I received the book promptly and it was like brand new. Thank you.
This is a great book:
If you want to really understand how brake systems work. Improve your existing brakes, or convert from drum to disc. Read this book first. Fred Puhn conveys loads of info on how these systems work. From basic hydraulics, to how brake boosters work, calipers, pads, rotors, drums. The whole works!
A must for every shade-tree mechanic.:
The Brake Handbook by Fred Puhn is the bible of brake systems. Everything you ever wanted to know about braking theory, practical applications, cylinder size calculations and brake fluids is there.
The book covers both drum and disc brakes as well as single and dual brake systems. It is well recommended for both professional and shade-tree mechanics who want to know how brakes work and what to do to make them work better.
