How to replace brake pads on a VAZ 21213 yourself

The braking system is very important for driving safety. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor its serviceability. One of the main elements of the brake system are brake pads (BC), which, due to friction, slow down the rotation of the wheel. Naturally, over time they wear out and require replacement. You can perform the operation of replacing the TC on a Niva yourself in a garage.

All elements of the car wear out to varying degrees during operation, depending on the load experienced. The wear of brake pads is influenced by many factors, so the frequency of replacement for each Niva will be different.

SUVs are used in difficult off-road conditions, so they are replaced after 15-20 kilometers. The reason for rapid wear is the nature of the road surface on which the vehicle has to drive: sand, water and dirt.

The wear and tear of the roadway depends not only on the quality of the road surface, but also on other factors:

• climatic conditions of the area where the SUV is operated;
• driver's driving style;
• quality of consumables.

The manufacturer recommends replacement after an average of 30-50 thousand. But given that wear varies, experts strongly recommend checking the brake system every 10 thousand kilometers.

When checking, you need to pay attention to the presence of creaks, other extraneous sounds, and smooth braking. When replacing, in parallel, you should check the integrity of the anthers on the guides, brake hoses, rubber covers, and the degree of wear of the brake discs

This is necessary for timely identification and elimination of faults.

The front axle bears the main load, so the front axles wear out faster than the rear ones. On average, for every rear pad replacement, there are two front pad replacements.

Any driver can understand that there is a problem with the brake pads if he pays attention to the characteristic symptoms:

• increased braking distance;
• knocking noise when braking hard;
• ineffective brake operation;
• creaking when braking;
• metal shavings on brake discs or pads.

If at least one of the signs appears, it is necessary to check the brake system and replace worn parts if the following signs of wear are found:

• cracks and delaminations of the TC are visible;
• defects in the form of chips and scratches were found on the surface of the block or lining;
• a protruding rim has formed along the edge of the disk;
• the thickness of the linings on the pads is less than the required technical specifications;
• uneven wear of the TC.

The pads must be changed in pairs: two front, two rear. When replacing the pads on only one wheel, the driver will not be able to brake effectively; the car may pull to the side when braking, which threatens to create an emergency situation on the road. The thickness of the overlay is measured using a caliper. The minimum thickness allowed is 1.5 mm.

To carry out the replacement you will need the following tools:

• jack;
• wheel wrench;
• a set of keys;
• pliers;
• gas wrench or sliding pliers;
• flat blade screwdriver;
• hammer;
• mounting blade;
• support post;
• calipers.

Naturally you need to buy new brake pads. It is advisable to have WD-40 penetrating fluid to relieve stuck fasteners.

Changing the pads of the front wheel pair

To make it convenient to work, we place the SUV on a flat, horizontal plane. We place wheel chocks under the rear wheels and set the handbrake. Before dismantling work, we treat the threaded connections with WD-40. We perform the replacement according to the following algorithm:

• We tear off the wheel mounting bolts with a spray bottle. Let's jack up the side of the car on which we will carry out the replacement. We install the car on a support stand for safety.
• We unscrew all the bolts and remove the wheel.
• Using pliers, pull out the cotter pin of the pressure lever (PR) of the lower axle.

Analogs

If you want to save on purchasing original spare parts, pay attention to analogues. They are in no way inferior to parts from AvtoVAZ or LADA, and sometimes even surpass them in certain characteristics.

The selection of similar parts is large, so choosing the necessary ones will not be difficult. The main thing is to pay attention to the article number. This will prevent you from purchasing a low quality fake. Also, fake parts do not have markings, or they are poorly printed on the products themselves.

The minimum thickness of the brake pad linings should be 1.5 millimeters. To assess the condition of parts without removing them, you can use the inspection window. It is located in the brake shield.

Removing and replacing rear brake pads Niva Chevrolet

The principle of operation of the rear and front pads is to bring the wheel to a stationary state, as it is also called sedentary (during slow braking). The only difference is the design of the front and rear brake systems. Rear brakes are used to manually brake a vehicle.

See:

Removing the pads is done in a similar way with the front wheels. The pads are designed in an arc shape and are replaced in pairs. First, the brake drum is removed, then we measure its internal diameter, which must not be less than 201 mm. The block is removed by removing the tension springs from above and below using a screwdriver. The earring is removed, which serves as a gap adjuster. The cable ends are disconnected and the tension spring is removed. Next, we remove the old worn pads and replace them with new ones. Reassembly of the rear brake pads is carried out similarly to disassembly in reverse order. The brake system of the rear wheels does not require bleeding. It is only necessary to adjust the cable tension and thereby adjust the handbrake lever. To find out more about setting the handbrake, there is an option in the “Chevrolet Niva Handbrake” section.

will not take more than 4 hours. Only now will you become completely confident in your SUV, and it will never let you down on any road.

