Contents: Adjustment ↓ Examination ↓
The need to adjust the pressure regulator arises after its replacement, replacement of the rear suspension springs, or when the rear wheel brakes are not working properly.
To complete the work you will need:
- assistant;
- inspection pit or overpass;
- drill or piece of wire with a diameter of 2 mm.
Adjustment
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Place the unloaded vehicle on an inspection pit or overpass.
3. Press the rear of the car several times to adjust the suspension.
4. Measure the gap A between the plate and the lever (see below), which should be 2.0-2.1 mm. If the gap size does not correspond to the required size, adjust the regulator drive.
5. With a spanner by 13 mm loosen the front bolt securing the pressure regulator to the bracket.

6. Using large sliding pliers, move the adjusting bracket, setting the gap between the plate and the lever to 2 mm.
7. Tighten the front bolt securing the pressure regulator to the bracket.
Examination
During sudden braking, the rear wheels should lock with a slight delay (1-2 sec) relative to the time of locking of the front wheels. The assistant steps aside and watches the locking of the car wheels.
At a speed of about 40 km/h, sharply press the brake pedal with enough force to lock the wheels. If the rear wheels lock before the front ones, then the gap A must be increased. If the rear wheels do not lock or lock too late, then the gap A must be reduced.
