Automotive disc brakes are more effective than brakes that are otherwise equipped. However, they are more prone to wear and tear. If you wish, you can repair a damaged or worn disc yourself.
Necessary
- - keys set;
- - hexagon;
- - screwdrivers.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, check the presence of all parts in the brakes (covers, anthers, etc.). After that, flush all components of the brake system, including the discs.
Step 2
Disassemble the brake machine mount. To do this, do the following. Loosen the bolts that secure the wheel disc and brake disc. It is undesirable to unscrew them completely. Then pay attention to the adjusting bolt located on the brake machine. Often you need to use a hexagon. Then grab the platform and disconnect it from the rack by loosening the bolts that secure them. After loosening, unscrew the bolts completely and then disconnect the brake hose.
Step 3
Then remove the machine from the second rod, and then unscrew the rods of the brake pads. Then take out the tin clip and pads. After that, remove the piston, clean it and replace (if severely worn) the rubber cuffs that are in the cylinder. When you take out the cuffs, be careful not to damage them.
Step 4
Clean the piston again after replacement. Then apply a thin coat of sealant and place new cuffs on top of it. Then lubricate the structure with used brake fluid and insert the cylinder into its place with utmost care. When installing, make sure that all parts are level so that the brakes do not fail while the vehicle is moving.
