    What is the process of getting air out of the brake lines?

    • Bleeding

    • Air purging

    • Air blowing

    Correct Answer
    A. Bleeding
    Explanation
    The process of getting air out of the brake lines is called bleeding. Bleeding involves removing any air bubbles that may have entered the brake lines, which can cause a loss of brake pressure and reduced braking efficiency. This is typically done by opening the bleeder valves on each brake caliper or wheel cylinder and allowing the air to escape while fresh brake fluid is pumped through the system. Bleeding the brake lines helps to ensure that the brakes function properly and provide reliable stopping power.

    What produces hydraulic pressure in a brake system?

    • Caliper

    • Wheel Cylinder

    • Master Cylinder

    • Brake Pad

    Correct Answer
    A. Master Cylinder
    Explanation
    The master cylinder is responsible for producing hydraulic pressure in a brake system. It is a component that converts the force applied to the brake pedal by the driver into hydraulic pressure. When the brake pedal is pressed, it pushes a piston inside the master cylinder, which in turn forces brake fluid through the brake lines to the calipers or wheel cylinders. This hydraulic pressure is what ultimately causes the brake pads to clamp down on the rotors or drums, resulting in the vehicle coming to a stop.

    Wheel cylinders are used on ________ brakes.

    Correct Answer
    drum
    Explanation
    Wheel cylinders are used on drum brakes. Drum brakes are a type of braking system where the brake shoes are located inside a drum that rotates with the wheel. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the wheel cylinders, causing the brake shoes to expand and press against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction and slowing down the rotation of the wheel. This design is commonly used in older vehicles and some heavy-duty applications.

    How many wheel cylinders does a four-wheel disc brake system have

    • 2

    • 4

    • 1

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    A four-wheel disc brake system does not have any wheel cylinders. In a disc brake system, the braking force is applied by calipers that squeeze brake pads against a rotor to slow down or stop the vehicle. Wheel cylinders are part of a drum brake system, which is a different type of braking system used in some vehicles. In a drum brake system, wheel cylinders are used to apply the brake shoes against the drum to create friction and slow down or stop the vehicle.