Do you still think that diagnosing a car is difficult?

If you are interested in this issue, then you are interested in doing something in the car yourself and really saving money, since you already know that:

• Service stations charge a lot of money for simple computer diagnostics
• To find out the error you need to go to specialists
• The services use simple impact wrenches, but you can’t find a good specialist

And you are tired of throwing money away, and driving around the service station is constantly out of the question, then you need a simple CAR SCANNER ELM327, which connects to any car and through a regular smartphone you will always find the problem, turn off CHECK and save a lot of money.

Replacing front pads

It is logical that for replacement it is better to select original parts or those that have received official approval from the manufacturer. For the further process, you should hang the wheel and secure the car properly. Replacement procedure: Remove the wheel.

1. Remove the cotter pin of the lower axle clamping element.
2. Partially knock out the axle and then remove it with pliers while holding the lever.
3. Remove the lever.
4. Remove both springs so they don't get lost in the process.
5. Remove the brake caliper using a screwdriver.
6. Remove the pads from the guide.

Before installing new parts, press the pistons into the cylinders as much as possible. This is done with an installation spatula, pliers or an adjustable wrench. Afterwards the assembly is assembled in the reverse order. To simply install the clamping lever axis, it is recommended to slightly sharpen it into the shape of a nail and lubricate it with graphite lubricant.

Niva front brake cylinder, problem solving

Disassembled cylinder and Seiken lubricant The first problem was solved in a simple way. Complete disassembly of the unit, washing and reassembly with lubricant designed to work with rubber seals and brake fluid. My friend helped, who has been repairing hydraulic systems all his life, from loaders to industrial presses. He gave me a tube of glamorous pink lubricant, made in Japan. On the Internet it is known under the Toyota brand, although in fact it is made by Seiken. There is also a slightly cheaper analogue, the German trendsetter in brakes, the ATE brand. The cylinders that are in the price list are additionally treated with just these lubricants, depending on their availability. On forums I often came across the opinion that it is enough to apply lubricant under the boot and everything will be fine. WILL NOT BE! You have to disassemble the entire cylinder to get to the O-ring, and nothing else. The lubricant will not get there naturally. The problem with rubber bands can be solved by installing a repair kit. Several companies produce it for our cylinders, but this will be the subject of the second part of the article.

[edit] "Niva" and the bourgeoisie

Niva was actively exported to other countries. It is the only Avtotaz product that is truly known and famous in Europe, and not as a piece of socialist shit. There are more than 9,000 cars of this brand in the Spanish, French and Greek mountains; converted police and rescue Nivas are found in the mountains of Bulgaria and Montenegro. It also happens in southwest Germany. Not too often, but still. Tyoma even met the subject in harsh Greenland. Moreover, this is the only Soviet car officially exported to Japan. Occasionally he returned to his historical homeland, already with air conditioning. However, such a crappy air conditioner can now be installed right here.

Also, "VAZ-2121" appeared in the film "Detroit - City of Rock" about four rabid fans of the group KISS, for example. More specifically, the episode with the delivery of pizza to a parochial school; the delivery man arrived in a sub. And also in the funeral episode of the film “Largo Winch: The Beginning,” a red Niva with horizontal optics flashed.

How to change rear pads on a Chevrolet Cruze

We replace the pads in case of maximum permissible wear of their linings. Our step-by-step illustrated instructions will help the owner of a Chevrolet Cruze cope with this operation.

The Chevrolet Cruze maintenance regulations do not limit the service life of the rear wheel brake pads, however, the pads are replaced in case of maximum permissible wear of their linings or when replacing the rear wheel brake disc, as well as when the linings are oily or have deep grooves or cracks on them and chips, in case of detachment of the linings from the base of the pads. The inner pads are equipped with acoustic wear indicators that begin to make a grinding noise during braking when the pad wear approaches the maximum allowable level. If you hear a grinding noise when braking your car, it’s time to change the pads.

Attention! The brake pads of the rear wheels must be replaced only as a set - all four brake pads. Replacing the pads of only one brake mechanism can lead to the car pulling to the side when braking.

We show how to replace the pads on the brake mechanism of the left wheel; we replace the pads on the brake mechanism of the right wheel in the same way.

