VAZ 2114: instructions for replacing pads

Required spare parts

Just 10 years ago, old pads were not replaced; they were glued on, linings were changed, or they were riveted. Today on the market you can easily purchase the entire mechanism. To replace, you need to prepare new pads. Experts believe that it is better to install replacement factory parts, article number 2110-3501080-60 (TIIR-260), 21100350180082 or 2110-3501080. There are other opinions. Some motorists believe that pads from well-known brands provide the best braking parameters on the VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112. These are parts from brands such as Brembo, ABS, Ferodo, TRW, Bosch, Optimal or Delphi.

Replacing the front brake pads of a VAZ-2114

The caliper holding the pads is screwed on with two bolts; in fact, it’s the same on almost all foreign cars, except for especially charged ones. The bolt is secured with a lock washer, which clamps the edges of the bolt. First you need to straighten this washer, and then unscrew the top bolt.

There is no need to unscrew the bottom bolt completely, just loosen it a couple of turns. We won't completely remove the caliper, we'll just move it away.

To move the caliper, you need to pull out the brake hose that will prevent this, you just need to pull it, and it will come out easily.

Next, we fold back the caliper and there they are, the pads are in front of us, we take them out one at a time. The pads are like new, were used for testing and showed almost no wear.

Before installing new pads on a VAZ 2114, you need to clean the guides along which the pads move from oxides and other adhering dirt. Use sandpaper or a metal brush. A similar tool can be found in every garage.

Now you can install new pads. The photo shows the winner of the tests - Ferodo pads.

Now, to close the caliper, we need to push the cylinder in a little. This is done with a special squeezer, you can use a clamp, and some craftsmen prefer a pry bar.

When the cylinder is pressed in, the caliper closes easily, you can screw everything back in and secure the brake hose.

And now about the results of the pad test

1st place - Ferodo Target - catalog number - TAR 527 21170

These pads showed the best results, the braking distance was the shortest, both during intensive braking and during normal use, the pads did not lose their performance properties.

Also, during a longer test, it was noticed that the pads are quite gentle on the brake disc, without causing much wear on it.

2nd place - ATE pads - catalog number - 311 FF KBA 60 793 0046

3rd place - TRW / Lucas pads - catalog number - LMS 116 90 R-01107/364 GDB 469.8.80.91

This is what the top three with high performance looks like. Next are the average quality pads

EZATI Lux – catalog number – 2108-3501090 T-266 “Lux”

Unexpectedly, quite good pads at an affordable price.

SCT-Germany - catalog number - SP 101 WVA 21170

Even though it says Germany, the quality suffers.

Well, in conclusion, a group of pads that are not particularly good in quality:

TIIR - 273 - catalog number - 2108-3501080

DAFMI - catalog number - F312 D 743

Trans Master - catalog number - DBB 22100 WV 21170 T-779

These pads squeaked and braked poorly, so there was no point in even looking at them.

Replacement of rear brake pads of VAZ-2114

The rear pads are changed a little more difficult than the front ones, a little less often, so no tests were carried out, but simply replaced for the company. To replace, you must first unscrew the drum.

Then this drum needs to be knocked off the hub; it is held in place by the blocks, which managed to make a groove in it. You need to take a heavier hammer and tap the drum through the spacer from the back side. It’s not a fact that something won’t break off from the drum.

When the drum comes off, it will be a little easier, because this was the most difficult stage in replacing the rear drum pads. Now all that remains is to remove all the springs

And pull out the pads. There is a plate installed between the pads; you don’t have to change it, the main thing is not to forget to put it in place later.

One of the blocks is driven by the handbrake cable; you need to pull it out of the cable groove.

It's a little more difficult to assemble, especially tensioning the springs. This is done with a regular screwdriver; the spring slides off the screwdriver and is inserted directly into the groove. For those who don't understand, watch the video

Procedure for replacing front brake pads on a VAZ 2114

To monitor the condition of the anterior TCs, it is necessary to carry out their periodic preventive examination. Approximately, the brakes should be checked after 15 thousand mileage. The wear of friction linings depends on the condition of the road surface, driving style, traffic congestion and the quality of the pads themselves. It must be kept in mind that vehicle operating experience shows that the front disc brake pads wear out faster. Rear, drum ones are more durable. However, you need to know the external signs that can help you identify problems with the brake pads.

Insufficient braking efficiency. The reasons for this may be:

1. complete wear of the TC linings;
2. oiling of friction linings;
3. brake overheating;
4. use of pads that do not comply with specifications.

