How to change pads on VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112

To stop the VAZ 2110, front disc and rear drum brakes are used. Their effectiveness directly depends on the pads. Low-grade consumables rattle, squeak and knock during operation, and are also not able to brake the car intensively enough. Therefore, it is important to purchase only high-quality pads and replace them in a timely manner, which is not difficult to do with your own hands.

Original disc pads VAZ 2110

Original VAZ 2110 disc brake pads have article number 21083501080. Their price is 280-380 rubles. The service life directly depends on operating conditions and driving style, and therefore is not standardized by the automaker.

Official recommendations are to control the size of the friction lining every 15 thousand km. If it turns out that the thickness has become less than 1.5 mm, then the pads need to be replaced. According to reviews, the average resource of original pads is 15-50 thousand km.

Briefly about the process of replacing brake pads on a VAZ-2110

On average, the pads need to be changed every 30 thousand mileage.

First, let's look at the simple technology of replacing pads on a ten. Anyone can change them, spending at most half an hour.

For our work, we will need a standard set of tools, a pry bar or a powerful screwdriver, and a rag. WD-40 penetrating lubricant and guide block lubricant may also .

And, of course, new pads. We change them only as a set on the right and left wheels.

Symptoms of wear

The middle pads will last about 30 thousand mileage and they wear out three times faster than the rear ones, since the main load during braking falls on them. Under no circumstances should you use pads from different sets or different degrees of wear; we install only a new set, from only one manufacturer.

Difference in thickness of old and new pads.

Regardless of the mileage, if these symptoms appear, we at least check the condition of the pads and discs:

1. Creaks and clanks when braking.
2. Vibration during braking.
3. Increased braking distance.
4. Large brake pedal travel.
5. Uniform impacts when braking.
6. Traces of dust and chips on the brake mechanisms.

It is these symptoms that will tell us that the service life of the brake pads has been exhausted. We can say with almost 100% confidence that the block has worn down to an acceptable thickness of 1.5–2 mm .

Let's start replacing.

Replacement algorithm

Since we are going to disassemble the brake caliper, we will evaluate the condition of the brake disc, boots, cuffs, hoses and cylinders .

1. We place the car on a flat surface, place wheel chocks under the rear wheels and tighten the handbrake, remove the negative terminal from the battery.
2. We remove the wheel bolts with a wheel wrench.
3. Raise the car on a jack and remove the wheel.

   We remove the wheel.

4. We thoroughly clean the caliper from dust and dirt, and look for brake fluid leaks.

5. Using a pry bar or a powerful screwdriver, we move the pistons of both working cylinders as far back as possible to free the pads.
6. Disconnect the pad wear sensor terminal (if there is one).

   Disconnect the pad wear sensor connector.

7. We bend the edge of the locking washer with a screwdriver or pliers.

   We bend the edge of the lock washer.

8. Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the fastening bolt, holding the guide with a 17mm wrench.

   Unscrew the lower mounting bolt with a 13mm wrench.

9. Remove the fixing bolt and washer.

   Remove the bolt and lock washer.

10. We move the caliper away from the brake disc; if it does not give in, we try to seat the pistons of the working cylinders deeper.

    We pry the caliper with a screwdriver to open it.

11. We take out the old pads.

    We remove the worn brake pads.

Before installing new pads, thoroughly clean the brake mechanism, lubricate the guide pin with high-temperature grease and reassemble in the reverse order.

After replacement, we check the operation of the brakes; the first few tens of kilometers the pads will wear in, so the braking efficiency will not be complete.

Choosing the right pads!

The standard brake pad for the front ten brakes has the following parameters:

• length 104.3 mm;
• height 62.1 mm;
• thickness 17.5 mm.

Dimensions of a standard VAZ-2110 disc pad.

When choosing pads, you should consider not so much their price as the material of the friction lining . And this material, in turn, depends on the driving style and preferences of the driver.

