plate (E). Several Brake Springs (F) retract shoes and pistons after braking has ceased. The Self Adjuster mechanism (G) compensates for normal shoe wear by automatically adjusting brake shoes against the brake drum as the pads wear down.