• When braking, the car pulls to the side. One of the reasons for this behavior of the car is clogging or oiling of the friction linings.
• When you press the brake pedal, vibration occurs and a squeak is heard from the wheels. One of the possible reasons for this is some liquid or oil getting on the TC pads.

Before changing the front brake pads on a VAZ 2114, you need to make sure whether this element of the brake system is really to blame for the inappropriate behavior of the car. There are cases where external signs that were suitable in all respects had a completely different cause that was not related to TC. For example, strong or uneven wear of the brake disc, or the presence of cracks or chips on it.

Monitoring the condition of the anterior TCs can be carried out quite simply. The caliper has a special viewing window. Replacing the front brake pads on a VAZ 2114 is carried out when the PTK friction linings are produced to one and a half millimeters or less. Similar monitoring can be carried out during seasonal replacement of car tires, for example.

If replacing the pads on a VAZ 2114 is inevitable, then you should pre-select high-quality front brake pads suitable for the vehicle, recommended by experts. On forums on the Internet, based on test results, the front brake pads received the highest number of points - Fenox, Best and Allian Nippon. The following are given as arguments in favor of these TCs:

• the friction material of the linings retains its properties when heated to temperatures above 400 degrees;
• due to the use of high-quality mineral fibers, the structure of the linings is more technologically advanced and they are lighter in weight;
• in the production of TC, a special anti-noise plate is used, it eliminates creaking when triggered;
• a special technological wiper groove and a lining wear sensor were manufactured.

When the driver decides for himself which pads to put on the VAZ 2114, then when choosing them he must look at the quality of manufacture of the part itself and its packaging, the presence of all the necessary seals and inscriptions, according to the specifications. This spare part is at probable risk of acquiring counterfeit goods, since they are most actively counterfeited in underground production.

Replacing the front pads on a VAZ 2114 is carried out in the following order:

• Prepare for work a wheel wrench, a jack, a flat-head screwdriver, wrenches “13” and “17”, a support stand, WD fluid, previously purchased by TK.
• Place the car on a level surface, place a block or brick under the rear wheels and secure the handbrake.
• Loosen the wheel rim bolts, jack up the car and install a support stand to prevent the car from falling if the jack fails. After this, remove the wheel.
• Thoroughly clean the brake mechanism from dirt. If there are traces of oiling, then everything must be washed with warm water and detergent. After this, give time for all surfaces to dry.

Do not wash with gasoline or chemical caustic solutions, because you will have to change all the rubber seals and gaskets.

Replacing front brake pads on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! Front brake pads are one of the most important elements of the braking system, because if there are no pads, then the front wheels will not brake at all, so if the pads on your car have become unusable over time, in other words, worn out, then these pads it is necessary to change it and quickly with new ones, because you never know, and you don’t need to play with the brakes either.

Note! To replace the front brake pads, you will need to stock up on: A wheel wrench to remove the wheel on which you are going to replace the pad, as well as a jack to lift the car, and also take with you a basic set of wrenches, a screwdriver, as well as If possible, stock up on some kind of lubricant like WD-40, or even that!

Summary:

What causes brake pads to wear out? Their wear can only occur due to several reasons, namely due to sudden braking, as well as due to constant braking, and their wear can also occur very, very quickly due to any metal object getting into them. for example, due to a nail getting into them, which at the first braking will most likely go into the inner part of the block and during further braking will make itself felt by making a grinding noise.

Note! Under no circumstances should you ever drive a car with your foot on the brake pedal or, indeed, on other pedals, this is due to the fact that there are a lot of people in the world who have the habit of constantly keeping their foot mainly on the clutch pedal, and there are also those who keep your foot is constantly on the brake pedal, this is strictly forbidden, because the parts that relate to the clutch system and the braking system very quickly become unusable and thus have to be constantly replaced!

Where are the front brake pads located? These pads are located in the front part of the car, by the way, this can also be understood by reading the question, but few people know their more precise location, so for those people who don’t know yet, these pads are located in the inner part of the wheel, and they are clamped there into the caliper, in In general, for a more detailed location, see the photo:

Note! In this image above there is an arrow, and this arrow points to the same caliper, inside of which there are two brake pads that have to be changed from time to time!

When do you need to change front brake pads? They need to be changed only when, when braking, the front wheels begin to make a noise that will be similar to metal touching each other, and this noise will also resemble some kind of grinding of the same metal among themselves.