Selecting the material and category of pads

Briefly, each of the materials has the following characteristics:

1. Semi-metallic clutches. The most inexpensive, they are made from a friction mixture, which includes graphite, inorganic fillers and 60–65% chips of non-ferrous and ferrous metals. Such pads dissipate heat well, do not overheat, but wear out the brake disc a lot. Noisy and very dusty. They do not work well in low temperatures.
2. Low metal pads. Same story, but the percentage of metal content is reduced to 30–35% . Mainly composed of organic fillers. Softer and less noisy pads.
3. Organic pads. Consist of glass material, carbon fiber, Kevlar. The metal content does not exceed 12–15% . The pads are very soft and low noise, but they wear out intensively. But organics are gentle on the brake disc and have good friction properties at the initial stage of braking. Not recommended for fans of an aggressive driving style, but a calm, balanced driver will comfortably drive them for at least 40–50 thousand.
4. Ceramic friction linings. The best option for conditions where intensive and frequent braking and high speeds are required. The basis of the lining is ceramic fiber; rubber and soft non-ferrous metals are included in different proportions. Ceramic pads are equally effective at both low and high temperatures, do not wear out the brake disc much, and last quite a long time.

In addition to material, pads are distinguished by categories, roughly speaking, by quality of workmanship. There are three of them - a conveyor, an aftermarket and a spare parts market for third countries:

• original conveyor pads are supplied directly to the factory, they meet all possible standards, although judging by the original VAZ-2110 pads, this is not always the case;
• aftermarket is a complete copy of the original pads, they cost half as much, but the quality can sometimes be better than that of the original ones;
• Pads for third-party markets look no different from aftermarket spare parts, but the quality of the materials is an order of magnitude worse and they cost a third less.

But no matter what category the pad is, it must indicate basic parameters - operating temperature, coefficient of friction and catalog number.

We select brands and look at prices

The native tenth pads are not spoken of very flatteringly. They are only enough for a break-in, after which the braking efficiency drops noticeably and they begin to creak and vibrate.

These are pads from the domestic TIIR plant with catalog number 2108 35010 80 .

Their only advantage is that they are given free of charge (along with a new car), so you don’t mind throwing them away.

Standard TIIR pads.

Budget pads include Ferodo with number TAR527B at a price of about 400 rubles. Despite the price, they performed well both in tests and in real life.

With godless use, they can withstand up to 40 thousand mileage, unless you run into a fake, of which there are quite a few.

In the same price category there are Remsa , Dafmi , and there is inexpensive Nippon .

Budget brake pads FERODO TAR527B.

Lucas/TRW can hardly be called budget, they cost about 800 rubles. Catalog number GDB1446. They practically do not wear out the brake disc and last quite a long time. The best option for urban conditions. Good ATE pads and German Girling pads will cost about the same amount; they are supplied to Bavarian conveyors.

Lucas pads.

For 1,500 rubles you can buy Ferodo Premier series pads. Excellent quality, premium series of famous pads. In all indicators and characteristics they are ahead of the first two groups. Durable, low noise with a high coefficient of friction, which is not lost at temperatures of about 500 degrees.

Ferodo Premier premium pads.

The premium category includes Bosch , Textar and Delphi Hankook Frixa premium series pads and, of course, Brembo .

There is a choice, the most important thing is to determine in what conditions and how intensively the car is used . Then the pads will not disappoint with their quality and will not upset you with the high price. Strong brakes and smooth roads to everyone!

Instructions for replacing VAZ 2110 pads (front and rear) with video support

Brake pads are an extremely important element of the car’s braking system, and the safety of both the car and road users largely depends on their serviceability.

Therefore, you need to constantly monitor the condition of the brake pads and replace them in a timely manner. This operation is not very complicated, so it is easy to carry out yourself if you have all the necessary tools, without going to an expensive service station.

As an example, consider the process of replacing pads on a VAZ 2110.

When to change pads

The brake pads of the VAZ 2110, if you don’t delve into their design, consist of a friction lining and a special frame.

Friction linings perform braking and, precisely by the material from which they are made, these linings are distinguished.

This material (for the friction lining) is based on a special reinforcing component, which determines such design parameters as strength, stability, heat resistance and reliability of the braking qualities of the system.

New brake pads for VAZ 2110

Like any part, VAZ 2110 brake pads have their own service life, which is usually 30,000–50,000 km of vehicle mileage or the friction lining reaches a thickness of 1.5 mm.

