Brakes Manuals

This category gathers manuals on automotive brake systems, from hydraulic drum brakes through disc brakes and truck air brakes. The library holds service manuals, bulletins and training books from the 1920s to the 1970s, produced by brake and parts makers and by General Motors, Chrysler and Chevrolet.

Manuals here include the Raybestos Brake Service Guide for 1928–1961 cars, the 1949 Moraine Delco Brake Service Bulletin for 1936–1949 General Motors hydraulic brakes, and the 1957 Chevrolet Truck Full Air Brake Shop Manual. The 1972 Mopar Disc Brake Service Roundup and the 1974 Certified Disc Brake Service Manual cover fixed and floating calipers. Mechanics and restorers use them for adjusting, relining and troubleshooting brakes.
