Brake pads of the car can be considered an expendable material, since their use resource is limited. The more often you press on the brakes, the closer the day when the replacement of brake discs will become inevitable. If this day has come, and for some reason you do not have access to the service center, then the procedure for replacing brake pads can be made yourself. This requires a tool in the form of a set of head keys for 12, 14 and 16. And also an iron brush. So, how exactly is the replacement of the brake discs?
First of all, you need to prepare the machine, for this purpose the head key We relax wheel bolts, we substitute under the car a jack, we lift a car and, having braided all bolts, we remove a wheel. We clean the iron suspension bracket from the adhered mud. After the car is prepared, you can start dismantling. But before you start to do this, it's worth noting: it's much more convenient to replace the shoes with the wheel set in advance, which means if the work is done on the left wheel, turn the steering wheel to the right to the stop - and vice versa, when working on the right wheel . Having done this, we dismantle the support. It is not difficult to disassemble the support, since it is supported by only one bolt located at the very bottom. We unscrew this bolt and put it on a clean surface so as not to get stained with sand. Raise the caliper and carefully take out the old pads.
We try not to damage the overlay, because as for the installation - it will need to be returned to its place. There on the brake pads there is a pshchalka (plate), necessary for To make a sound of a rattle when the shoe becomes unusable. We shoot it too, but you do not need to be very cautious with it, because it will be replaced by a new one. Then comes the most difficult operation. There can be such a situation: if you put new pads, the support can not sit down in place. Proceeding from this, press the piston of the cylinder inwards. Press on two pistons at the same time, otherwise, pressing on one (which will go easily), squeezes out the neighboring one. You can crush the collar or the key, but it's more effective to do it with your fingers. Sometimes it may be necessary and boring brake discs. After the pistons are drowned, we mount new pads, not forgetting to put the lining. Next, put a new pshchakalka on the old place and close the slide. Before fixing the bolt, it is necessary to straighten and align the anther to prevent dust from getting on the mount. Now screw the bolt and tighten it tightly.
After the above-described replacement of the pads will be made on the other brake discs, we put the wheel in place. That's all. And on this replacement of brake discs is not without reason considered to be safely completed. Do not tighten with this repair, because the wear of the brake discs can lead to not very pleasant consequences. A timely replacement of brake discs will help prevent emergencies. With a timely technical inspection, it is not difficult to detect a malfunction. Only in this case you can be completely sure - the trip will be safe.
