Brake pads VAZ-2110: how to replace?

Serviceable pads are a pledge not only for your safety, but for the safety of other participants in the movement. Excessive wear of these elements increases the risk of losing control of the car and provoking an accident. In order not to become a victim of own negligence, it is necessary to regularly check the condition of the pads and change them in time. By the way, for this purpose it is absolutely not necessary to contact the car service center.

. In this article, we will look at how to replace the front and rear brake pads of the VAZ-2110 . But first let's figure out the signs of their malfunction, the methods of diagnosis and the choice of a suitable model.

Design and operation principle of front wheel brakes

The front wheels "dozens" have a disk structure. Its basis is:

• brake disk;
• Caliper;
• Service brake cylinder with piston;
• Two pads;
• Fastening elements.

When we press the brake pedal, the fluid acts on the piston of the working cylinder and moves the caliper. Pads placed inside it, while pressing against the brake disc, causing the hub to stop spinning.

How to understand that the front pads are about to change

Every detail of any mechanism has its own resource, after which it must be changed. - не исключение. The front pads of the VAZ-2110 are no exception. Their resource, according to the car manufacturer, is 10,000 kilometers. But this is only if they are used normally. Often they fail much earlier. About their malfunction they can declare:

• A warning light on the dashboard;
• A decrease in the efficiency of braking and the "wagging" of the rudder;
• Creak, grinding, crunching during braking.

имеют в своей конструкции датчик износа. Someone, probably, will be surprised, but the front brake pads VAZ-2110 have a wear sensor in their construction. When they are erased more than normal, a warning light in the form of a wheel lights up on the dashboard. This is the first evidence that it's time to change the pads.

If you notice during the braking process that the car begins to lose control and during this time external sounds are heard from the front wheels, this is also an occasion for diagnosing the brake mechanism.

How to test the pads

Checking the pads is to determine the thickness of their pads. To do this, of course, you need to dismantle the wheel and dismantle the caliper or drum. Measurements are made by a caliper or a standard ruler. The thickness of the lining should be not less than 1.5 mm. If the result of your measurements is close to this value, hurry to replace the pads.

What brake pads on the VAZ-2110 choose

Only the right choice of brake system components will allow you to feel confident on the road. And do not save here. As for the manufacturer, then, as usual, the preference should be given to the original. идут под каталожными номерами 2110-3501080, 2110-3501080-82 или 2110-3501089. Brake pads front VAZ-2110 go under the catalog numbers 2110-3501080, 2110-3501080-82 or 2110-3501089. Such details are inexpensive - about 300 rubles. You can choose the pads and famous world manufacturers of auto parts. They will cost more (up to 1000 rubles), but their quality is much better.

In no case should not buy cheap analogs from Asia. Not only do they wear twice as fast, their design is quite fragile.

Important: the pads, both front and rear, change only in pairs and always on both axle wheels! That's why branded parts are sold exclusively in a set of four products.

Necessary tools and tools

So, if you have already purchased replacement parts, take care that you have the tools and tools at hand. Among them:

• jack;
• Balloon wrench;
• Liquid against rust;
• Medical syringe for 20 cubes;
• Keys on 13 and 17;
• Slotted screwdriver;
• Pliers;
• Hammer and chisel;
• Pipe (gas) key.

Change the front pads

производится следующим образом: Replacement of front brake pads on VAZ-2110 is made as follows:

1. We put the car on a level platform. We fix the rear wheels.
2. Turn off the wheel bolts, jack the body and dismantle the wheel. We turn the steering wheel towards the dismantled wheel until it stops.
3. We inspect the brake mechanism for mechanical damage.
4. Determine the amount of brake fluid in the tank. If it's full, use a syringe to take out the liquid (30-50 ml).
5. We knock off a lock ring from the bottom bolt of fastening of a support. For this we use a hank and chisel.
6. The key on the 13th is the lower bolt of the caliper. Hold the guide finger with a key to 17. If necessary, use liquid against rust.
7. We take out a bolt and we remove a support with the cylinder.
8. . Open the support and extract the brake pads VAZ-2110 from it.
9. The wear sensor is mounted on the rear (inner) shoe. Using pliers, bite off the wire that goes to him. Then disconnect the sensor connector.
10. We install new pads in the caliper. Be careful and do not mistake. Inside there is a shoe on which the sensor is mounted.
11. If the piston of the cylinder interferes with the installation, "drown" its protrusions with a pipe wrench.
12. After installing the shoes, connect the sensor to the wiring harness.
13. Assemble in the reverse order.
14. Following this algorithm, we make the replacement of the pads on the other wheel.

After completion of the work, do not forget to add the brake fluid to the reservoir. Also check if the lamp on the dashboard is lit.

Rear Brake Design

Brakes of rear wheels "tens" have a drum-like design. It includes:

• Service brake cylinder;
• Two pads;
• Parking brake actuator;
• Fastening elements.

The principle of the rear brake mechanism is as follows. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake fluid acts on the pistons of the working cylinder. They push and push the pads apart. Their lining rests against the working surface of the drum, causing it to stop the rotation.

The manual brake is actuated by means of a cable and pull rod. We pull the handle, the rope acts on the pull, it spreads the pads.

What will it take to replace the back blocks?

To begin with, you should buy the pads yourself. When choosing them, follow the advice given above. под оригинальными номерами 21080-3502090, 21080-3502090-00, 21080-3502090-55, 21080-3502090-90, 2108-3502090, 2108-3502090-80. Domestic manufacturers of auto parts sell the rear brake pads VAZ-2110 under the original numbers 21080-3502090, 21080-3502090-00, 21080-3502090-55, 21080-3502090-90, 2108-3502090, 2108-3502090-80. It will not be superfluous to buy a set of springs: tightening and guiding.

Tools will require:

• jack;
• Balloon wrench;
• a hammer;
• Wooden spacer;
• A wrench for 8;
• Two spanners for 13;
• Liquid against rust;
• Long nippers.

, не поленитесь отпустить трос ручного тормоза. Before changing brake pads to VAZ-2110 , do not be too lazy to release the cable of the handbrake. Without this, given that they do not have any wear and tear, you will hardly be able to install them in the drum. The cable on the inspection pit is loosened by means of two lockshield keys at 13.

We change the back pads on the "ten"

The process of replacing the rear pads is as follows:

1. We put the car on a level platform, immobilize the front wheels. We turn away bolts of fastening of the necessary wheel.
2. We jack up the body, unscrew the bolts completely, dismantle the wheel.
3. Using a key on 8, unscrew the guide pins on the brake drum (2 pcs.).
4. Using a hammer and spacer, knock the drum off the hub. If it does not give in, we work the place where it "sits" on the ledge of the hub, the liquid against rust.
5. With long-nose pliers, remove the guides (small) springs from both pads.
6. Using the same tool, stretch and remove first the upper coupling spring, then the lower one.
7. We install new pads and we make installation of the mechanism in the reverse order.

Be sure to adjust the parking brake!

– процесс совсем несложный и не отнимет у вас много времени. As you can see, replacing brake pads on VAZ-2110 is a very simple process and will not take you much time. Change them on time, and your car will always obey you.
