The VAZ-2110 car can rightly be considered popular. Everyone is familiar with this car, or at least saw it on the streets of the city. "Ten" - very unpretentious in service and maintainable car. However, sometimes malfunctions happen to him. So, the rear brake pads fail (or rather wear out) on the VAZ-2110 car . Their replacement is carried out independently. Even a novice can handle this. The machine has a fairly simple braking system. So, let's look at how to change the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110.
When to change?
The manufacturer has laid a certain resource. Replacement of these elements is done every 60 thousand kilometers. However, this period may come earlier. Why is this happening? It all depends on the riding style. If the driver prefers aggressive driving, the resource of the rear pads will be reduced by half. And the front - 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 the characteristic creaking of the pads on the back. This suggests that they have become unusable.
Inspect them visually by removing the drum. It is not permissible that the thickness of the friction lining be less than two millimeters. Also, the presence of oil drips and chips on the block itself is not allowed. If the symptoms and signs are confirmed, it is urgent to change the rear brake pads on a VAZ-2110 car. Replacement is made with a minimum set of tools. We will talk about what is needed for this operation right now.
Instruments
What do we need to replace? To successfully install the pads, prepare the following set of tools:
- The key is 12.
- Jack.
- Pliers.
- A small stand (you can use a bar).
- Screwdriver.
- Hammer.
We also need the consumable itself. What rear brake pads are better to put on the VAZ-2110? Motorists speak well of the products of the company "Lucas" and "Dumphy" (more about them at the end of the article). Their cost is about a thousand rubles per set (includes two friction pads). Before replacing the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2110 yourself, we note an important point - these elements change in pairs. If there is a difference in the wear of 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 a VAZ-2110 car. Replacement begins with hanging the rear axle. That is, we need to jack up a 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, remove the drum itself. It is secured with two bolts. To remove, we need a key at 12. If the lid comes out with difficulty (which happens quite often), knock it out with a hammer. Use a wooden backing so as not to damage the edges of the drum mechanism. Next, go on to replace the pads themselves. Please note that difficulties may arise here. Over the years of operation, they are very attached to the drum. The occurrence of rust is not excluded. If the block comes out with difficulty, we use improvised tools. Carefully knock out the part with a hammer so as not to damage the base itself. Next, you need to remove the upper spring, which fixes the block on the shield. To do this, unscrew the block to the side by 60 degrees.
Next, carefully remove the part from the support. Grasp the block on the side where there is no "sorcerer" (that is, the output to the hand brake). Bred pads from each other. After dismantling the first, we proceed to the removal of the second part. It will be removed much easier. First, do not forget to disconnect the parking brake rod from the cable.
How to install rear brake pads?
VAZ-2110 continues to be on the jack. At this time, we bend the piston of the cylinder inward as far as it will go and attach the hand brake rod to the new block. After that, we install the cotter pins and the guide spring back. We connect the cable back to the handbrake. We connect the upper spring with both pads. Next, install the latter to the brake cylinder. The shoe is slightly tightened from below. So you pull the spring to fit it into the spacer bar. We put the second block in place. Make sure that it fits exactly in place of the mounting strip. Using pliers, compress the second spring with the element. Please note - the parking brake cable must not touch the drum elements that rotate. Otherwise, it may interrupt.
We assemble the drum cover and put the wheel in place. At this stage, we have successfully installed the rear brake pads. VAZ-2110 can be lowered from the jack and test the effectiveness of the new brakes. An important point is that the wheel should be free to rotate when hanging. If it comes with great effort, adjust or check the position of the blocks 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 made in Germany. During testing, these pads received good performance. So, the value of decelerations during braking from 100 kilometers per hour is 7.5 m / s2. As for heating, these pads also withstood the temperature tests 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 increasing heating temperature, the braking efficiency decreased. This is their only drawback.
Dumphy
This is perhaps 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 pad can withstand temperature loads. With repeated braking, the drum was heated to 110 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, the efficiency remained the same. Noticeable dips were felt at a temperature of two hundred degrees. However, to heat the block to this state, you need 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 cars of the Lada Samara family.
Conclusion
So, we found out how to independently change the rear brake pads on a VAZ-2110 car. Replacing brake system components is a thing that should not be neglected. If you notice a characteristic creak or your car starts to respond poorly to the appropriate pedal, check the wear of the friction linings and replace them if necessary. Remember that the safety of the brake system depends on your safety.
