Disc Brakes: As you step on the brake pedal fluid (which cannot be compressed) is forced from the master cylinder to the individual brake calipers forcing them to apply equal pressure to the piston (located in the caliper) which puts outward pressure on the brake pads which are attached to the brake rotor (and wheels) forcing the rotor and wheels to stop. Drum brakes: Similar except the brake linings are located inside the brake drum and when pressure applied linings expand against the brake drum forcing the wheel to stop