Remove the rear wheel and place the car on a factory-made stand.

2290-17-05-01

Using a 13mm wrench, rotate the anti-vibration weight of the brake mechanism counterclockwise using the hexagon, holding the lower guide pin of the caliper with a 18mm wrench.

Remove the anti-vibration weight.

2290-17-05-03

Using a 10mm spanner, unscrew the bolt securing the caliper to the upper guide pin, holding the finger by the hexagon with a 18mm spanner.

2290-17-05-04

We move the caliper away from the pad guide without disconnecting the brake hose and the parking brake cable from it.

We place the caliper on a spacer to secure the pad guide.

Using the blade of a screwdriver, we “recess” the retainer on the lower pressure plate of the pads.

Remove the outer brake pad from the pad guide.

Similarly, remove the inner brake pad from the shoe guide.

2290-17-05-08

Before installing new pads, remove the upper and lower pressure plates from the pad guide.

We clean the brake mechanism parts from dirt and corrosion, especially the brake pad pressure plates and their seats in the pad guide. It is prohibited to use gasoline and diesel fuel to clean brake mechanisms. After inserting the pressure plates into the pad guide, we install new brake pads. When installing the inner pad, it must be oriented so that the acoustic wear indicator is located at the top of the pad. Before installing the caliper, it is necessary to move the piston as much as possible inside the cylinder.

2290-17-05-09

We insert pliers with narrow jaws into the piston sockets and turn it clockwise, while simultaneously pressing on the piston.

We inspect the piston boot; if the boot is damaged, replace it. Before installing the caliper, you must also check the condition of the guide pins and their protective covers.

We remove the upper guide pin of the caliper from the hole in the pad guide.

Remove the rubber corrugated cover from the finger.

2290-17-05-12

Similarly, we remove the lower guide pin (with a plastic anti-squeak bushing on the pin rod) from the hole in the pad guide and remove the rubber corrugated cover from it.

We inspect the rubber covers of the guide pins and if the covers are damaged - cracks, tears, loss of rubber elasticity - we replace them with new ones. Having installed new protective covers for the fingers, apply a layer of heat-resistant plastic grease to the pin rods. We insert the fingers into the holes in the pad guide and install the caliper. Tighten the caliper mounting bolt and anti-vibration weight to a torque of 28 Nm. Similarly, we replace the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the right rear wheel. After replacing the pads, press the brake pedal several times to set the gaps between the pads and discs. We check the level of working fluid in the hydraulic reservoir of the brakes and clutch and, if necessary, bring it to normal.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing pads

To replace the pads you will need:

• “balloon”;
• small and large flat screwdriver;
• pliers;
• pipe wrench.

Install the jack and hang the wheel, having first removed the wheel mounting bolts. After removing the wheel, you need to place it under the car as insurance.

Remove the lower caliper pin by pulling the cotter pin using pliers.

Using a thin screwdriver, the finger is pulled out.

Then the pressure bar and two springs are removed.

Using a screwdriver, the caliper is pryed up and pulled up, freeing up space for replacing the pads.

The old pads are removed, after which the caliper cylinders need to be recessed inward. To do this, use a pipe wrench to carefully recess the cylinders without touching the cuffs.

Installing new pads is done in reverse order.

A few words about the problem of the front calipers

All Chevrolet Niva owners note that the front brakes rattle and rattle. This problem can be solved in several ways:

1. installation of new caliper guides;
2. installation of high-quality pads;
3. treat the caliper mechanism and “guide” with copper grease;
4. Apply three drops of sealant where the caliper cylinders touch the pad, which ultimately helps in the entire service life of the pads.

If the above methods did not help, and the brakes still ring and knock, then the last resort is to install calipers from GAZ Sobol.

Removing a soured brake drum VAZ 2123 / Russian crazy service car

In this video I show how to remove

drum
soured on the axle shaft . Special pullers couldn't cope with this.

Having learned from the “bitter” experience of the previous 10, having driven the tires from the passenger compartment, the very first thing I did was remove the drums. I coated the seats with graphite. Such questions no longer arise! ! ! and also loosened all the nuts on the brake pipes, including the ABS unit, one by one. made it possible to lubricate the brake nut contact.

How to remove a brake drum on a Chevrolet Niva.

