Words: Action, Applied, Brake, Direction, Drum, Effectiveness, Force, Important, Multiplies, Pin, Pressing, Rotating, Shoe, Stop, Vehicle Drum brake operation is fairly simple. The most important feature contributing to the effectiveness of the braking force supplied by the drum brake is the brake shoe pressure or force directed against the drum. With the vehicle moving in either the forward or reverse direction with the brakes on, the applied force of the brake shoe _pressing against the brake drum increasingly multiplies itself (called self-energizing) because the brake’s anchor pin acts as a brake shoe stop and prohibits the brake shoe from its tendency to follow the movement of the rotating drum.wedging action between the brake shoe and brake drum. The wedging action combined with the applied brake force creates a self-multiplied brake force.

AURTTB101 Inspect and service braking systems 35. Power assisted brakes are designed with vacuum-assisted units that use vacuum developed by an external pump? True or False Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. 36. The function of the nitrogen-charged pneumatic accumulator on a hydraulic brake booster is to _____. A. Prevent power steering fluid from mixing with brake fluid. B. Provide reserve power assist pressure if the engine stalls. C. Reduce boost pressure when pedal effort is less than 10 psi. D. Hold return pressure until the brake pedal is released. Fill in the Gaps 37. Complete the following statement about booster function using the following words. Words: Activate, Apply, Assist, Brakes, Developed, Driver, Engine, External, Hydraulic, Mechanisms, Multiply, Pedal, Pistons, Pump, System, Vacuum, Wheel Power brakes are nothing more than a standard hydraulic brake system with a booster unit located between the brake _pedal and the master cylinder to help _activated the brakes. Two basic types of power-assist mechanism are used. The first is vacuum assist. These systems use engine_ vacuum, or sometimes vacuum pressure developed by an external vacuum pump, to help apply the brakes. The second type of power assist is hydraulic assists . It is normally found on larger vehicles. This system uses hydraulic pressure developed by the power steering _pump or other external pump to help apply the brakes. Both vacuum and hydraulic assist act to multiply the force exerted on the master cylinder pistons by the driver. This increases the hydraulic pressure delivered to the _wheel cylinders or calipers while decreasing driver foot pressure. 38. Name the eleven [11] components of a vacuum booster assembly below.

AURTTB101 Inspect and service braking systems The rear disc/drum or auxiliary drum parking brake arrangement is found on some vehicles with fixed or sliding calipers. On these brakes , the inside of each rear wheel hub and rotor assmebly is used as the parking brake drum. A pair of small brake shoes is mounted on a backing plate that is bolted to the axle housing or the hub carrier . These parking brake shoes _operate independently of the service brakes. They are applied by linkage and cables from the control pedal or lever. The cable at each operates a lever and strut that apply the shoes in the same way that rear drum parking brakes work. The assembly (often called the drum-in-hat system) is a smaller version of a drum brake and is serviced much like any other drum brake. However, they do not have self adjuster . The parking brakes must be adjusted manually with star wheels that are accessible through the backing plate or through the outboard surface of the drum. True or False question 41. A rear disc/drum parking brake uses the inside of each rear wheel hub and rotor assembly as a parking brake drum? True or False True or False question 42. Rear disc parking brake have a mechanism that forces the pads against to rotor hydraulically. True or False True or False question 43. The parking brake keeps a vehicle from rolling while it is parked. True or False True or False question 44. The park brake works mechanically, using a lever assembly connected through a cable system to the rear drum service brake. True or False True or False question 45. Electric park brake, are fitted with a motor solenoid, so there is no need for parking brake cables and linkages.

AURTTB101 Inspect and service braking systems 46. Complete the following statement about hydraulic brake operation on vehicles fitted with disc brakes using the following words. Words: Compressible, Decreases, Force, Increased, Lines, Liquid, Master, Measure, Operate, Output, Piston, Pressure, Reliable, Shoes, Size, System, Transmitted A hydraulic system uses brake fluid to transfer _pressure from the brake pedal to the pads or shoe . This transfer of pressure is reliable and consistent because liquids are not compressible . That is, pressure applied to a _liquid in a closed system is transmitted by that liquid equally to every other part of that system. Apply a force of 100 pounds per square inch (psi) (690 kPa) through the master cylinder and you can measure 100 psi (690 kPa) anywhere in the piston and at each wheel where the brakes operate . The force can be increased at the output (i.e., at the wheel) by increasing the size of the piston, though piston travel lines . The force at the output can be decreased by decreasing the size of the lines , but the piston travel increases. 47. Explain the operation of the mechanical braking system? Brakes absorb energy and convert it to heat. Mechanical brakes all act by generating frictional forces as two surfaces rub against each other.The stopping power or capacity of a brake depends largely on the surface area of frictional surfaces as well as on the actuation force applied. Fill in the Gaps 48. Complete the following statement about air over hydraulic braking system operation using the following words. Words: Axle, Brake, Compressor, Cylinder, Fault, Fluid, Foot, Front, Hydraulic, Lines, Master, Output, Passages, Pressure, Proportions, Protection, Pushes, Reservoirs, Service, Supply, Tank Compressed air from the _compressor is stored in a wet tank in a semi-dried condition. It then flows to the multi-circuit protection valve, which divides the feed to serve the two service reservoirs. Simultaneously, pressurised air from the reservoir combines through internal _passages in the multi-circuit protection valve to operate the remote spring brake actuator through the hand control valve. Two service lines are connected to a tandem power _cylinder controlled by a dual foot valve. This arrangement maintains air supply to the other circuit in case of a fault develops in one service line. The power piston push rod pushes the tandem master cylinder hydraulic piston forward so that the air pressure is converted to hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic fluid supply is divided into two circuits to serve the front and rear brake expander cylinders. A hydraulic load sensing valve is installed in the output circuit of rear axle of the tandem master cylinder. This valve appropriately _proportions the braking effort provided by the rear axle based on the load carried. This is achieved by modifying the fluid pressure reaching the rear brake cylinders.

AURTTB101 Inspect and service braking systems Fill in Gaps 49. Complete the following statement about air braking system operation using the following words. Words: Brakes, Compressor, Dependent, Engine, Limits, Operate, Pressure, PSI, Reservoirs, Tubing Air Brakes require at least 100 psi to operate correctly. This pressure is provided by a belt-driven air compressor , and the compressed air is held in one or two air _reservoirs (tanks). A governor mounted on the compressor limits the amount of pressure to about 125 PSI . The reservoirs and the _brakes are connected via steel tubing to a manifold valve (foot valve) usually mounted on the engine side of the bulkhead. A three- way valve directs the air dependant on the action of the driver. True or False question 50. Hygroscopic brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. True or False True or False question 51. DOT 3 brake fluid has a higher boiling point than DOT 4 fluid. True or False 52. From the image below, explain what the technician is checking for? If the oil needs replacement 53.

C. Runout . D. All answers are correct. True or False question 55. A dial indicator is used to measure runout on a disc rotor. True or False Fill in the Gaps 56. Complete the following statement about brake pad inspection using the following words. Words: Calipers, Friction, Inspected, Manual, Minimum, Pads, Plate, Replacement, Thinnest Disc brake pads should be checked periodically. Some pads have inspection holes in the caliper body. If they do not, the pads can be inspected from the outer ends of the caliper. If you are not sure the pads are worn enough to warrant replacement , measure them at the thinnest part of the pad. Compare this measurement to the calipher brake pad lining thickness listed in the service manual , and replace the pads if needed. Typically, if the friction material remaining on the backing plate is less than 1/8 inch (3.175 mm), the pads should be replaced. 57.
