A brake is a device to stop or slow a vehicle, and braking is what you do when you apply the brakes. Brake pads are what OP is talking about replacing.
Breaking something is separating it into pieces or interrupting a sequence of events, like taking a break from work.
Thanks. I must have had a blackout and blindly followed OPs spelling.
