Littleton Brake Repair

Emergency Littleton Brake Repair
If your brakes aren’t responding properly, your master cylinder could possibly have holes in it, and if so could leak its vital brake fluid—or oil. Every issue with your brakes can effectively qualify as an emergency. If you don’t have control of your vehicle, it can be potentially deadly for you and for other drivers on the road. Our Littleton brake repair experts can head off any of your brake issues before they become dangerous.

How Brakes Work

Did you ever wonder how just a light tap of your foot can manage to stop a two-ton vehicle? Your foot taps a series of levers that apply brake pads to all four tires, and also respond to the friction of the road beneath them. But the braking action isn’t so simply direct—levers multiply the force your foot applies to the brakes, but it must also be multiplied by a hydraulic system.

Within the hydraulic system, your force sends two pistons dipping into two cylinder canisters filled with oil, mutually connected with an oil-filled pipe. Oil is a very potent substance that defies compression, so the force is multiplied very efficiently. Some of these hydraulic systems, with two pushing pistons are attached to another end that rises—this is called a “master and slave” hydraulic system.