To remove the drums, try taking vinegar essence into a syringe and carefully saturate the contact area between the drum and the axle shaft through a needle. concentrated essence will eat up corrosion. See here www.autoprospect.ru/chevr…anizmy-zadnikh-koles.html

Trying to knock down a stuck drum with a sledgehammer and a metal spacer leads to deformation of the aluminum edge and even chipping. On the old woman 2121, this method left my drums as if they had been gnawed. Gray as advised and lightly tap on a wooden block in a circle. First of all, tap the area where the axle shaft is stuck and then tap along the edge along the wheel protection from under the car. When you put it in place, apply graphite lubricant to the mating drum - axle shaft. Once again it will be easier.

The metal spacer must be installed correctly, then the edges will remain intact.

A long time ago I removed the drums by tapping them through a piece of wood. First, tap on the side of the wheel, then in a circle and you have to get off. There are also pullers with 3 claws and press the center - their price is 350-500 rubles, you just need to choose the right size

• How to Remove the Rear Brake Drum Niva Chevrolet

We have a Chevrolet Niva car, produced in 2005, with a mileage of 137 thousand km, undergoing scheduled repairs, which requires changing the brake pads of the rear wheels, drums and cylinders. We will show you how to do this on your own, without resorting to the help of professionals.

It looks like the pad on the rear left wheel has been torn off, there is a grinding noise when braking, and when reverse gear is engaged, the wheel jams and then stalls. Therefore, it was decided to immediately lift and change the pads, drums and cylinders on both sides. Later we will bleed the brakes using a vacuum.

Using a 12mm socket, unscrew the drum mounts:

Then we screw in two bolts:

It really didn’t work out for us, all the threads remained on the bolts, it was completely soured, so a hammer will help you, because we will eventually have to change the drum anyway. This situation occurs when, during replacement, the fasteners are not coated with copper grease; I believe that you will not save money in this matter!

Replacing pads on the rear axle

To replace the rear pads, you will need to carry out the same preparatory work, after which the first thing you need to do is loosen the handbrake. Subsequence:

• We remove the spring near the lever from which two cables go.

• Using two “13” keys, you need to unscrew the bracket nuts, after which the cables weaken and do not affect the pads.

You can start directly replacing the pads

• You need to remove the drum from the axle shaft using a “12” key by unscrewing two bolts. The drum often sticks, so you need to tap it with a hammer around the entire perimeter.

• The working cylinder must be pushed inward on both sides using a flat screwdriver.

• You need to pry the tension springs by pulling them out.
• The block must be moved to the side opposite to the other block by the lower part, after which the two blocks are removed from the shield.

• After removing the pads, the brake flap and drum must be cleaned and degreased and checked for the presence or absence of cracks.

how to remove the rear brake drum on a Chevrolet Niva

After completing the work, you must press the brake pedal firmly several times so that the system sets the necessary clearances and adjusts the position of the brake pads.

Remove the two bolts; the photo shows one securing the brake drum to the axle shaft. The car manufacturer recommends checking the pads after mileage. Installation of new pads and assembly is carried out in reverse order.

If the results are different from each other, then the drum is oval in shape. Please note that as the pistons are pressed into the cylinders, the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir rises.

Remove the two bolts; the photo shows one securing the brake drum to the axle shaft.

Remove the drum from the axle shaft with light blows of a hammer. If the drum cannot be removed by hand, knock it down with a hammer using a wooden block, or press it by evenly screwing the bolts into the two threaded holes of the drum.

When installing the old drum, use a file to remove the collar on the working surface of the drum that has formed as a result of wear. Install the drum in the reverse order of removal.

First, clean the axle shaft seat from corrosion, lubricate it with graphite grease or LSC grease, and bring the pads together using two mounting blades. The ability to change consumable parts and independently perform diagnostics increases the safety of the driver and passengers and makes the trip safer.

How to remove the brake drum. (Method No. 2)

The Chevrolet Niva has drum-type brakes on the rear axle. The main component that needs to be replaced periodically are the brake pads. The car manufacturer recommends checking the pads after mileage.

But do not forget that, first of all, these parameters depend on the driving style and operating conditions of the car. On roads with poor surfaces, you tend to have to slow down more often, which leads to faster pad wear. Mainly the outer lining suffers, as it wears out much faster.

To monitor its condition, there is a special window on the drum through which you can see the level of wear.

Contact us

The car can be used if the thickness of the lining is more than 2 millimeters. Otherwise, it is necessary to replace all linings on the rear axle. All 4 are replaced, and in this case the level of wear of the others does not matter.

If you partially replace the brake linings, this will lead to a deterioration in the driving performance of the car and problems with the operation of the braking system. When braking, the car will move away from the trajectory.

