Do the brakes still work without the servo?
There are several types of brake servo and are we talking about unbolting it and throwing it away or do you mean if the servo is eleminated from the system? Most brake systems will work if the Brake Booster servo does not work. No braking system will work if you unbolt the servo and throw it away.
Which lining does most of the braking on a dual-servo brake?
I'm going to say the secondary (facing rearward) lining on dual-servo drum brake does more work than the primary (facing forward) lining because the rear lining is almost always longer than the front lining to compensate for more wear.
Purpose of brake servo?
The purpose of the brake servo is to provide power assistance to the braking system when then brake pedal is pushed. The brake servo is usually a flat drum-shaped unit to the rear of the brake master cylinder. Typically, on a petrol car, a hard plastic pipe connects the servo to the inlet manifold of the engine. When the engine is running, air is sucked in through the inlet manifold; this partial vacuum is stored in the servo drum, and is used to amplify the pressure exerted by the driver on the brake pedal. A one-way valve is fitted in the system, usually in the plastic pipe, to avoid the vacuum in the servo being lost when the throttle is opened or the engine switched off. With a diesel engine, insufficient vacuum is generated in the inlet manifold to work the servo, so on diesel cars the hard plastic pipe from the servo is connected to a vacuum pump, which is typically mounted on the end of the camshaft, or sometimes on the back of the alternator. The symptoms of brake servo malfunction are usually a brake pedal that feels very stiff and has to be pushed very hard to operate the brakes. One common cause is the plastic pipe split or leaking where it joins the servo or the inlet manifold. The one-way valve can also fail, as can (less commonly I would say) the servo unit itself. On diesel cars, the vacuum pump can fail or can be tired, causing the pedal to stiffen with repeated use of the brakes. Good luck from Norn Irn!
How does a foldaway brake pedal assembly work?

Installed new brake shoes on your 1990 Ford Ranger XLT and now drum weill not fit?
Turn the star wheel adjusting screw at the bottom of the brake shoe assembly to allow the shoes to "retract" enough to put the drum back on. The star wheel is also the automatic (self) adjuster for the self adjusting brake shoes and is activated when the vehicle is put into reverse, driven...then stopped. Put some anti-seize graphite lube on the star wheel's threaded part to be assured it will work after complete assembly.
Where can you get the rear brake assembly diagram for a 1991 DODGE Dakota?
When making changes to the brake system of a car, it is important to have a diagram to compare work. For a 1991 Dodge Dakota a rear brake assembly diagram can be found in the maintenance manual.
What other brake drum will work on a 1956 Chevy truck?
There may be a few, but you would have to know the exact ID and depth of the drum, plus the stud numbers and spread.
How does electric servo motor brake work?
break is connected with parallel to motor winding if the brake is d.c. is supply it must be connected with rectifier unit,when motor in ideal position the brake holds the shaft which is connected with gear and when motor starts the break coil will energise and motor shat became free and motor will run like this brake work
Is brake calipers necessary for brake drums?
There are no calipers used with brake drums. Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move. Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.
We have checked all the fuses and bulbs the brake lights still do not work on ford explorer 2003?
Did you check the switch on the brake pedal assembly?
What happens when all your brake fluid leaks out?
The brake fluid is hydraulic fluid, transmitting the force from the master cylinder and servo, to the brake shoes or pads. If it leaks away, the brakes will not work. The leak MUST be identified and rectified, and the hydraulic system refilled and bled properly.
How to remove brake drum on cavalier?
Remove the wheel and simply pull it towards you while turning the drum. If that doesn't work, hit it with a hammer to break it free, then pull it off.
