Brake Systems---raising the vehicle

The braking system converts "kinetic energy" into "heat energy".

Brake master 40mm
caliper 160mm                     3200N
wheel cylinder 20mm             400N


Using the hydraulic jack:
when using a hydraulic jack to inspect a vehicle always raise and lower the vehicle with extreme care.
When raising a vehicle we have to ensure which point to jack up the car. There is normally a jack point to jack up the car. And when you jack it up have to check if the vehicle is uneven or sloping around.

  1. Good post, it would be useful to know the brake force of the master cylinder.
    Can you comment on the handbrake and the direction of the jack in relation the the vehicle when jacking it up?
