If a twelve-year Toyota Avensis was time to change the brake pads do not necessarily ask for help in an expensive car wash. This work is well under the force of any person who is familiar with the technique. Among owners of older vehicles many people like. They have a garage and a tool suitable necessary and sufficient literature on your car is. If you have recently noted the presence of vibrations at the wheels during braking, while dismantling the brakes sure to pay attention to the condition of brake discs for your car. The thickness of the body of the brake discs should not be less than twenty-two millimeters. Begin work on replacing brake pads and maybe drive by removing the wheel. It is worth recalling that the car, thus, should be completely secure yourself from falling trestle. If you started with the left wheel, be sure to turn the steering wheel to the left. This will facilitate your access to the bolts - the guides, located in closed cylindrical tubes elastics. These guides prevent gum brake pads from dirt and corrosion. Remove gum and get access to the two bolts that need to unscrew using a six-or eight-sided key. Only by removing the two screws you can remove the caliper. We have access to brake pads. One of the shoe is on the bracket, and we can easily take out. On the back side of the second block is a spring clip, which strip is attached to the brake cylinder piston. Do not fear anything, pull on the shoe itself and take out of the piston. Now the shoe dropped. So do the brake pads with the second wheel. Inspect and measure the brake discs of both wheels. If there are signs of uneven wear or measurement showed that the body of the disc below the permissible standards, remove wheels to repair or replacement. To remove the drive, remove the caliper hang so as to prevent excessive tension of the brake hose. You can tie him to a spring with a soft wire. Now you need to unscrew the two bolts that hold the bracket. They, like the guides pads, tightened with rear side. Remove the bracket and shoot disks. Sometimes they take a strong liking to the hub and take them seriously. Then use two suitable bolt that screwed into the drive, and so we shift it to the hub. If the disc is damaged beyond repair, change it to the next. But if the minimum thickness is far, it is possible, using the services of a good turner, running tap drives. It is best to search turner in places where turners teach. There turner - mentors are always the masters of high class. New or refurbished drive to install in its place. Immediately set in place the caliper bracket. Now the bracket set outer brake shoe. To install the caliper domestic brake pads, need to "drown" in the brake cylinder piston nominated. It's easy and safe to do with a suitable clamp. A guard try to stock up before disassembling the brakes, or your repair may be delayed. Do not try to hammer piston with a hammer, you can do this is expensive. Such a clamp may well be your neighbor's garage cooperative.

Soon will come the coldest time of year - winter. Respectively, and motorists difficulties begin. In this article I will try best to describe in detail the possible problems. With difficulty starting the car may have a poor support for oil, which is matched with the wrong viscosity. In our harsh winter conditions required to pour oil on the viscosity of 5W, and OW, the system of SAE. Manufacturers of such motor oils ensure fluidity even at -50 degrees. Also desirable manual gearbox, as well as reduktotor pour oil, which has a viscosity of 75-90W to SAE. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, the problem with the grease does not arise. Most often there is filled with fluid DEXRON, which was designed and severe frosts. The car, which is over three years, it is desirable to flush the cooling system. Of course, anti-freeze without any problems can last for several years, yet it gradually expanded all sorts of additives and it is unfavorable for engine parts. After a night to look at the surface, which is located under the car near the engine, if you see that there are spots formed by the cooling fluid, which can occur when the temperature of the ambient air - you need to remove any. Even the slightest leak. If the coolant has become muddy or changed its color, its better to completely change. Do not compromise on flooding in the expansion tank is imported liquid. Indeed, domestic "Antifreeze" spoil all the pumps of the cooling system and replacing them - not a cheap pleasure. You also need to check the heating and ventilation. If you have a filter in your vehicle cabin ventilation, then the winter it must be necessarily cleaned or replaced. Cabin filter that is clogged with dust, fluff and insects - is a hotbed of some diseases and odors. On examination the correct operation of all electrical equipment - the first thing to do is very simple - clean the engine and engine compartment. Dirt sufficiently conductive so that a spark could go in another direction and the engine will not start. Dried mud will stop the engine, even in summer, not that winter. For the same reason should be well cleaned or replaced candles. In the summer they will be able to serve again. When buying foreign spark plugs be sure to read the catalog - the model of candles may not be suitable for your car. In general, the candles should be changed after a certain period of time, and each car has its own time slot and not have to look at the fact that the electrodes still quite good. After the run, which ensures the guarantee, the candle may suddenly go wrong and no matter what it brands, domestic or foreign. All high-voltage wires, and no matter what they are brands, about 40 thousand kilometers of spoil. Of course there are special sprays that protect the wires, but they also have some nedotatki. For example they can handle only clean the wire, and secondly their duration is very short. Remember that no car will not start, having dirty ignition coil. You also need to check the "mass" is a wire that goes from the body to the engine.

Many motorists, particularly those from older generations, prefer to repair their vehicles themselves. If minor damage can be pretty easy to fix in your own garage, the work associated with repair of the body or chassis, require additional equipment. Take, for example, dump the car. Buying a factory unit did not benefit the ordinary motorist, as it is used quite rarely, but worth a decent amount. At the same time, the need to use it in some papers is required. So how do you get out of this situation? There are many authoring road tripper, which is made by hand. They vary in design but have the same goal - to facilitate working conditions in a serious car repairs, not investing at the same time in the manufacturing of the devices a significant amount. Immediately I must say that looking at some construction, the first thing to pay attention to security that delivers a product with its use. There are quite a simple system, but the use of many pretty traumatic. For example, Tilting, made of wood material. In such designs is difficult to achieve stable stability of the device and given duty. Even if made on such drawings dump confident enough to work now, then after a while, with the aging of the wooden parts, its use can lead to accidents. Should give preference to those devices that are completely exclude spontaneous sinking car. This is achieved by mounting a serious enough tilt to the floor of the garage and the car. It is advisable to be at least three contact points, one of which falls on the opposite side of the lift side. This design dramatically reduces the risk of "backsliding" of the machine under mechanical impact and shearing it from blocking elements. When choosing a system tilt is useful to consider not only the capacity but the number of people that can help you raise the car. If you use a jack or a special lift system, this question is usually not necessary. Another important characteristic is the angle to which the design allows to lift one side of the car. Of course, it is sometimes quite a bit "bully" the machine to perform a certain job, but if you look more far-sighted, then a greater degree of uplift is always preferable. And in conclusion, that the manufacture of tilt to thoroughly work out the technical documentation design and try to follow closely the recommendations of the developer. If there are restrictions on the use of certain materials, it is reasonable to consider them or to apply more sophisticated. Of course, this should not limit your imagination and rationalization idea, but it is easier to improve an existing product than to start from scratch.
