Replacement of brake pads
1. Set the car to the parking brake.
2. Install support bars under the rear wheels.
3. Loosen the front wheel bolts.
4. Raise and support the front of the vehicle.
5. Remove the wheel, finally unscrewing the mounting bolts.
6. Rinse the brake mechanism with warm water and dry. The use of gasoline, diesel fuel or any other mineral solvents for cleaning brakes is unacceptable.
7. Check the wear of the brake pads through the hole in the caliper housing. If the thickness of the friction linings of the pads on at least one side is less than 2 mm, then the pad sets must be replaced on both front wheels.
8. Disconnect the wiring harness from the brake pad wear sensor.
9. Remove the dirt caps from both guide pins.
10. Unscrew both guide pins.
11. Remove the caliper body and hang it on the wire to the body, making sure that the brake hose is not twisted and does not experience excessive stress.
12. Mark the brake pads if the old pads are to be re-installed, since it is unacceptable to replace the inner and outer pads with each other, as well as between the left and right wheels. This can lead to uneven braking. Remove brake pads.
13. Remove dirt and rust from the brake parts, especially the seats of the brake pads. The use of gasoline, diesel fuel or any other mineral solvents for cleaning brakes is unacceptable.
14. If new brake pads are installed, the piston must be carefully pressed into the cylinder. At the same time, make sure that the piston does not warp.
15. Install the brake pads on the caliper base, making sure that the pressure springs are parallel to the top edge of the brake pads. Old pads must be installed in accordance with the previously made markings.
16. Install the bracket body.
17. Tighten the guide pins to a torque of 25 Nm (2.5 kgf·m) and install the dirt caps on them.
18. Connect the pad with wires to the pad wear sensor.
19. Install the front wheel and install the mounting bolts.
20. Lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the wheel bolts evenly diagonally to 110 Nm (11.0 kgf·m).
21. Press the brake pedal several times to set the piston to the working position.
22. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
