- The 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_forwardTechnician A says that a grinding noise from a drum brake when it is not applied can be caused by a bad wheel bearing. Technician B says that a grinding noise from a drum brake when it is not applied can be caused by worn brake hardware. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhen machining brake drums: Technician A tries to remove only enough metal to obtain a true, smooth surface. Technician B cuts the drum on the other side of the axle to the same diameter as the one that was cut first. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that a brake drum micrometer has pointed anvils. Technician B says that a brake drum micrometer is a large inside micrometer that is read like any other micrometer. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardName the three major assemblies that make up a disc brake.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about drum brake shoes is not true? Web thickness varies only with changes in shoe size. Many shoes have indented places along the edge of the rim. The shoe rim is welded to the web. The primary/leading shoe is typically the one that is positioned toward the front of the vehicle.arrow_forward
- When replacing brake pads on a vehicle: Technician A works on one wheel before beginning work on an-other. Technician B uses a minimum of 52 psi of air pressure to force the piston from the caliper housing. Who is correct?arrow_forwardTechnician A says that fixed calipers use a piston on each side of the rotor to apply the brakes. Technician B says that sliding calipers typically use only one piston or pistons on one side of the rotor. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing what would happen if too much metal is removed from a drum by machining: Technician A says that noise can result from the thin drum vibrating when the brakes are applied. Technician B says that the brakes could fade because the thin drum is unable to absorb heat during braking. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that replacement wheel rims should be the same as the original equipment wheels in load capacity, offset, width, diameter, and mounting configuration. Technician B says that if wheels are installed that have a different stock width or diameter, make sure to use a tire that has the same overall width as the original tires. Otherwise the vehicles wheel-speed sensors, speedometer, antiock brake system, and many other systems will be affected. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing the effects of overtorquing wheel lugs: Technician A says that this can cause the threads of the lugs and/or studs to distort. Technician B says that this can cause disc brake rotor distortion. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about drum brake shoes is not true? a. Linings may be riveted or bonded to the shoes. b. Shoe indentions hold the shoe in place against the backing plate. c. The shoe rim supports the shoe lining. d. The primary/leading shoe is typically the one that is positioned toward the front of the vehicle.arrow_forward
