Front Brake Pad Replacement Guide

The frequency of replacing the front brake pads on a VAZ 2106 depends primarily on the mileage of the car, as well as on the quality of the linings themselves. It happens that on good quality pads alone you can drive more than 50,000 km with a moderate driving style. And there are also some vehicles that you can’t drive even five thousand: they start creaking and buzzing terribly, and the quality of braking becomes simply disgusting.

In order to replace the front brake pads on a VAZ 2106, you will need the following tool:

• Flathead and Phillips screwdriver
• Pliers
• Hammer (if necessary)

Pedal sticking

If the brake pedal does not move back when pressed, this indicates that the pad is sticking to the disc. This phenomenon is possible in frosty weather when moisture gets on the brake elements, but it would be useful to inspect the pads. If the car cannot be stopped for a long time when you press the pedal, then the reason lies in worn out pads or air getting into the hydraulic system. You will need to inspect the brake components and possibly bleed the brakes.

What are they used for?

When you press the brake pedal, the pressure in the hydraulic system increases and the pads are pressed against the surface of the brake disc or drum. Structurally, a brake pad is a plate on which a lining made of a special material is attached. It contains various components: special rubbers and resins, ceramics, synthetic fibers. The composition may vary depending on the manufacturer. The main requirements that the lining must meet are high wear resistance and the ability to withstand high temperatures, resistance to destruction, but at the same time the material must cause minimal wear of the brake disc.

Payment via PayPal

Pads for VAZ 2106

Despite the fact that the model has long been discontinued, there are plenty of original spare parts on the car market. In addition to factory parts, a number of components manufactured by foreign companies are available for sale. Obviously, the price of domestic brake system elements will be cheaper than their foreign counterpart.

Brake pads must be replaced if the limiting friction lining thickness of 2.0 mm is reached. Below this norm, there is a high probability of deformation and splitting of the lining into pieces. Elements of the brake system must be immediately replaced if engine, transmission oil or antifreeze gets on the surface.

The process of replacing pads is not complicated; every driver can do it, even without experience in servicing equipment.

What rear brake pads can be installed on a VAZ 2106

The original rear brake pads are 3.5mm thick. With use, the friction lining wears out and is erased. When the thickness reaches 1.5 mm, the part must be replaced. Further operation of the machine is unsafe.

The process of replacing rear pads is as simple as replacing the front ones. Unless a handbrake cable is added, which should be removed. It is not necessary to have any special experience or skills. Please resort to the help of service station workers if you identify a large-scale breakdown that requires prompt intervention from professionals.

How to independently replace the front and rear pads on a VAZ 2106

Preparatory stage: a set of automotive tools, rags, new pads, liquid to remove layers of rust and corrosion.

• Place the machine on a level platform. The option with an inspection hole or road overpass is excluded due to inefficiency;
• We jack up the front wheel with a hydraulic jack, remove it, having previously installed the wheel chocks;
• Use pliers to remove the guide pins. Please pay attention to the pressure springs; they may fly out during the work;
• Using a flat-tip screwdriver, press the slave cylinder into its original position. We widen the gaps to remove the brake pads;
• We remove worn pads, carry out preventive maintenance on the brake caliper, and clean it from rust and deposits. If necessary, use a liquid like WD-40;
• Replace with new pads, assemble the structure in reverse order.

Subject to the above recommendations and the purchase of original spare parts, the service life of the brake system elements is 20 - 25 thousand km. mileage A moderate driving style and average ambient temperatures will increase the service life by 5 - 7 thousand km.

Sequence of actions when replacing rear pads

Preparatory stage: a set of automotive tools, rags, liquid for removing deposits, a new parking brake cable, graphite-based lubricant.