(that is, they practically grind down to zero, but most often when braking, piercing unpleasant sounds arise from under the wheels). When the thickness of the brake linings is less than 1.5 mm.

Excessive stroke of the brake cylinder pistons occurs, which leads to its leakage.

Brake pads should also be replaced if:

• the friction linings are covered with an oily substance (oiled);
• mobility of the linings on the base was detected;
• Deep chips, grooves or cracks have appeared on the surface of the friction linings.

It is also necessary to monitor the wear of the brake discs, which should be replaced when they reach a thickness of 17.8 mm. (for ventilated discs) or 10.8 mm. (for non-ventilated ones).

Which ones to choose for replacement?

The quality of braking and comfort when slowing down the car (no whistling or grinding noise) also depend on the quality of the brake pads. It is also necessary to consider the following when choosing a consumable:

• Poor quality pad material can be the main cause of squeaking, as well as accelerated pad failure;
• When purchasing, choose front brake pads with manufacturer catalog number 21100-3501080-00;
• The same brake pads can behave differently with different brake discs, which significantly complicates the choice;
• To make the right choice when buying brake pads, you need to read reviews in magazines about cars, directly at points of sale, among friends.

Recently, Ferodo, ATE, Allied Nippon and Lucas brake discs have become very popular for the VAZ 2110..

How to remove

For this operation, you need to prepare key No. 17, key No. 13 and pliers. First we jack it up, remove the wheel as when replacing it, and prepare a set of new brake pads intended for the VAZ 2110. Next:

1. Using pliers, bend the edge of the locking plate at the lower bolt on the wheel cylinder.

1. To install new brake pads, perform the above steps in reverse order. However, you must remember to clean the seats from dirt, install the internal block, and move the bracket to the working position. Then we move the bracket with a screwdriver, resting it on the brake disc and retracting the piston with a screwdriver, which is inserted through the hole for the caliper.

   Using a gas wrench, press the piston into the brake cylinder

2. If the new front pads are equipped with a wear sensor, then you need to connect it. We cut the wire responsible for pad wear.

6. After changing the brake pads, bleed the brakes by pressing the brake pedal several times.
   This is done so that the pistons take their working position. Now we check the brake fluid level under the hood. If it is minimal, add brake fluid. By the way, be careful, it is very toxic and can corrode rubber hoses and even paintwork! Brake fluid reservoir for VAZ 2110

Replacing brake pads on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands (video)

Content:

It is quite easy to determine a malfunction of the brake system by the first signs - a beating in the steering wheel and a metallic squeak coming from the front wheels. Such phenomena indicate that it is time to change the brake pads.

Brake kit

The sound of grinding metal is the most obvious indicator that the pads have worn away, meaning they no longer have the asbestos coating on them. Consequently, when braking, the metal of the worn-out device rubs against the brake disc, which leads to rapid destruction of the latter.

It is recommended to replace the rear brake pads on a VAZ 2110 simultaneously with changing the front ones. The fact is that the main part of the load during braking is taken on by the front elements. This is approximately 70 percent of the load. The rear ones serve more as a balance, so they wear out much less intensively than the front ones.

Let's take a closer look at how the rear and front pads are replaced on a VAZ 10.

Front

Before starting work on replacing the front brake pads on a VAZ 2110, be sure to arm yourself with a set of tools, which includes:

• Hammer with short handle;
• A small sharp chisel;
• Two wrenches - socket and socket 13;
• Open-end wrench 17;
• Pliers;
• Small crowbar;
• Jack;
• Balloon wrench;
• New pads.

When everything is ready to go, you can begin the replacement process.

