How does a disc brake work on a drum brake?
There, wheel cylinders convert that hydraulic pressure back to mechanical force. Brake friction material is pushed against the brake disc or drum, slowing or stopping your vehicle.
What are the different types of disc brakes?
Rotors can either be solid or vented. Vented ones have more surface area and can more easily dissipate heat. There are two types of disc brakes, named after the type of brake caliper used: floating and fixed. A floating caliper (also called sliding) is the most common type. It has one or two pistons.

What’s the difference between front and rear brake pads?
