Replacing the rear brake pads

Scheme of functioning of the mechanism of automatic adjustment of the brake pad clearance of the rear brake Gerling

Attention! The brake pads are glued to the brake pads. New synchronous block (anterior) has an overlay slightly thicker than an asynchronous shoe (rear). The front brake lining wears out faster and both pads reach the wear limit almost simultaneously.

Withdrawal

1. Loosen rear wheel nuts.

2. Raise and fix the rear of the car, remove the rear wheel.

3. Remove brake drum.

4. Remove the front brake pad conductor (synchronous), while pressing the cup with pliers to the spring of the pad conductor and turning it 90°while holding the conductor rod from behind, remove the cup with the spring and remove the rod of the pad conductor.

5. Pull the front brake shoe away from the brake carrier while simultaneously turning the upper end of the shoe outward.

6. Disconnect the upper and lower return springs from the front shoe.


7. Remove front brake pad (synchronous).

8. Raise the front brake shoe from the support below, using a screwdriver resting against the support, remove the end of the shoe from the support, move it towards the rear shoe and unhook the lower return spring.

9. Pull the front shoe up from the cylinder and move it near the cylinder towards the rear shoe so as not to damage the rubber casing of the cylinder.

10. Unhook the upper return spring with pliers inserted into the hole in the wheel hub flange positioned above the upper return spring after rotating the hub flange appropriately.

11. Tilt the lower part of the front brake shoe forward up until the clearance adjustment lever disengages from the latch.

12. Disconnect the front brake shoe from the pressure bar.

13. Remove the cup, spring and rear brake pad guide (asynchronous), similarly to the conductor of the front pad.

14. Remove the rear brake shoe with handbrake lever and unhook the handbrake cable.

15. Disconnect the automatic clearance adjustment lever with the spring from the rear brake shoe (asynchronous).

Installation

1. Check and clean parts and bearing brake shield (can be washed with alcohol).

2. Apply a small amount of Wolfracote Special Grease to the six elements of the load-bearing brake shield.

3. Connect the automatic lash adjustment lever with the spring and the handbrake cable to the rear brake shoe (asynchronous).

4. Insert back pad (asynchronous), resting its ends on the piston and support in the lower part of the bearing brake shield.


5. Install rear brake pad guide (asynchronous).

6. Hook return springs (top and bottom) for the front brake pad (synchronous), holding the block perpendicular to the load-bearing brake shield.

7. Install the lower end of the front brake pad (synchronous) in the support at the bottom of the bearing brake shield, and the upper end of this shoe in the piston groove.

8. Press the front shoe against the bearing brake shield.

9. Install front brake pad guide (synchronous).

10. Connect the gap adjustment lever to the latch and attach the upper return spring to the front shoe (synchronous).

11. Press the latch down and tilt the front brake shoe up to disengage the clearance adjustment lever.

12. Connect the gap adjustment lever to the push rod.

13. Tilt front brake pad (synchronous) down and reattach the lash adjustment lever to the latch.

14. Install front brake pad (synchronous) next to the support at the bottom of the brake carrier and insert the lower return spring.

15. Hook up the front brake pad (synchronous) screwdriver and install it on the support.

16. Pull the top of the front shoe forward (synchronous) until it is fixed with the adjusting lever.

17. Apply front brake pad (synchronous) to the carrier brake shield and fix the end of the block in the piston groove after loosening the latch with a screwdriver until the conductor hole in the block is aligned with the conductor hole in the carrier brake shield.

18. Install front brake pad guide (synchronous).

19. Install the automatic brake pad adjuster so that the brake pads are pushed back.

20. Install the brake drum.

21. Press the brake pedal several times to make the adjustment mechanism work.

22. Install the rear wheels and tighten the wheel nuts.

23. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts to the correct torque.
