DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Brake Shoe and Lining

The brake shoes and linings (2001) are of a design and composition meant to withstand the extreme heat caused by the friction of braking action. The brake shoe and lining material is bonded to steel backing plates which are fitted into the disc brake caliper (2B120). The brake shoes and linings in the rear disc brake system are pressed against the inboard and outboard sides of the rotor by the rear disc brake caliper. This compression action on the rotor provides the braking power in the rear brake system.