Some people say exact numbers for which pads need to be replaced, for example, many say that after 15,000 thousand mileage the pads need to be changed urgently, but the point is that there are no exact numbers for replacing pads and never have been, because as has already happened It was said a little earlier that the pads wear out only from the intensity of driving and we are not talking about any numbers here and will not talk about them.

Note! By the way, it is very easy to check the pads for wear, to do this, first remove the wheel from the car and then look at the window (Indicated by the arrow) which is present in the brake caliper, and through this window you should be able to see the brake pads, which can be visually very easily identified wear!

Original spare parts: article number and price

The VAZ 2115 is similar in design to the traditional “nine”, which is why some working units were installed similarly to the predecessor model. This also applies to the brake system of the car, so it makes sense to purchase original brakes. The demand for front brake pads for cars remains high, since they are the ones that are best suited for maintaining, repairing and operating the car.

When purchasing original pads, it is recommended to pay attention to their article number. As a standard, it starts with the car model, followed by a series

Since the VAZ 2115 car was partially assembled on the basis of the “eight” or “nine”, the brake pads of the original type will have the following part numbers:

• 2108-3501090M;
• 21080350180082;
• 2108-3501080.

The cost per part will vary depending on the chosen place of sale, but the average range starts from 480 rubles for 4 pieces per package.

Replacement of front brake pads VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Sooner or later, all owners of VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 will have to deal with such repairs as replacing the front brake pads. The reasons for the failure of the pads may be the exhaustion of their service life, a metal object getting into the unit, an aggressive driving style, sudden and strong braking. The average service life of the pads is only 15 thousand kilometers. There is no point in delaying replacement; with a faulty brake system, the car becomes the target of a potential threat on the road.

The repair is not very complicated and is quite accessible to do it yourself. We will tell you how to repair the front pads with your own hands, but before starting work, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the diagram of this unit in more detail.

The algorithm for replacing brake pads on a VAZ 2115 is as follows:

1. Place the car on a flat surface, secure the wheels with wheel chocks, and tighten the handbrake. Before disassembling, you need to treat all connections with WD-40.
2. Remove the wheel bolts before jacking up the car. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to do this, and there will be a possibility of the car falling during sudden jerks.
3. Jack up the side from which the pads will be replaced. Install a stop that will protect you in case of sudden failure of the jack.
4. Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the wheel.
5. Clean the brake mechanism with water and detergent and dry it.

Replacing brake pads on a VAZ 2115 - step-by-step instructions

1. Place the car on a flat surface, then install wheel chocks under the rear wheels and tighten the handbrake. Before starting disassembly, I recommend treating all threaded connections to be disassembled with WD-40 penetrating fluid, this will make your work easier.

2. We tear off the wheel mounting bolts while the car is not jacked up; when you lift it with a jack, it will be more difficult to tear it off, and besides, there is a possibility of the car falling off the jack during sudden jerks.

3. Next, jack up the side (left or right, whichever is more convenient for you) from which you are going to replace the pads. Install a stop or block that will protect you from sudden failure of the jack or other unforeseen situations.

4. Now completely unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the wheel.

5. Take the brake mechanism and wash it with water and detergent, then let it dry.

Attention! Under no circumstances use gasoline, diesel fuel or solvents for washing, otherwise, in addition to the pads, you will also have to change all the rubber seals and anthers. I also recommend checking the wear of the brake pads before replacing them ; to do this, use a caliper that can be installed in the hole in the brake caliper. If the thickness of the friction linings (and not the pads themselves, this is important!) is less than 1.5 mm, it is necessary to change the brake pads.

6. Let's move on. We release the brake hose from the bracket, which is attached to the shock absorber strut.

7. Using a flathead screwdriver, pry the pads away from the brake rotor.

8. On the lower bolt, bend the locking plate of the caliper guide pin, then unscrew this bolt, holding the pin from turning by its hexagonal part.

9. Lift the brake caliper up and lock it in this position.

10. Take out the old pads. Before replacing the brake pads of the VAZ 2115, it will not be superfluous to measure the thickness of the brake disc at four opposite points using a caliper. The minimum acceptable thickness is: 10.8 mm. If necessary, replace the brake disc.

