hydraulic brakes -brake system in which a brake pedal moves a piston in the master cylinder; brake fluid then applies great force to the brake pads or shoes.
Reservoir -holds the brake fluid.
Brake lining -are relatively soft but tough and also heat resistant material with a high coefficient of dynamic friction.
Hand brake cable - usually adjustable, and is directly connected to the brake mechanism on one end.
Brake fluid - a hydraulic fluid designed specifically for brakes, it transfers the motion of a driver stepping on a brake pedal directly to operate a brake caliper.
Brake pads and shoes - pads are steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disk brake rotor and shoes are a semi-circular material that presses against the inside of the turning brake drum to slow down the wheel that the drum is attached to.
Bleeding - is to removed trapped air bubbles and dirt in your brake fluid and topping it up with your new one.
Brake switch - an electrically powered switch that triggers the brake lights to activate when brakes are applied.
