Two technicians are discussing quantum physics, but realize they don't know much about it so return to the topic of parking brakes. Technician A states that a hose clamp could be used to compress the retainer fingers of a parking brake cable in order to remove it from the backing plate. Technician B states that a box end wrench could be used to compress the fingers of a parking brake cable in order to remove it from the backing plate. Which technician is correct?

Respuesta :

Answer: Technician A is correct.

Explanation:

The hose clamp is able to go around the cable without any further dissemble of the brakes and is able to compress the spring evenly, releasing the retainer fingers of the parking brake.

The box end wrench is not ideal sense a closed fixed circle would not be able to compress or go around the brake cable.
