They work like normal hydraulic breaks do. The difference is that the hydraulic liquid cicuit is doubbled and independent from its doubble. The consquence: If one hydraulic circuit is broken, the other one delivers still the full break energy. If you know some German, please look up at wikipedia the term "Zweikreisbremsanlage". There is more technical explanation Frank

How do hydrauli brakes work in a car?

hydraulic brakes work on hydraulic fluid the system is filled with fluid, all air is bled out of the system so only fluid remains thru valves and other components the fluid is displaced when when the breake pedal is pressed on each wheel at the brakes are some moving parts ,on drum brakes these are brake shoes and cylanders on disk brakes these are brake pads and calipers when the fluid is displaced thru use of the pedal these parts are pushed out by the fluid that ahas no where else forcing the pads or shoes against the brake disk or drum when pedal is released the fluid goes back to reservoir releasing pressure on parts at wheel which releases brakes


Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?

All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.

How do car parts work?

Car parts work by performing very specific functions as part of a whole. A starter spins the engine using an electric motor while the brakes stop the car by hydraulic force.
