Setting
Do not press the brake pedal with the brake pads removed. When replacing the brake pads do not loosen brake line. Clean dust and dirt from the caliper, a rust from edge of a brake disk. If the pads are suitable for further use, clean them with a wire brush and cloth. Check the disk rotor for cracks, especially around the holes for the bolts fastening the wheel, as well as for wear or mechanical damage. Measure the thickness of the brake disc. If you need to replace at least one of the discs replace both drives. If you install new brake pads, using a special device, press the piston in the caliper. Push the piston in the caliper can and a wooden core or the hammer handle. At the same time, make sure that the piston has not warped also surfaces of the piston and the boot are not damaged. When retracted, the piston brake liquid is superseded from the brake cylinder in a broad tank, so constantly observe of liquid level in the tank and, if necessary pump out from a tank its surplus. Install the inner pad to the caliper, with the spring bracket must enter into the recess of the piston. On the inside of the brake shoe with a spring applied arrow. It must coincide with the direction of rotation of the disk when moving forward. Otherwise, the brake shoes will emit background noise. External brake pads are attached sticky layer on the holder of a support.

Remove the backing from the adhesive layer of the outer brake pad and place it on a support bracket (Fig. 15.7). Establish a support with internal block on the holder support. Replace the caliper guide pins and tighten them to 25 Nm. Install protective caps on directing fingers of a support. Install the retaining spring on the caliper by placing the ends of the spring in the holes of the caliper. Similarly, replace the brake pads on the second front wheel. Establish wheels and lower the car to the ground. After cleaning the ribbed head wheel bolts, tighten the bolts to 120 Nm. Repeatedly press the brake pedal to the brake pads have taken position. Check brake fluid level in the reservoir and, if necessary, finish it to norm. After installing new brake pads, avoid sharp braking the first 200 kilometers of the car.
