Attention. Be sure to replace all the pads on one axle of the car, even if one pad has reached the wear limit. If the pads are to be reinstalled, they must be marked before removal.
Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the front wheels.
Bendix brakes
Remove the R-shaped bracket from the guide pin and knock the pin out of the caliper (see Fig. 9.1, 9.2).
Unscrew the nut and remove the brake hose from the suspension bracket (see Fig. 9.3).
Tilt the piston body upward and secure it in this position.
Remove the brake pads (see Fig. 9.4).
Clean dust and dirt from the caliper and piston.
If new brake pads are to be installed, press the piston into the caliper. This can be done with a wooden rod or a hammer handle. Be especially careful that the piston is not warped and that the piston and dust boot surfaces are not damaged.
Attention. When the piston is pushed in, the brake fluid is forced out of the brake cylinder into the expansion tank. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the fluid level in the tank, and if necessary, pump out a small amount of fluid from the tank.
When installing old brake pads, place them in their original positions.
Insert the inner and outer brake pads into the caliper.
Lower the caliper down and secure it with the pin and R-clamp.
Connect the brake hose to the bracket.
Repeat the operation on the opposite wheel.
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should not exceed the "max" mark. Press the brake pedal several times to press the pads against the disc, and recheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
Install the wheels and lower the vehicle.
After installing new brake pads, they must be worked in. It is not recommended to perform maximum braking during the first 200 km of run.
Teves brakes
Using pliers and a screwdriver, remove the mounting spring from the caliper (see Fig. 9.5).
Remove the guide pin plugs. Unscrew the guide pins with an Allen key. Remove the piston body from the pad holder and hang it on a wire to the shock absorber strut (see Fig. 9.6-9.9).
Remove the pads from the piston housing or pad holder. Typically, the outer pad remains in the pad holder and the inner pad remains in the piston housing (see Fig. 9.10, 9.11).
Clean any dust or dirt from the caliper and piston. If new brake pads are to be installed, press the piston into the piston housing.
Attention. When the piston is pushed in, the brake fluid is forced out of the brake cylinder into the expansion tank. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the fluid level in the tank, and if necessary, pump out a small amount of fluid from the tank.
When installing previously removed pads, install them in their original places. Install the outer brake pad in the holder. Install the inner pad with the mounting bracket in the piston and fix it. Install the piston body on the holder and insert the guide pins. Tighten the guide pins to the required torque. Repeat the operation on the opposite wheel. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should not exceed the "max" mark. Press the brake pedal several times to press the pads against the disc, and recheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
Install the wheels and lower the vehicle.
