Replace brake pads if necessary.
The minimum permissible thickness of the friction linings of the pads is 1.5 mm. If the linings wear to 1.5 mm or more, replace the sets of pads in the brake mechanisms.
Apply the parking brake and place chocks under the rear wheels.
Clean the brake mechanism from dirt.
Caution: Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or any other mineral solvents to clean the brakes.
Attention! The pads are replaced on both sides of the car.
Warning! It is not allowed to replace the inner and outer pads with each other, as well as between the left and right wheels. This may lead to uneven braking.
Caution! If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at or near the "MAX" mark, pump out some of the fluid from the reservoir.
1. Remove the front wheel (see subsection 2.23.).
2. Visually check the condition of the pads through the hole in the brake caliper housing. If the pad thickness is about 2 mm, it is recommended to replace the pads.
3. Remove the rubber seal together with the hose from the bracket.
4. Use a screwdriver to bend back the tab of the lock washer on the top bolt.
5. Unscrew the upper bolt securing the bracket housing, holding the guide pin by the hexagon with a wrench.
6. Rotate the bracket body downwards around the axis of the lower pin.
7. Mark the brake pads if you plan to reinstall them.
8. Remove the brake pads.
9. Check the condition of the brake shoe friction linings. Replace them in the following cases: a) the lining thickness is less than 1.5 mm; b) the surface of the linings is oily; c) the friction lining is not firmly connected to the base. The linings should not have deep grooves or chips.
10. Clean any dirt or rust from the brake parts, especially the brake shoe seats. Do this carefully so as not to damage the cylinder protective boot.
11. When installing new pads, press the piston into the cylinder. Install the worn brake pads in place (instead of the internal one it is better to put only the base) and lift the bracket housing. Using a screwdriver or crowbar, press the inner shoe and lean on the brake disc to carefully press the piston into the cylinder.
12. Install new brake pads. The pressure springs should be parallel to the top edge of the pads. Install the old pads in accordance with the previously made markings.

13. Turn the bracket body upward and tighten the upper mounting bolt to a torque of 31–38 N·m (3.1–3.8 kgf·m), holding the guide pin by the hexagon with a wrench.
14. Bend the tab of the lock washer with a screwdriver. Install the wheel and lower the car to the ground, then press the brake pedal several times to set the piston to the working position. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and top up to the norm if necessary (see subsection 2.19.).