11. Clean all mechanisms and parts of the brake mechanism, paying special attention to the seats of the brake pads. Difficult movement or accumulation of dirt can cause misalignment and subsequent jamming of the pads, as well as uneven wear. Make sure that the removed guide pin is in good condition; if necessary, replace it with a new one. If you change the pin, do not forget to lubricate its surface with graphite lubricant before installation.

12. In some situations, it is necessary to press the piston inside the caliper, because when the pads are worn too much, it comes out strongly, which makes it impossible to install new brake pads. When pressing in the piston, be careful not to damage the boot and piston seals. In addition, check the brake fluid level; if it is high, then when the piston is pressed in, fluid may leak out of the expansion tank of the GTZ. This issue is solved with the help of a syringe, unscrew the cap and pull out a couple of cubes of “brake fluid” with the syringe, and add it back with a squirt.

13. Prepare a new set of brake pads and begin installing them. When installing the pads, pay attention to the location of the pressure springs; the correct position is when they are parallel to the top edge of the pads.

14. Return the brake caliper bracket to its place.

15. Install the guide pin bolt and then tighten it. It is advisable, of course, to use a torque wrench for this; the tightening itself is carried out with a torque of 30–40 Nm.

16. Using a screwdriver, bend the locking plate, thereby securing the bolt from possible spontaneous unwinding.

17. Reinstall the wheel and tighten the mounting bolts.

Now we can say that everything is ready! Now all the above operations must be performed in relation to the other side of the car. Before driving, depress the brake pedal several times to return the brake pistons to their operating position. Don't forget to also add brake fluid.

That's all. We check the work in practice, see how the brakes work with new pads. I will say right away that at first the brakes may squeak, this is normal, this is how the pads grind into the brake disc, after a week, or maybe even earlier, the extraneous sounds will disappear.

Substitutes for originals: list of analogues

Among the analogues in the vastness of the country, there are several foreign options from the company Ferodo, Akyoto and other brands that have already proven themselves to be the best. A list of articles and approximate prices will help you navigate the choice of parts:

• ARTEX – from 500 rubles per set.

• MASTER SPORT 2108-3502090 – from 480 rubles.
• QAP 03-622 – from 350 rubles.
• Zollex Z2108B – from 580 rubles.

Foreign brands offer higher quality products than their Chinese counterparts. Before choosing, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the compatibility of the brake pads to avoid any troubles in the future.

Replacing front pads on a VAZ 2114

The braking system of a car is designed to reduce the speed of the car while driving and hold it in place while stopping. An effective braking system helps the driver when maneuvering in urban conditions and on the highway, as well as when overcoming descents and ascents on roads with difficult terrain.

Since the mid-20s of the last century, hydraulically driven drum brakes have been used in cars, and since the early sixties, more efficient disc brakes have been actively introduced.

How to independently replace the front and rear pads on a VAZ 2115

Not every motorist wants to go looking for a trusted service station in order to entrust the mechanics with changing the brake pads. Therefore, car enthusiasts can perform this procedure on their own. To do this you will need to acquire the following tools:

• balloon;
• jack;
• flat screwdriver;
• wrenches 13 and 17;
• If desired, you can use WD-40.

Having prepared all the tools and driven them into the car in the proper place for maintenance, you can begin replacement. The procedure consists of the following steps:

• Remove the bolts from the right and left wheels.
• Raise the car with a jack and put “insurance” under it - you can use the same wheel as it.
• Release the brake hose by bending the locking plate on the upper bolt.
• Unscrew the bolt and bend the caliper down.
• Remove the block closest to the piston.
• Install the caliper into the hole where the pad was.
• Press in the piston, install a new pad and install the wheel back.
• Change the pad on the other side of the car.

The rear pads are changed a little differently: to do this, you need to remove the brake drum from the car and disconnect the tension springs with a screwdriver. Next, you need to remove the guide spring using pliers to remove the front part of the part. Then you need to remove the expansion bar and pull out the second part of the block.

If difficulties arise during the process of changing parts, it is recommended to watch a video that describes in detail how to replace the pads on a VAZ 2115 car. This must be done in a timely manner so as not to endanger your life and the lives of passengers.

How to replace front brake pads on a VAZ 2115 at home

It’s probably not worth talking about how important serviceable brakes are for a car; this is already clear to everyone. Another thing is replacing brake pads, which you will have to do whether you like it or not, and as practice shows, not every motorist knows about it. There are two options here, either with your own hands or at a service station. The first option for VAZ owners is usually more suitable, unless of course your arms grow out of your shoulders and you are not a glamorous blonde
