1. In a single anchor bendix drum type rear brake ANSW >>> the secondary lining
is longer than the primary
2. Compared to the secondary shoe lining areas of drum brakes, the primary
shoe lining area is ANSW >>> ANSW >>> smaller and goes toward the front of the
car

3. During a brake overhaul, you notice that the brake fluid seems to be very
dirty and dark in color. What should you do? ANSW >>> flush the system
before the new parts are installed
4. In order to bleed the system on a vehicle equipped with power brakes ANSW
>>> ANSW >>> None of the above
5. Which of the following could be a symptom of over-torqued lug nuts?
ANSW >>> A brake pedal pulsation during braking.
6. Which of the following describes the proper sequence to bleed brake lines
on most rear wheel drive vehicles ANSW >>> ANSW >>> RR, LR, RF, LF
7. In disc brake caliper assemblies, the "square cut seal" is usually located
ANSW >>> ANSW >>> In the caliper piston bore
8. When performing a caliper overhaul, what would you use to remove the
pistons from the calipers? ANSW >>> Compressed air
9. Sliding caliper disc brake pads are kept in adjustment by the ANSW >>>
Square cut piston seal
10. A cracked or torn vacuum diaphragm in a power booster would likely
cause ANSW >>> ANSW >>> Hard pedal with very high effort required

11. When the brakes are applied on a car with disc-drum brakes, a vibration
or pulsating movement is felt. What can cause this problem? ANSW >>> A rotor
thickness variation
12. While test driving a car, the mechanic finds that the right front brake
"grabs". The most likely cause of this problem is ANSW >>> ANSW >>> Brake
fluid or grease on the brake linings.
13. During a road test, you find that when normal breaking pressure is applied
the pedal slowly goes to the floor. What is the likely cause of this problem?
ANSW >>> A leaking master cylinder primary piston seal.
14. A rattle is a single piston disc brake assembly which goes away when the
brakes are applied is most likely a result of ANSW >>> ANSW >>> Loose pads in
the caliper
15. Which of the following would most likely cause dragging brakes? ANSW
>>> A defec- tive vehicle load sensor
16. With the car standing still, you can hear a squeaking noise when applying
the brake pedal slowly. What could cause this noise? ANSW >>> Dry backing
plate contact surfaces.
