Old design of pads
Figure 9.1. Old design of front brake pads: 1 - spring; 2 - brake shoe
The old design brake pads are equipped with cylindrical springs 1 (figure 9.1).
New design of pads
Figure 9.2. New design of front brake pads: 1 - spring; 2 - brake pads
The shape of the new design pads has been changed to allow the installation of leaf springs 1 (figure 9.2). Leaf springs are supplied as spare parts in a set with front brake pads. New brake pads can be installed in old brake mechanisms.
Remove the front brake pads in the following order:
1) Apply the parking brake to the car;
2) Raise the front of the car and place it on supports;
3) remove the wheel;
4) remove the filter of the brake fluid supply reservoir;
5) pump out some of the brake fluid from the reservoir using a syringe;
6) put the filter back in place;

7) unscrew the lower bolt 1 (figure 9.3) guide pin mounts;
Figure 9.4. Turning the caliper: 1 - protective corrugated cap; 2 - support; 3 - piston; 4 - protective cuff
8) turn the caliper 2 (figure 9.4) around the top bolt;
9) remove the brake pads;
10) check visually:
- tightness around piston circumference 3;
- condition and correct fit of the protective cuff 4 and protective corrugated caps 1;
- brake disc wear;
- make sure the caliper guide pins move freely;
11) replace faulty parts.
Install the front brake pads in the following order:
- clean the brake mechanism parts and brake disc from dirt and dust;