• We install the car on the inspection hole, fix the front wheels with wheel chocks, remove the rear wheel;
• Underneath the bottom, we unscrew (loosen) the handbrake cable for the convenience of carrying out maintenance work;
• Gently tap the drum guide bolts with a hammer. During operation and installation/disassembly, the bolts stick and are difficult to unscrew. If tapping does not help, spray with liquid to remove deposits, wait 10 minutes, then start unscrewing;
• After removing the drum cover, pay attention to the position of the parking brake lever. If it is not located near the lever, it means it is jammed and must be replaced. If you ignore this signal, it will be problematic to install the drum in its normal position;
• Remove the upper pressure spring, press the strut support, and turn it until it completely coincides with the slot. Remove the two cups and the spring from the stand;
• Disconnect the cable shank from the handbrake lever. We clean the disc from dirt, deposits, and rust;
• We carry out troubleshooting of the brake cylinder and seals. If there are signs of wear, leakage, or deformation, replace it with a new repair kit;
• We remove the parking brake lever from the old pads, take out the cotter pin and washer;
• Please note that the left and right levers are different and not interchangeable. Next, you need to install a spacer bar and move the pads apart. When installed correctly, the lugs are vertical;
• We start a new cable, fix it in the eye;
• We install new pads and assemble the structure in reverse order. If you have any difficulties with installation, it is better to watch the video presented in this manual.

The final stage: adjusting and tensioning the handbrake lever. In accordance with the requirements of the instruction manual, the handbrake should clamp the pads already at 5–6 clicks. Exceeding the norm indicates weakening, and decreasing indicates excessive tension.

The work is carried out on a car with the front wheels hanging (on a lift or a car raised on a jack and installed on supports).

To replace the front brake pads on a VAZ 2106, you will need: calipers, a hammer, firmware (a bit or an old brake pad mounting pin), a file, a mounting blade, pliers, a wrench for wheel bolts, a jack, and supports.

1. Remove the front wheel from the car. Visually check the thickness of the brake pads. If the lining thickness is less than 2 mm, remove the brake pads for inspection.

2. Clean the brake mechanism from dirt, especially the brake pad mounting pins.

3. To facilitate disassembly, apply WD-40 type liquid to the joints of the pins and cylinders.

4. Remove the two pin pins.

5. Knock the fingers out of the brake cylinders.

NOTE To replace the brake pads, it is allowed not to completely knock out the pins from the inner wheel cylinder, however, for a detailed inspection of the brake mechanisms or if difficulties arise when knocking out the pins, it is advisable to remove them.

6. Remove the two brake pad pressure springs.

7. Remove the outer and inner brake pads.

WARNING Do not press the brake pedal with the brake pads removed to avoid pushing out the pistons from the working cylinders.

NOTES Oiling of the lining, disruption of the connection between the lining and the base, chipping and other damage to the surface of the lining are not allowed. If the indicated defects are present, as well as if the lining thickness is 1.5 mm or less, replace the brake pad. If there is uneven lining wear or uneven wear on the linings of one brake mechanism, replace the entire brake caliper assembly or the working cylinders (see “Removing and installing the front brake caliper” and “Replacing the front brake working cylinders”).

8. Wipe the inside of the wheel cylinders with a clean cloth.

9. Inspect the brake cylinder boots. Damage or signs of aging are not allowed.

10. Check the thickness of the brake disc by using a file to remove the shoulder on the disc on both sides. On each side, remove the bead in at least three places.

11. Measure the thickness of the brake disc in at least three places. In any place it should be more than 9 mm. Otherwise, replace the brake disc (see “Replacing the brake disc”).

12. Using a spacer (or a worn brake pad) and a mounting blade, press the pistons into the brake cylinders one by one, resting the blade on the brake disc.

HELPFUL ADVICE As the pistons are pressed into the cylinders, the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir rises. If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at or close to the “MAX” mark, pump out some of the fluid from the reservoir to avoid overflow.

13. Install new brake pads on the VAZ 2106 car in the reverse order of removal.

14. Press the brake pedal several times to set the pistons to the working position.
