Functionally, the working of front brake and rear
brake system is same but in case of rear brake
system, parking brake is added. In this, hand brake
lever is levered on trailing shoe with a pin. When
parking brake is applied, the length of the strut
assembly increases which results into application
of brake on rear wheel, mechanically. When the
parking brake is released the protector cum spring
pushes back the hand brake lever and shoe return
spring retracts back the shoes to its original
position.