1. Park the car in such a way that it cannot roll away. It is best to put some kind of stoppers under the wheels. It is advisable to use special devices rather than simple bricks.
2. Loosen the bolts on the front wheels and lift the car to one side using a jack.
3. Completely remove the wheel mounting bolts, remove it and place it under a raised part of the machine. This is a simple safety measure in case the jack accidentally comes off.
4. Now we determine the location of the front brake pads on the VAZ 2110. The calipers are located in front of the brake disc, so to easily replace the left pad, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and vice versa.
5. To make it easier for you to access the part, arm yourself with a thin chisel and a hammer. These tools will unlock the top bolt.
6. Unscrew it with a 13 socket wrench, holding it on the other side of the caliper with a 17 socket wrench.
7. There is no need to remove the pad yet, since the caliper is now in its extreme position. That is, the new part will not fit into place.
8. Do not completely unscrew the bolt; use a crowbar and insert it between the body and the pad, pressing the caliper all the way.
9. Once this is done, unscrew the top bolt all the way. This will move part of the caliper to the side, thereby providing access to the pad itself.
10. Remove the old pads and put new ones in their place.
11. During assembly, simply follow the reverse order of dismantling. Just remember the importance of bolt countering. The washer must be bent onto the edge of the fastener. At this point the replacement can be considered complete.

Rear

For clarity, we recommend watching a video about replacing the rear brake pads on a VAZ 2110. This will make it easier to complete the task and have a visual representation of each stage of repairing the brake system.

It will be good if you once installed disc elements . The beauty of them is that the process of replacing the rear pads will be similar to the front ones.

In some cases, depending on the design of the rear brakes, it may be necessary to completely remove the rotor and caliper. All other activities are carried out in exactly the same way as in the case of the front pads.

The situation is completely different for those who use factory drum braking systems. The work will have to be done delicately, but completely achievable on your own.

To get started, arm yourself with a set of tools, which includes:

• Balloon wrench;
• Jack;
• Pliers;
• Screwdriver;
• Hammer;
• Sharp chisel;
• Open-end, socket and ring wrench sizes 12, 13 and 17 - 3 sizes of each type of wrench.

Now we proceed directly to replacing the rear brake pads.

1. Place chocks under the front wheels and remove the rear wheel.
2. Unscrew the guides using a 12mm wrench.
3. Guides are required for fixing to the axle shafts of the drums.
4. It may be quite difficult to remove the drum from its place. This is where you will need a hammer and a wooden stand. Tap the inside of the drum. It is strongly not recommended to hit the drum directly with a metal hammer, as the mechanism may be damaged.
5. If the drum cannot be removed even after hammering, treat the contact areas with the hub with WD40 or other penetrating lubricants.
6. Then, arm yourself with pliers and remove the springs from the bottom and top of the pads.
7. Remove the guide spring located in front.
8. This will allow you to completely remove the block.
9. When the bar is removed, you can begin to remove the spring from the rear pad.
10. Well, now remove both parts of the block. When removing the back one, remember the hook. It comes from the handbrake cable.
11. After removing the old block, put a new one in its place. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
12. But there is one caveat - the bushing must be removed from the drive arm, which will greatly facilitate the reassembly process. The upper part of the pads is inserted into the grooves located on the cylinder rod.
13. Be prepared for the fact that certain difficulties may arise when installing a new element. The reason is the large output that remains as a result of the operation of old brake elements.
14. Take two pry bars and squeeze the two blocks together to bring them as close as possible. At this point the replacement can be considered completed.
15. At the last stage, mandatory bleeding of the brake system is carried out. Without it, not a single intervention in the design of car brakes can be done.

Brake pads VAZ-2110: how to replace?

Serviceable pads are the key not only to your safety, but also to the safety of other road users.

Excessive wear of these elements increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle and causing an accident.

In order not to become a victim of your own negligence, it is necessary to systematically check the condition of the pads and change them on time. By the way, for this it is not at all necessary to contact a car service.

Design and operating principle of front wheel brakes

The front wheels of the “ten” have a disc design. Its basis is:

• brake disk;
• caliper;
• working brake cylinder with piston;
• two pads;
• fastening elements.

When we press the brake pedal, the fluid acts on the piston of the working cylinder and moves the caliper. The pads placed inside it are pressed against the brake disc, forcing the hub to stop rotating.

How to understand when it's time to change the front pads

Each part of any mechanism has its own resource, after which it must be replaced. The front pads of the VAZ-2110 are no exception. Their resource, as stated by the car manufacturer, is 10 thousand kilometers. But this is only subject to their normal operation. They often fail much earlier. They can report their malfunction:

• warning light on the dashboard;
• decreased braking efficiency and wobbling of the steering wheel;
• creaking, grinding, crunching when braking.