Replacing the rear brake wheel cylinder

If during operation there are traces of brake fluid leakage on the brake drum and the inside of the wheel, replace the working cylinder.

Repairing the working cylinder often does not lead to positive results, and this requires special tools. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the cylinder assembly.

You will need: a 10mm wrench and a special wrench for the brake pipe nuts.

1. Engage first gear and install support blocks under the front wheels.

2. Remove the corresponding wheel.

3. Clean the brake pipe mounting area and the brake cylinder mounting bolts on the back side of the brake shield from dirt. To make it easier to unscrew the cylinder mounting bolts and the brake pipe mounting nut, apply WD-40 to the threaded connections.

4. Remove the brake drum.

5. Raise the parking brake lever until the upper ends of the shoes come out of the piston grooves.

6. Unscrew the nut securing the brake pipe to the working cylinder and...

7. ...plug the hole in the tube, for example with the cap of the air release valve

Unscrew the two bolts securing the working cylinder, holding it on the other side, and remove the working cylinder

After long-term use, the brake pipe nut “grows together” with the pipe into one piece, and when you try to unscrew the nut, the pipe twists and breaks.

In this case, just move the tube nut a little, then unscrew the cylinder mounting bolts and disconnect it from the tube, unscrewing the cylinder from its nut.

After disconnecting the cylinder from the tube, the mobility of the freed nut can be restored by moistening it with brake fluid and turning the nut with a wrench alternately in both directions.

10. Install the slave cylinder in the reverse order of removal.

11. Bleed the brake system (only the working cylinder on the wheel being replaced is allowed).

12. Be sure to install the protective cap on the air release valve.

Chevrolet Niva brake system repair

Replacement of front and rear brake pads. 1600 RUR, including spare parts for 1 hour Call

Brake system design

Niva cars use a hydraulic brake system with two circuits operating in parallel. One is connected to the working cylinders of both front and rear wheels, the second - exclusively to the front ones. If one of the circuits fails, braking occurs with less efficiency.

A feature of Chevrolet Niva cars is the diagonal connection of circuits. One is responsible for braking the left front and right rear wheels, the second - for the right front and left rear wheels. This type of braking system is safer.

Among the main components responsible for braking efficiency are the following:• brake wheel cylinders;• vacuum booster;• rear brake pressure regulator;• brake mechanisms, including pads, calipers, discs, drums;• brake fluid level sensor;• pipelines .

Failure of one of these components may result in reduced braking performance.

The vacuum booster reduces the force on the brake pedal required to activate the system. The principle of its operation is to use the vacuum that occurs in the engine intake manifold.

The pressure regulator allows you to reduce the pressure in the rear cylinders at the moment of least contact of the wheels with the road. As the load increases, the pressure increases. This scheme helps prevent skidding when braking.

Niva cars use front disc and rear drum brakes. When warping and wear occur, both discs and drums can be ground to certain sizes in order to increase service life.

Basic work to restore the performance of the brake system

The most worn parts are the brake pads. The pads are replaced at certain intervals depending on the operating modes and the quality of the parts themselves.

Less often there is a need to replace brake discs, and even less often - drums. When parts become warped, a beating sensation is felt on the pedal during braking. In this case, you will need to grind the damaged surface or replace the part.

Not the most reliable unit in Niva is the so-called “sorcerer”, or brake force distributor. Usually, after 2-3 years of operation, you can forget about its normal operation. The mechanism oxidizes and the rear brakes may become completely ineffective. To solve the problem, the distributor can be replaced with a new one or removed altogether, obtaining equal braking forces on both axles. Working cylinders, as a rule, last quite a long time. However, due to corrosion or contamination, the cylinder may stick or jam. In this case, the pads will not be pressed.

If the brake pedal travels down or increases, it is necessary to check the tightness of the pipelines and both circuits in general. Also, brake fluid leaks can be a consequence of unsuitable seals on the working cylinders.

If the brake pedal becomes very hard to press, there may be a problem with the vacuum booster. In this case, it is necessary to check the tightness of the hoses and the amplifier itself. If necessary, replace what is faulty.

After repair work, the brake system must be bled to check for the presence and removal of air. Do not forget that the brake system is one of the most important components in any car. Stopping the vehicle in a timely manner is the key to the safety of the driver and passengers, so the brakes must be constantly maintained in working condition.

Replacing rear brake pads

The Chevrolet Niva car is highly reliable and durable. One of the important advantages of this car is the ability to make minor repairs yourself, without visiting a service station.

