Auto repair, and so much more
The following instructions are designed to demystify the process and reassure the car owner that brake repair can be done properly at home. They assume a familiarity with basic brake components. Brakes work by pressing together two pads that rest on either side of a rotating metal disk in your wheel mechanism. Each wheel is equipped with two brake pads that close up when you press on the brake pedal of your car. These pads will, of course, wear down over time.
