Across:

5. A special fluid compound used in hydraulic brake systems, It must meet exacting specification, such as resistance to heating, freezing, and thickening.
6. An adjustable measuring tool placed around or within an object and adjusted until it just contacts. The tool is then withdrawn and the distance between the contact points is measured.
7. A hydraulic cylinder used with drum brake systems to actuate the brake shoes.
10. A valve in the brake lines that equalizes system pressure between the front and rear brakes.
13. The part of the hydraulic brake system in which system pressure is generated.
14. Metal carrier to which friction linings are attached. Used with drum brake systems problems.

Down:

1. A computer-controlled system that is part of the base brake system. The system “cycles” the brakes on and off to prevent wheel lock up and skidding.
2. The pressure of fluids in motion.
3. An arrangement of tubing and pistons used to transmit force through fluid from one location to another.
4. Metal carrier to which friction linings are attached. Used with drum brake systems problems.
8. Double walled steel tuning used to carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the wheel brake assemblies.
9. A principle of fluids that states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, it is transferred undiminished throughout the fluid.
11. A cast iron or aluminum housing upon which the brake shoes contact to provide braking action.
12. A cast iron or aluminum housing upon which the brake shoes contact to provide braking action.
