VAZ-2110, rear brake pads: self-replacing

The car VAZ-2110 by right can be considered popular. Everyone knows this car, or at least saw it on the streets of the city. "Ten" - very unpretentious in maintenance and maintainable car. However, sometimes there are malfunctions with it. So, out of order (or rather wear) on the car VAZ-2110 rear brake pads. They are replaced independently. Even a beginner can handle this. The machine has a fairly simple brake system. So, let's look at how to change the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110.

When to change?

The manufacturer has a certain resource. Replacement of these elements is made every 60 thousand kilometers. However, this period may come earlier. Why is this happening? It all depends on the style of riding. If the driver prefers aggressive driving, the life of the rear pads will be halved. And the front ones - four times (because they are affected by a greater effort). Therefore, it is important to be able to determine the malfunction "by ear". When you press the brake pedal, you will hear a characteristic creak of the pads at the rear. This indicates that they have become worthless.

Examine them visually, taking off the drum. It is unacceptable that the thickness of the friction lining is less than two millimeters. Also, the presence of oil stains and chips on the shoe itself is not allowed. If the symptoms and signs are confirmed, it is urgent to change the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110. Replacement is performed with a minimum set of tools. About what is needed for this operation, we will tell right now.

Instruments

What will we need to replace? To install the pad successfully, prepare the following set of tools:

• The key is 12.
• Jack.
• Combination pliers.
• A small stand (you can use a bar).
• Screwdriver.
• A hammer.

Also, we will need the "consumable" itself. Which rear brake pads are better for VAZ-2110? Motorists speak well about the products of the firm "Lucas" and "Dumphy" (details about them - at the end of the article). Their cost is about one thousand rubles per set (includes two friction pads). Before replacing the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110 independently, we note an important point - these elements vary in pairs. If there is a difference in wear on the right and left, you still need to install the kit.

Getting Started - Dismantling

So, let's look at how to change the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110 car. The replacement begins with hanging the rear axle. That is, we need to subdivide part of the body and remove the wheel. After that, we put the stops on the front wheels and under the rear side members (so that the car does not fall if it jumps off the jack).

Next, we remove the drum itself. It is fixed by means of two bolts. For removal, we need a key on 12. If the lid comes out with difficulty (which happens quite often), knock it out with a hammer. Use a wooden substrate to avoid damaging the edges of the drum mechanism. Next, we move on to replacing the shoes themselves. Please note that there may be difficulties. Over the years of operation they strongly adhere to the drum. The occurrence of rust is not ruled out. If the shoe comes out with difficulty, we use the improvised tools. Hammer carefully knock out the part, so as not to damage the base itself. Next, you need to remove the upper spring, which fixes the shoe on the shield. To do this, unscrew the pad to the side by 60 degrees.

Then carefully remove the part from the support. Take the shoe by the side where there is no "sorcerer" (that is, an output to the handbrake). We spread the pads from each other. After dismantling the first we go to the removal of the second part. It will be much easier to extract. Preliminarily do not forget to detach the linkage rod from the cable.

How to install brake pads rear?

VAZ-2110 continues to be on the jack. At this time, we bend the piston of the cylinder inward until it stops and attach the pull of the handbrake to the new shoe. After that, install the cotter pins and the guide spring back. We connect the cable back to the handle. We connect the upper spring with both pads. Then install the latter to the brake cylinder. We pull the block from below. So you pull the spring to place it in the spacer bar. We put the second shoe in place. Make sure that it is exactly in place of the mounting bar. With the help of pliers, we compress the second spring with the element. Please note - the handlebar cable must not touch the drum elements that rotate. Otherwise, it can be interrupted.

Collect the lid of the drum and put the wheel in place. At this stage, we successfully installed brake rear pads. VAZ-2110 can be lowered from the jack and test the efficiency of the new brakes. An important point is that the wheel on the suspended state should be free to scroll. If it comes with great effort, adjust or check the position of the shoes again. That's all. Below, as we promised, we will consider the features of the pads from the manufacturers "Lucas" and "Dumphy".

Lucas TRW (pads)

They are produced in Germany. During the tests, these pads received good results. Thus, the value of deceleration at braking from 100 kilometers per hour is 7.5 m / s2. With regard to heating, the temperature tests of these pads also withstood with dignity.

The heating of the friction material does not exceed two hundred degrees Celsius. During repeated braking, with an effort of 4 kg / cm2, the heating of the elements was 111 degrees. However, with an increase in the heating temperature, the braking efficiency dropped. This is their only drawback.

"Dummy"

This, perhaps, is the best rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110. Country of origin - Ukraine. During testing, the pads showed the best result. The deceleration rate at 100 kilometers per hour is 9 m / s2. Also, the friction lining well withstands temperature loads. With repeated braking, the drum was heated to 110 degrees Celsius.

At the same time, the work efficiency remained the same. Noticeable dips were felt at a temperature of two hundred degrees. However, in order to heat the shoe to such a state, it is necessary to try hard. Even with an aggressive driving style, they do not overheat and withstand all loads. By the way, despite the fact that this is a Ukrainian brand, it can be found in any automobile store in Russia. Also these pads are like the cars of the Lada Samara family.

Conclusion

So, we found out how to change the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110 car independently. Replacing the elements of the brake system is the thing that should not be neglected. If you notice a characteristic creak or your car does not respond well to the appropriate pedal, check the wear of the friction pads and replace them if necessary. Remember that your safety depends on the serviceability of the braking system.
