Replacement колодок disk brake mechanisms of forward wheels

Remember that brake Pads are subject to replacement only in the complete set and simultaneously on both wheels! Replacement колодок only conducts one of brake mechanisms to infringement of uniformity of seizing effort and loss of course stability of the car during braking. Do not forget that the dust developed in the course of deterioration of a frictional material колодок, can contain unhealthy asbestos! At all do not blow off a brake dust and do not inhale it. At service of brake mechanisms it is necessary to put on a protective mask or a respirator. Do not use for washing off of a brake dust solvents on an oil basis! Wipe components of brake mechanisms only methyl spirit or a special cleaner.


The scheme of connection of the gauge of deterioration колодок and a cable of a drive of a lay brake

1 — the deterioration Gauge колодок
2 — tip Fastening drive a cable of a lay brake to the executive lever
3 — Fastening of a cover of a cable on a support

2 — the Fixing finger


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Prop up противооткатными boots back wheels, then поддомкратьте redock of the car and establish it on props. Remove forward wheels.
2. Disconnect electroconducting from deterioration gauges колодок (the Scheme of connection of the gauge of deterioration колодок and a cable of a drive of a lay brake see an illustration).

3. Disconnect a tip drive a cable from the executive lever of a lay brake on assemblage of the brake mechanism and liberate a cover of a cable from a support ledge (the Scheme of connection of the gauge of deterioration колодок and a cable of a drive of a lay brake see also an illustration). Take the disconnected cable aside.

4. By means of flat-nose pliers remove a small spring clip of fixing of a fixing finger, then take a finger from a support (see also an illustration of the Detail of installation of a finger of fastening of a support). In case of need take advantage for выбивания a finger approaching выколоткой.



5. Liberate electroconducting of the gauge of deterioration колодок from a clamp on the bottom party of a support.

6. Lift a support upwards. Track, that the flexible brake hose has not appeared will pull.

7. Take Pads from анкерной скобы the brake mechanism. Try to remember, how the ledge internal Pads in a piston groove settles down.

8. Measure a residual thickness of both frictional overlays колодок. If though one of колодок is worn out over an admissible limit (Specifications see), it is necessary to make replacement of all колодок in both forward brake mechanisms. Колодки are subject to replacement also in case of detection of signs замасливания or non-uniform deterioration of overlays. It is preliminary necessary to reveal a source of leak and to eliminate the reason of its occurrence. Prepare new brake Pads and the complete set of fixing fingers.

9. If Pads are recognised by suitable for the further use, smooth out their wire brush, special attention giving to cleanliness of face walls and backs of metal substrates. Clean flutes in surfaces of frictional overlays, having removed from them a dirt and got stuck extraneous particles. Accurately clean pockets under installation колодок in анкерной скобе the brake mechanism.

10. Before installation new колодок check up freedom of moving of a directing finger, also estimate a condition of its protective cover. A brush remove from surfaces of the brake mechanism a brake dust (do not inhale it!). Check up a condition protective dusterа the piston. The piston examine on presence of signs of development of leaks and corrosion. In case of revealing of any sort of suspicious defects address to materials has undressed Removal, major repairs and installation of supports of disk brake mechanisms of forward wheels.

11. New Pads have the big thickness, than removed from the car old in view of what for space clearing under from installation it is necessary to drown the piston in the cylinder. For заглубления its piston it is necessary to turn clockwise. For performance of the given problem special firm adaptation Citroyon № 9011 is issued, however will approach and simply piece of a metal core of suitable diameter. Drown the piston in the cylinder against the stop.



Level the piston so that one of its grooves has appeared opposite to a directing finger of a support. The label () over a groove (b) should settle down thus in parallel an axis of the gate of prorolling.

12. Establish brake Pads on the regular places (frictional overlays to a disk). Track, that the directing ledge internal Pads has entered into a reciprocal groove in a face surface of the piston.

13. Lower a support in regular position.
14. Fix electroconducting of the gauge of deterioration колодок in a clip from the bottom party of a support, then connect an electric socket to the gauge.
15. Fill in a support a fixing finger so that the aperture under installation of a spring clamp has appeared with turned towards internal Pads the mechanism parties. Establish a clamp.
16. Get on the regular place on a support приводной a cable of a lay brake, connect its tip to the executive lever. Check up correctness of adjustment of a drive (the Lay brake - the general data and adjustments see).
17. Repeat procedure for the brake mechanism of an opposite wheel.
18. Make sure of reliability of fixing of the car in the lifted position, then start the engine and leave its working on single turns. Make sure that the lever a lay brake is released, then some times squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake for the purpose of activation of the mechanism of automatic updating of deterioration колодок in supports. Release a pedal and make sure of reliability of fixing of wheels at raising of the lever of a lay brake on 6-12 ratchet clicks. Muffle the engine. In case of need make adjustment drivers cables of a lay brake (the Lay brake - the general data and adjustments see).
19. Once again make sure of serviceability of functioning of brake mechanisms and a drive of a lay brake, then establish to the place of a wheel, lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel bolts with demanded effort.
20. Check up level of a hydraulic liquid (address to the Head Routine maintenance).
21. Remember that full efficiency of braking is reached only after extra earnings new brake колодок. Try to avoid throughout the first 100—150 km of run of sharp braking.
