Replacing the rear brake pads VAZ 2114 own hands

Most VAZ vehicles use the classic brakes. On the front are discs, behind - drums. They are powered by hydraulic pressure. By the same principle, the brakes are arranged on the 14th Lada. As you know, pads are consumables. And if with the replacement of the front you can manage for 10-15 minutes, then with the "drums" will have to suffer. So, let's look at how the rear brake pads are replaced with VAZ-2114. See the photo and description of this process in our today's article.

Symptoms of malfunction, resource

With the front blocks everything is simple - you can determine their wear and tear visually by removing the stamped disc. And if the car is "cast", then at all without dismantling the wheel. With drum overlays, everything is much more difficult. They are hidden under the lid. Not every car owner will shoot it in the hope of detecting an early deterioration. As for the resource, no one gives concrete figures. Everything depends entirely on the manner of driving. But in any case, the rear pads serve longer than the front. The resource of these elements is usually from 100 to 170 thousand kilometers. There are only two characteristic features. The first one is a weak handbrake. Many will think that the cable is stretched (after all the run is no longer small) and, pulling it, will further exploit the car. But not always the cause of the malfunction is the cable. If the thickness of the shoes is minimal, the parking brake lever travel will increase, as more force is required to compress them.

Another sign is the responsiveness of the car to the brake pedal. So, with the wear of the rear pads, the machine will slow down the speed. And if the lining worn down to the metal base, then the problem will be accompanied by the creaking and overheating of the drum. The latter factor can lead to jamming of the brakes, which is extremely dangerous.

The manufacturer notes that the minimum thickness of the pads on the rear drums should be 1.5 millimeters.

Price

It is worth noting that the design of the brakes on the 14th "Lada" is identical to the "eight" and "nine". Therefore, the pads from VAZ-2108-099 will be on the 14th "as a native". As for the cost, a set of four overlays can be bought for 615 rubles. And this is the original pads, from AvtoVAZ.

Instruments

To replace the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2114 passed quickly and successfully, we need a set of keys, a hammer with a handle, a slotted screwdriver, a jack, a balonnik and pliers. As the elements of the system can turn sour or rust, we use a "liquid key" like VD-40 or its analogues. So, how is the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2114 replaced? Detailed instructions will be given below.

Getting Started

To perform this operation, we do not necessarily have a pit or a lift. Sufficiently even and hard coating. So, loosen the wheel bolts on one of the wheels and jack the back of the car. Pre-put under the front tire stops, or put the machine on the first gear (that the machine does not spontaneously roll). Next, remove the wheel and dismantle the muffler from the pillows. We leave the most extreme that is under the bumper, so that the exhaust does not hang in the air.

Why do we need a silencer? Next to it are the nuts of the handbrake tensioner, which must be loosened. This is done to ensure that the installation does not experience additional difficulties. Nuts weaken to the maximum. For this we need the key "for 13". How is the replacement of the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2114? Then we pass to the drum itself. Unscrew the guide bolts on it and scroll the cover 30-40 degrees. So we can get it out.

But sometimes the drum can turn sour. To do this, take a shank (or a short wooden bar), a hammer and begin to apply small strokes on the lid. We apply them from different planes, until the element starts scrolling. The bar will be a kind of damper, as the hammer can easily damage the element.

What next?

Now safely remove the lid outside. You will see a brake cylinder, springs and two erased pads in front of you. To remove the last, you must first disconnect the guide springs. This is done with the help of pliers. You can make homemade hooks from solid wire. Next, remove the lining with the lever. The latter is not thrown away - it is still useful for us when installing new shoes. But this does not stop the replacement of the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2114. The installation instructions will be described later.

Installation

After dismantling the old elements, we compress the side parts of the brake cylinder with a slotted screwdriver. Be careful - make sure that the new pads fit exactly into the grooves of the cylinder, and the strap hit the connector. After that, you need to hook the springs into place. This operation is performed with both lower and upper overlays. How is the rear brake pads replaced with their own hands? VAZ-2114 continues to stand still, and we are at this time engaged in a hand. The drive cable of the parking brake must be hooked on the lever that is on the shoe. Then, once again check the correctness of the installation of the elements and mount the drum cover. Pay attention - it can be difficult to enter. In this case, you need to check whether the brake cylinder is fully clamped and whether the handle is loose. Probably, the cable is jammed and because of this the lid does not come into place. Having eliminated the problem, put the drum and wheel in place. Before you lower the car from the jack, check how easy it rotates. The wheel should spin without seizing and mashing the pads. Next, the rear brake pads are replaced on the VAZ-2114 on the opposite side. Remember that the elements change in pairs, even if the wear on the adjacent wheel is less significant. The procedure is the same. But that's not all. The final step will be the adjustment of the handbrake.

Setting the parking brake on VAZ-2114 - step-by-step instruction

Replacing the rear brake pads requires the mandatory adjustment of the handbrake. For this we need two keys "for 13". Adjustment is made on the cable equalizer, which is hidden under the "jar" of the muffler. So, unscrew the locknut with one key, and the other - fix the bolt from turning. Further we twist a nut in this or that party (depending on that it is necessary for us - to tighten or weaken a cable). At navorachivanii the course of a handbrake and accordingly a rope decreases.

What should be the norm? When setting, follow the parking brake lever. Pads should be blocked after 3-4 clicks. A maximum of 6 clicks is allowed. All that is more - indicates an increased leverage. In this case, the machine must be kept on a slope of 16 degrees. Also watch for the rotation of the wheels. They must move freely from the force of their hands in a suspended state. If they rub against the new pads, then the handbrake is tightened too much. After setting the optimal range, tighten the lock nut and lower the car from the jack. This completes the procedure for replacing the shoes. No pumping and other actions to take is not necessary. All that is required of you after the replacement is just a re-adjustment of the handbrake.

Conclusion

So, we found out how the replacement of the rear brake pads on the VAZ-2114 is made. By the time this procedure takes about two hours. When installing the drum, some sand the pads with sandpaper to make the lid easier to go. But it is absolutely impossible to do this. This reduces the life of the linings and causes them to skew.
