If the brake discs have been replaced, new brake pads must be installed at the same time.
Removal
Mark the position of the wheel disk relative to the hub. Thanks to this, the balanced wheel can be installed in its original place.
Loosen the wheel nuts on a vehicle parked on the ground.
Place the car on a lift.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake pads.
For rear disc brake only: Loosen the handbrake cable and remove the cable from the caliper.
If it is necessary to completely remove the caliper, then disconnect the brake hose from the caliper.
Caution: Brake fluid will leak out. Collect the fluid in a container intended only for brake fluids. After assembly, bleed the brake system.
If the brake hose does not come off, hang the upper part of the caliper on a wire to the body without stretching or twisting the hose.
Remove the two brake holder mounting bolts from the steering knuckle.
Remove the brake disc.
Installation
To ensure uniform braking on both sides, both brake discs must have surfaces of the same roughness at the same time. Therefore, both discs must be changed at the same time.
Measure the thickness of the brake disc.
Clean the brake discs from the preservation agent.
Install the brake disc onto the wheel hub and lightly tighten the mounting nuts to secure the brake disc.
Install the brake caliper and tighten the fasteners to 90 Nm. Tighten the rear caliper brackets to 45 Nm.
Caution: If the brake hose was disconnected, reconnect it. Do not twist the hose. Install the seals. Tighten the union nut to 30 Nm.
Install the brake pads.
If the system was opened, it needs to be pumped up.
Loosen the wheel mounting nuts.
Connect the handbrake rod to the rear caliper.
Install and secure the wheel with nuts, observing the markings.
Remove the vehicle from the lift and tighten the wheel nuts to 105 Nm.
Caution: Press the brake pedal vigorously several times until you feel strong resistance.
Check the fluid level in the tank and, if necessary, add fluid up to the "Max" mark.
Adjust the handbrake drive on the rear wheel brake.
