Removal and installation of a brake disk

For achievement of uniform bilateral braking brake disks should have identical frictional surfaces concerning their appearance and a roughness. Therefore it is necessary to replace or pierce both brake disks of one axis.

If brake disks are necessary for replacing or piercing, it is at the same time necessary to establish new brake shoes.


Removal

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Mark with paint the provision of wheels concerning naves. It will allow to establish at assembly otbalansirovanny wheels in their former situation. Weaken bolts of fastening of a wheel before a car poddomkrachivaniye. Lift the car, put it on supports and remove wheels.

Operation of lifting and car installation on supports is connected with danger! Therefore before carrying out operation familiarize with Poddomkrachivaniye's Section and Introduction towage to the management.

2. Remove brake shoes, address to appropriate section.
3. Remove a support, address to appropriate section.

It is not necessary to remove a brake hose.

4. Suspend a support so that the brake hose was not braided and was not exposed to stretching.
5. For an exception of a vyskalzyvaniye of the brake piston clamp wooden whetstone between the piston and a support.

6. Brake of a back wheel: Completely release the parking brake. Unscrew back the adjusting device of a parking drum-type brake. For this purpose enter a screw-driver through a carving opening for bolts of fastening of a wheel. Right wheel: Turn a screw-driver an adjusting gear wheel (1) from below up. Left wheel: Turn a screw-driver an adjusting gear wheel (1) from top to down.

7. Turn out the lock screw (1) and remove a brake disk (2) from a nave.

Strongly sitting brake disk remove from a nave in easy blows of a plastic hammer or by means of a stripper.


Installation

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. In the presence of a rust on a flange of a brake disk and a nave of a forward wheel remove them.
2. New brake disks: Remove a disk sheeting by means of a rag and a thinner.
3. Brake of a back wheel: If the disk which was in work is established, wipe a surface of a brake shoe of the parking brake and visually check it. Check ease of a course of the razzhimny lock of brake shoes of the parking brake.
4. Establish a brake disk on a nave and fix a new being self-stopped bolt. Tighten the lock screw the moment 10Нм.
5. Brake of a back wheel: Adjust the brake mechanism. For this purpose enter a screw-driver through a carving opening of bolts of fastening of a wheel. Right wheel: Turn a screw-driver an adjusting gear wheel (1) from top to down. Left wheel: Turn a screw-driver an adjusting gear wheel from below up. Rotate an adjusting gear wheel until brake shoes will not lie down to a disk and the back wheel will not stop to rotate. After that an adjusting gear wheel slowly turn back so that the wheel could rotate freely. Watch that the gear wheel on right and on the left side of a wheel was unscrewed back on identical number of teeths.
6. Establish into place a support, address to appropriate section.
7. Establish a brake shoe, address to appropriate section.
8. Establish to the place of a wheel so that the marks put at removal coincided. Previously grease with a thin layer of bearing greasing aligning belt of a disk of a wheel on a nave. Bolts of fastening of wheels do not grease. Rusty bolts replace. Wrap bolts. Lower the car on wheels and tighten bolts cross-wise the moment 110Нм.

Check, that the brake hose of a forward brake did not concern a wheel at the maximum angle of rotation of a steering wheel.

Several times, strongly press a brake pedal until notable resistance will be felt. Thus brake shoes adjoin to a disk and occupy the working situation.

9. Brake of a back wheel: Several times tighten the parking brake and check its adjustment. If it is necessary, adjust a brake, address to the Section of Check of brake system. Adjustment of the parking brake.
10. New brake shoes carefully earn extra. For this purpose several times brake the car from speed of 80 km/h to speed of 40 km/h, slightly pressing a brake pedal. Between braking let's to a brake be cooled. The first 200 km of movement do not apply needlessly strong braking of the car.

After installation of their new brake shoes it is necessary to earn extra. Thus watch surely a road situation. During movement on the route avoid the first 200 km of unnecessary braking.

Carry out reliability control:

· Whether brake hoses are fixed?
· Whether the brake hose in the holder is fixed?
· Whether unions for air removal are tightened?
· Whether enough of brake liquid is filled in?
· On the working engine check tightness. For this purpose press a brake pedal effort of 200-300 N (20-30 kg) during 10 pages. The pedal should not weaken. Check all accessions on tightness.