Some may be surprised, but the front brake pads of the VAZ-2110 have a wear sensor in their design. When they wear more than normal, a warning light in the shape of a wheel lights up on the dashboard. This is the first evidence that it is time to change the pads.

If, while braking, you notice that the car begins to lose control and during this, extraneous sounds are heard from the front wheels, this is also a reason to diagnose the brake mechanism.

How to check the pads

Checking the pads involves determining the thickness of their linings. To do this, of course, you will need to remove the wheel and disassemble the caliper or drum. Measurements are made with a caliper or a regular ruler. The thickness of the overlays must be at least 1.5 mm. If the result of your measurements is close to this value, hurry to replace the pads.

Which brake pads for the VAZ-2110 to choose

Only the right choice of brake system parts will allow you to feel confident on the road. And you shouldn't save money here. As for the manufacturer, then, as usual, preference should be given to the original.

Front brake pads for the VAZ-2110 come under catalog numbers 2110-3501080, 2110-3501080-82 or 2110-3501089. Such parts are inexpensive - about 300 rubles. You can choose pads from well-known global manufacturers of auto parts.

They will cost more (up to 1000 rubles), but their quality is noticeably better.

Important: pads, both front and rear, are changed only in pairs and always on both wheels of the axle! That is why branded spare parts are sold exclusively in sets of four items.

Necessary tools and tools

So, if you have already purchased replacement parts, make sure that you have the necessary tools and supplies on hand. Among them:

• jack;
• wheel wrench;
• anti-rust liquid;
• medical syringe for 20 cubic meters;
• keys for 13 and 17;
• slotted screwdriver;
• pliers;
• hammer and chisel;
• pipe (gas) wrench.

Changing the front pads

Replacing the front brake pads on a VAZ-2110 is carried out as follows:

• We park the car on a level area. Fix the rear wheels.
• We unscrew the wheel bolts, jack up the body and remove the wheel. Turn the steering wheel towards the wheel to be disassembled until it stops.
• We inspect the brake mechanism for mechanical damage.
• Determine the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir. If it is full, use a syringe to remove the liquid (30-50 ml).
• We knock off the retaining ring from the lower caliper mounting bolt. To do this we use a skein and a chisel.
• Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the lower caliper bolt. We hold the guide pin with a 17 key. If necessary, use anti-rust liquid.
• We take out the bolt and remove the caliper with the cylinder.
• Open the caliper and remove the VAZ-2110 brake pads from it.
• A wear sensor is installed on the rear (inner) pad. Using pliers, we bite off the wire going to it. After this, disconnect the sensor connector.
• We install new pads in the caliper. Be careful and don't get confused. Inside there is a block on which the sensor is installed.
• If the cylinder piston interferes with installation, “sink” its protrusions using a pipe wrench.
• After installing the pads, connect the sensor to the wiring harness.
• We reassemble in reverse order.
• Following this algorithm, we replace the pads on the other wheel.

Rear brake design

The brakes of the rear wheels of the “tens” have a drum design. It includes:

• brake slave cylinder;
• two pads;
• parking brake drive;
• fastening elements.

The principle of operation of the rear brake mechanism is as follows. When you press the pedal, the brake fluid acts on the pistons of the working cylinder. They extend and move the pads apart. Their linings rest against the working surface of the drum, forcing it to stop rotating.

The hand brake is activated by a cable and rod. We pull the handle, the cable acts on the traction, it spreads the pads.

What you need to replace the rear pads

First you need to purchase the pads themselves. When choosing them, follow the tips given above. Domestic manufacturers of auto parts sell VAZ-2110 rear brake pads under original numbers 21080-3502090, 21080-3502090-00, 21080-3502090-55, 21080-3502090-90, 2108-3502090, 2108-3502 090-80. It will not be superfluous to purchase a set of springs: tensioning and guides.

Tools you will need:

• jack;
• wheel wrench;
• hammer;
• wooden spacer;
• wrench 8;
• two 13mm wrenches;
• anti-rust liquid;
• long nose pliers

Before changing the brake pads on a VAZ-2110, do not be lazy to release the handbrake cable. Without this, given that they have no wear, you are unlikely to be able to install them in the drum. The cable on the inspection hole is loosened using two open-end wrenches 13.
