What you need to know about Granta Sport pads
In the Sport modification, all four calipers are disc type. Friction linings are metallic and semi-metallic. Ceramic and organic friction linings are not installed on the Lada model. The difference between the last two types is the presence of ceramic and Kevlar fiber.
There is no need to mention the advantages of organics and ceramics, since everyone knows that they are developed using the most modern technologies and provide maximum braking effect. The exorbitant cost is a significant drawback, which for many becomes a stumbling block.
Pad replacement process
- Turn the steering wheel in the direction you want to replace it. It will be more convenient to work this way.
- Clean any dirt from where the caliper attaches to the disc.
- Take a chisel or a flat screwdriver with a small slot in your hands (I don’t know if this word can be conjugated). Bend back the locking plates that hold the bolt. I recommend bending the bottom plate, then it will be convenient to lift the brake mechanism up and replace the pad.
You don't have to touch this bolt.
Installing new pads
Reassemble in reverse order.
Attention! After you have replaced both brake pads, you need to bleed the brakes. Place a block or something similar under the rear wheels to block the wheels from moving. Start the car and operate the brake pedal.

Diagnostics of friction lining wear level
Most modern cars are equipped with special digital wear sensors. When the programmed level is reached, an indicator light is activated on the central instrument panel, indicating a breakdown of the brake circuit.
Unfortunately, the Lada is not yet equipped with digital sensors; you need to navigate by the actual thickness of the body of the lining. The maximum permissible threshold for using the body is 1.5 mm. Above the specified limit, the operation of the technical device is not safe. The degree of wear can be determined by removing each wheel and measuring the thickness with a caliper.
Alternative option: turn the steering wheel to the extreme left/right position, visually assess the thickness without resorting to dismantling work. The above recommendation only applies to the front circuit. For rear wheels, unconditional removal of discs.

Sequence of actions when replacing pads on Granta yourself
Front
- We place the car within the perimeter of the repair zone, squeeze the parking brake, and engage first gear. We fix the rear row of wheels with wheel chocks;
- Jack up the side and remove the wheel;
- We unscrew the upper and lower guides, move the caliper to the side, do not unscrew the line;
- Carefully pry up the anti-squeak plates with a screwdriver and remove the pads;
- We troubleshoot the caliper, clean it, and blow it out if necessary;
- We install new linings.
After replacing the front pads, check the level in the tank. It is located in the engine compartment. We carry out a similar procedure with the second wheel. Service center technicians recommend replacing the circuits at the same time. For example: front / rear, all four calipers. Subsequent replacement after 30,000 km.
Rear So, to change the rear brake pads on a Grant, do the following:
- fix the front wheels, do not release the parking brake;
- jack up the rear side, remove the wheel;
- tapping the rim evenly with a hammer to knock it off its seat;
- remove the pressure plate, spacer bar;
- unpin the base of the fixation, the ear of the handbrake cable;
- remove the old ones and install new friction linings;
- The mechanism is pinned in the reverse order.
Be sure to check the fluid level in the expansion tank and replenish the missing amount.
Common mistakes when replacing pads
With any multi-step operation, errors can occur. To avoid them, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- Changing the front pads on a Lada Granta must be done on two wheels at once. This way the mechanism will work longer.
- If the front pads of the Lada are equipped with thrust springs, they must be periodically lubricated. This will keep the braking mechanism operational, and will provide acoustic comfort to those inside the car.
- The driver should avoid sudden braking for the first few hundred kilometers after replacing the front pads. At this time, it is also recommended to periodically check the degree of heating of the wheel rims on the Lada and pay attention to dust loss.
- If you are not confident in your abilities, you can invite a friend more experienced in this matter as a consultant or go to a car service station.
Replacing the front brake pads on a VAZ Granta Liftback and all other cars of this family is not a complicated procedure. Most motorists carry it out no more than once a year.

Features of original LADA Granta brake pads
The supply of pads to the AvtoVAZ conveyor is carried out by JSC TIIR, Russia’s leading manufacturer of friction products for cars and trucks.
