DISC 2001 Chevrolet Camaro          2000-01 BRAKES          Disc - Camaro          Firebird          DESCRIPTION & OPERATION          Brake system is a dual hydraulic pedal-actuated system with a master cylinder, vacuum brake booster, front disc brakes and rear disc brakes. Hydraulic brake line routing is split front and rear for safety reasons.          Master cylinder has dual pressure chambers with a primary piston to supply hydraulic pressure to front brakes and a secondary piston to pressurize rear brakes. There is one outlet for both front brakes and one outlet for both rear brakes. Some models have a fluid level sensor built into master cylinder reservoir.          Front disc brakes are continually self-adjusting. Caliper piston seals are designed to retract pistons enough to allow brake lining to lightly brush rotor. Sliding caliper design compensates for lining wear. Replace brake pads in axle sets when lining thickness is .030" (.76 mm) or less.          Rear disc brakes are a single piston caliper assembly with parking brake incorporated. When parking brake is applied, rear disc brake piston is mechanically pushed out of caliper housing. Within piston is a self-adjusting mechanism to keep parking brake in proper adjustment. Replace brake pads in axle sets when lining thickness is . 030" (.76 mm) or less.          BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM CAUTION:  Because of brake fluid expansion due to heat absorbed from          brakes and engine, DO NOT overfill master cylinder reservoir.       & ...