One of these components is the car’s braking system. The ability to change consumable parts and independently perform diagnostics increases the safety of the driver and passengers and makes the trip safer.

The Chevrolet Niva has drum-type brakes on the rear axle. The main component that needs to be replaced periodically are the brake pads. The car manufacturer recommends checking the pads after 20,000 miles. Replacement is carried out after 30,000 kilometers.

But do not forget that, first of all, these parameters depend on the driving style and operating conditions of the car. On roads with poor surfaces, you tend to have to slow down more often, which leads to faster pad wear. Mainly the outer lining suffers, as it wears out much faster. To monitor its condition, there is a special window on the drum through which you can see the level of wear.

The car can be used if the thickness of the lining is more than 2 millimeters. Otherwise, it is necessary to replace all linings on the rear axle. All 4 are replaced, and in this case the level of wear of the others does not matter.

If you partially replace the brake linings, this will lead to a deterioration in the driving performance of the car and problems with the operation of the braking system. When braking, the car will move away from the trajectory.

To replace brake pads in a field, you must place the car on a flat surface. After this, you need to put stops under the front wheels to prevent them from rolling. The vehicle must be released from the parking brake.

Next, you need to slightly loosen the wheel bolts, lift the car with a jack and remove the wheel.

For further actions, you will need a key size 13. Use it to loosen the parking brake cable. To do this, loosen the nut and locknut.

After this, using a 12mm wrench, unscrew the bolts holding the brake drum.

If the car was driven in winter, a problem such as drum sticking may occur. To fix this problem, you need to tap the drum around the circumference using a wooden or rubber mallet. If you don't have a mallet, you can use a regular hammer. But the blows must be delivered through a wooden block or piece of rubber.

Attention! The use of lubricants is strictly prohibited. This can damage the car's braking system.

After the drum is removed, it is carefully inspected for damage. Sometimes, when using a car, cracks, grooves or chips may appear on it. If there are defects, the drum must be replaced.

Before removing the Chevrolet Niva brake pads, you need to use two levers to press the pistons into the wheel cylinder. This is necessary to install new brake pads.

The garter spring and spacer bar are removed next.

When removing, be careful because a spring that pops out can hurt your hands.

Then, using pliers, you need to unscrew the outer cup until the slots on it line up with certain protrusions on the stand.

These parts are quite small; it is better to use a separate container for storing them. If there is rust or dust on the surface, it must be cleaned immediately.

Now you can carefully move the front pad to remove the lower spring.

In a similar way, the rear block is removed and the cable that controls the parking brake is disconnected.

Replacing rear brake pads on a Niva Chevrolet usually does not take much time. Installation of new pads and assembly is carried out in reverse order.

After completing the work, you must press the brake pedal firmly several times so that the system sets the necessary clearances and adjusts the position of the brake pads. Also, after replacement, it is recommended to maintain the speed limit and avoid increased braking efforts.

Replacing front pads

The process of installing new auto parts is simple, so there is no need to visit the dealership. You can do it yourself, but don't forget to prepare your equipment. Follow these steps:

• Place the machine on a lift or above an inspection ditch. This will be required to gain access to the front pads.
• Hang up the first wheel and remove it. Then remove the cotter pin located on the front axle of the lever. Using a drift, remove the axle of the clamping lever and then remove the axle using pliers, holding the lever.
• Carefully remove the pressure lever and remove the springs from the guide. It's better to put them aside so as not to lose them. Lift the brake caliper using a screwdriver and place it on the steering knuckle.
• You need to remove the guides from the brake pad. Before installing new pads, move the pistons as far inside the cylinders as possible. The pistons are pressed with a gas wrench or a mounting blade into the cylinders.

We install new components, pressing the lever, and assemble the assembly in the reverse order (that is, we return the guides, caliper, and so on to their places). To make it easier to install the axle, sharpen its tip into a cone shape on a sharpener. Don't forget to lubricate the part with a graphite-based compound.

Original auto parts

The part itself consists of a metal base and a ceramic or synthetic lining. Due to increased friction, components must be fire resistant and wear resistant. There are both disc and drum variations of the systems. The pads in both cases differ in shape and method of fastening. As a rule, the drum version is rarely used, and only on the rear wheels. The LADA Sport kit will cost you about 650 rubles. It already has all four parts, you don’t have to buy anything else. They have a width of 8 millimeters and a length of 11 cm. A quiet and high-quality replacement option. Don't forget to check that the article numbers match one of the ones below:

• 2108-3501080;
• 21080350180083;
• 2108-3501800-83.
