Replacing brake pads Toyota Avensis
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. When the piston was in its place, set the inner brake shoe and attach it to the piston spring clamp. It remains to finally assemble the brake mechanism. Before I go on the road with new brake pads, pump up the pedal brake pressure. Pads will be in place. With the new pads to be careful. While they do not pritrutsya a disk braking might not be very effective.
