Haynes Automotive Brake Manual
Most modern automotive braking systems are actually quite simple to maintain and repair, provided that each step is performed in a careful, deliberate manner. A considerable amount of money can be saved and much knowledge can be gained by taking on these tasks yourself. This will give you a great sense of satisfaction - not only because you saved a bunch of money and your car wasn't tied up for a couple of days in some shop, but because you'll know that the job was done correctly.
This manual unlocks the mysteries of the modern automotive braking system. The procedures illustrated throughout the book are general in nature, but with specific differences in component design pointed out where necessary to help you complete each procedure safely and properly. Included are chapters on component and system operating fundamentals, tools and equipment, troubleshooting, maintenance, disc brake pad replacement, drum brake shoe replacement, parking brake systems, brake pedals and brake light switches, hydraulic systems, Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) and modifications. At the end of the manual theres a glossary of terms used throughout the book. In short, everything you need to know to successfully maintain and repair your brakes and ensure your safety and that of others around you is in this book.