21100-3501800-83
The peculiarity of the markings of brake pads from “TIIR” is that the pads themselves have an internal factory number, and are supplied to the market with “VAZ” numbers. For example, components intended for the retail market under the Lada Sport brand are marked 21100-3501800-83, while the serial number 2108-3501080-05 is stamped on the pads themselves.
It is important to note that since 2012, TIIR JSC began producing front brake pads 1118-3501090 from the TIIR-295 composite material for Grant, Priora and Kalina cars. These pads, as mentioned above, do not have anti-squeak plates; a special mastic is applied to the back of the pads, designed to level out noise and vibration during braking.
Many car enthusiasts note that such “cheapening” of products does not bring the desired result; moreover, with frequent intense braking, the surface of the lining “glazes over”. This leads to an excessive increase in the coefficient of friction in the disc/pad pair and, accordingly, to accelerated wear of the brake disc.
But in 2013, the company improved the technology and began producing front brake pads 2192-3501090-10 from the TIIR-299 composite material with multilayer Nulok anti-squeak plates, for Lada Granta 2192/2194 and their modifications.
Rear pads
The rear brakes are presented in drum type. They have a different operating principle: if the front pads compress the disc from the outside, then the rear pads push the drum from the inside. Accordingly, the pads have a completely different design. The manufacturer recommends using original elements.
Most users also prefer original spare parts, as in the case of front brakes, since they work quite well and are inexpensive - about 1000 rubles for a set of four pieces, two for each of the two drums. Original rear pads are sold under number 21920350209055.
If we consider analogues, we can highlight several good options; they are shown in the table below.
Manufacturer | Number | Estimated cost (in rubles) |
ADR | ADR010921 | 680 |
Trialli | GF239 | 660 |
Ween | 1522470 | 1100 |
Reminder
Let's summarize the key points :
- Granta with ABS has special pads, an ABS control disc and sensors that must be disconnected before disassembling the brake drum;
- When the drum does not come off well, you can remove it in another way: screw the pins 7 into the holes next to which they were screwed in (for more details, see the section How to remove a brake drum);
- Do not press the brake pedal after removing the drum;
- If you do not pump out excess brake fluid before starting work, it may be squeezed out after replacing the pads.

Replacing rear pads on a Lada Granta with ABS
Replacing brake pads in Lada Granta drum brakes, it would seem, should not cause any difficulties. Nevertheless, there are cases when inept handling of the brake mechanism ends in damage to the brake drum, friction linings of brake pads or brake cylinder boots. To avoid such disgrace, we will find out the secrets that the Lada Grant with ABS has related to drum brakes.
How to check brake pad wear on a Grant
No one will bother replacing brake pads right away. There are reasons for this, and mileage does not play a major role here. The service life of VAZ pads is quite difficult to predict. The level of wear on the rear drum brake pads greatly depends on the quality of the friction linings and their composition, as well as on the driving style.
First of all, poor performance of the handbrake will indicate wear of the rear pads. When braking under normal conditions, it is difficult to feel the wear of the rear pads, since 75% of the braking force falls on the front wheels.
But Granta has one clue - this is a hatch in the brake shield, closed with a rubber plug. It can be found if you pick up the dirt on the back of the shield.
If you open the hatch, the wear of the front pad will be clearly visible, and the front pad wears out much faster than the rear one.
If you replace the pads on only one side, the car may pull to the side when braking, especially on slippery roads.
Changing brake pads on a Grant with ABS
The process of replacing pads on a Grant with and without ABS differs only in small details. Firstly, a drive disc is installed behind the brake drum. Secondly, there is an ABS sensor installed in the brake shield on the rear side, which will need to be removed. Thirdly, the pads for cars with ABS have technological holes for this sensor.
First of all, you need to release the handbrake cables. If we still have the factory heat protection installed above the muffler, it will have to be removed by unscrewing 4 nuts.
