1. We install the car on a viewing ditch («Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Remove the front wheels («Wheel - replacement»).
3. When checking the pads of the left brake mechanism, we turn the steering wheel completely to the left, and when checking the pads of the right brake mechanism, to the right.
4. Through the inspection hole in the caliper movable bracket, we visually determine the thickness of the brake pad linings.
If the lining thickness of at least one pad is less than 1.5 mm, we change all brake pads of the brake mechanisms of the right and left wheels.
5. At the same time, we check the mobility of the pistons of the brake cylinders. At «souring» piston, replace the cylinder.
A flashlight is required to perform a wear check on the rear brake pads.
1. We prepare the car for work («Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the rubber plug of the inspection hole in the rear wheel brake support shield.
3. We illuminate the viewing hole with a flashlight.
If the thickness of the brake pad lining A is less than 1.5 mm, we change all the brake pads of the brake mechanisms of the right and left wheels.
