A brake pad is found to be wearing more on one side than the other. Technician A says this is common in real world situations. Technician B says this is always a clear sign that there’s a problem. Who is correct?
Technician A
Technician B
Both Technician A and B
Neither Technician A or B
While discussing how to remove the piston from a brake caliper: Technician A says that the dust boot should be removed, then a large dull screwdriver should be inserted into the piston groove to pry the piston out. Technician B says that air pressure should be injected into the bleeder screw’s bore to force the piston out of the caliper. Who is correct?
While installing new brake pads: Technician A coats the caliper bushings with silicone grease before installing the mounting bolts and sleeves of floating calipers. Technician B lubricates the caliper ways on the caliper support and the mating parts of the sliding caliper housings with the recommended lubricant. Who is correct?
