Car brake pads can be consideredconsumables, as their resource use is limited. The more often you push 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 the opportunity to contact the service center, the procedure for replacing brake pads can be done by yourself. This will require a tool in the form of a set of head wrenches for 12, 14 and 16. And also an iron brush. So how exactly does the brake disc replacement work?
First you need to prepare the car, for this head key
расслабляем болты колеса, подставляем под car jack, lift the car and, twisting all the bolts, remove the wheel. We clean the suspension from the adhering dirt with an iron brush. Once the car is prepared, you can proceed to dismantle. But before you start to do this, it is worth noting: it is much more convenient to replace the pads when the wheel is pre-set correctly, which means that if you are working on the left wheel, you should unscrew the steering wheel to the right until it stops - and, conversely, when working on the right wheel . Having done this, disassemble the caliper. Disassemble the caliper is not difficult, as it rests on just one bolt located at the bottom. We unscrew this bolt and put it on a clean surface so as not to get sand stained. Raise the caliper and gently remove the old pads.
We try not to damage the cover, because when installing - it will need to be returned to its place. In the same place on the brake pads there is a squeaker (plate), necessary for that
to make a rattle sound when the padwill become worthless. We remove it too, but we don’t need to be especially careful with it, because it will be replaced with a new one. Next comes the hardest operation. There may be such a situation: if you put new pads, the caliper will not be able to sit down. Based on this, we press the piston inside the cylinder. It is necessary to press on two pistons at the same time, otherwise, pressing on one (which will go easy), the next one will squeeze. You can push it with a key or a key, but it is more effective to do it with your fingers. Sometimes it may be necessary and boring brake discs. After the pistons are drowned, install new pads, not forgetting to put the pad. Next, put a new squeaker on the old place and close the caliper. Before you fasten with a bolt, you must straighten and align the boot to prevent dust from getting onto the mount. Now screw in the bolt and firmly tighten.
After the above replacement padswill be produced on other brake discs, put in place the wheels. That's all. And on this replacement brake discs is not without reason considered safely completed. It is not necessary to delay with a similar repair, since the wear of the brake discs may entail not very pleasant consequences. A timely replacement of the brake discs will help prevent accidents. With timely technical inspection to identify the fault is not difficult. Only in this case, you can be completely sure - the trip will be safe.