Then we simply unscrew the handbrake tensioner locknut with a 13 mm wrench, and loosen the second nut until it stops.
We get to the brake mechanism. We fix the car with wheel chocks, jack up the right or left rear part, having previously removed the wheel bolts. We remove the wheel.
Using a socket or 7 mm spanner, unscrew the guide pins that secure the drum to the hub.
How to remove a brake drum on a Grant
To remove the brake drum without any problems, we use the civilized “impactless” method. We look carefully at the brake drum holes, located at the same diameter as the guide holes. They are diametrically opposite and have threads cut into them.
In order to remove the drum from the hub without effort and a hammer, we screw two bolts 50-60 mm long with the same threads as on the guide pins into these holes.
We screw the bolts evenly, 15.-2 turns on each side.
As a result, the drum will overcome the resistance of the pads even if a groove has formed on the working surface, and will be removed like clockwork.
Now the entire brake mechanism is within reach. First of all, we remove the master disk; nothing else holds it.
Cylinder replacement
I also decided to replace the working cylinder, since brake fluid was leaking from it. In order not to disassemble it again later, it is better to replace it immediately. Moreover, the brake pipe and the cylinder itself unscrewed easily.
I bought a new cylinder (more precisely, 2 at once - for the other side).
The main thing is that the tube unscrews, and the mounting bolts can be broken. New ones will still be installed. To prevent liquid from flowing from the tube, you can put a rubber cap on it, which is installed on the new cylinder.
Now you need to thoroughly clean everything from rust with a wire brush. When installing a new brake cylinder, I recommend lubricating the bolt threads with graphite. Next, insert the tube and loosen the bypass valve. The liquid will flow by gravity and fill the working cavity. When it starts to come out of the valve, you can tighten it.
Possible difficulties and solutions
- It is always better to use original spare parts or suitable replacements;
- The rear wheels are securely fixed with wheel chocks;
- Replacement is carried out only comprehensively;
- After completing the procedure, it is necessary to monitor the brake fluid level.
You should not worry if you experience an unpleasant sound after replacement. New elements should get used to the brake discs after several thousand kilometers.
The following video will help every Lada Granta owner learn the step-by-step work of replacing front brake parts with current examples.
According to the maintenance regulations, we check the condition of the brake system every 15 thousand km.
We carry out the work on an inspection ditch or overpass.
To check the functionality of the vacuum brake booster when the engine is not running, press the brake pedal 5-6 times and, holding it down, start the engine. If the vacuum booster is working properly, after starting the engine the pedal should move slightly forward. If this does not happen or the braking is not effective enough (you have to press the brake pedal with great force), you need to check the tightness of the connections of the vacuum supply hose to the vacuum booster and the serviceability of the booster itself.
We check the condition of the brake pipes. The tubes must be securely fastened in the holders and have no dents, mechanical damage, deep corrosion, or signs of brake fluid leakage. If necessary, we tighten the connecting fittings or replace faulty parts.
We inspect the brake hoses; there should be no cracks, tears or abrasions on them.
We check the condition of each hose by creating fluid pressure in the brake system. To do this, the assistant must press the brake pedal firmly and hold it during the inspection. The appearance of rubber swelling or brake fluid leakage from the hose and its tips is not allowed. If damage is detected, replace the hoses as a set.
We check the condition and degree of wear of the brake pads and discs of the front wheels. To check, remove the front wheels one by one.
General issues
Let's figure out when you need to change the pads and what to choose from components.
When to change rear pads
The rear pads on the Grant are changed at the following indicators:
- the wheels make noise - rattle - vibrate when braking;
- 1.5 mm (or less) left on the pads;
- the pads have delaminated, causing the wheels to periodically jam;
- stopped holding the handbrake;
- You recently changed the front pads, but haven’t touched the rear ones yet.
Selection of components for Grants
We have compiled a table of article numbers for spare parts for replacing brakes. Here it is (can be used to search and order online):
