From the state of the brake system directly dependssafety of the driver and passengers, driving comfort. It is the VAZ-2110 support that is necessary to ensure effective braking. Comprises an element of the piston, guides and cylinder, is designed to drive brake pads.
Mounted calipers on the front wheels. The rear uses a slightly different type of drive - brake cylinders.
The design of this mechanism is very simple, but itis the most important component of the braking system. If the brake caliper VAZ-2110 is working and working in normal mode, then this directly affects the braking distance of the car. In case of severe braking you have a chance to win several "golden" meters, which can save you from a fatal outcome.
Among the main symptoms of the breakdown of this mechanismit is possible to identify the presence of smudges near the front wheel, as well as an increase in the braking distance. But similar symptoms can appear and when the tubes, hoses, and the level of fluid in the system are destroyed. And therefore, before repairing the support, it is necessary to make sure of its malfunction.
The front caliper of the VAZ-2110 is an elementThe design that holds the brake pads and is responsible for the level of pressure of these elements on the metal discs. With its help, there is also a uniform wear of the pads, which ensures effective braking in any situation. The body is made of aluminum alloy, and the piston is made of steel.
Between these elements there is an oil seal, which prevents leakage of brake fluid from the system. The main breakdowns of the support are as follows:
Breakage can be identified by uneven wear of the pads, as well as an enlarged braking distance. If you find such malfunctions, be sure to change the pads.
To check the front brake caliper VAZ-2110, you will need to do the following:
Any damage to the caliper body and its and other components should alert the driver. It is necessary in this case to change the mechanism.
Any brake fluid that is used inautomotive systems, very well absorbs moisture. It is hygroscopic, therefore it oxidizes the piston mechanism from the inside, which leads to failure of the structural elements. In this case, the stroke of the piston is difficult, the brake pads wear out unevenly.
The front wheels may be jammed.For these reasons, it is necessary to replace the brake fluid. Its resource is about 90 000 km run, but no more than two years. In these solutions, there are many useful additives that improve cooling, increase the efficiency of inhibition.
But over time, under the influence of high temperatures and pressure, these additives evaporate. And the consistency of the brake fluid becomes more like water, and this reduces the efficiency of the system.
You can purchase special sets,designed to repair the caliper. But there is no sense to acquire it. It is much better to replace the VAZ-2110 support. In this case, you will increase the service life of the entire brake system, as well as improve its reliability. In such repair kits there is a lubricant, which is necessary for the piston and guides.
Use graphite grease type SHRUS orLithol 24 can not be used, as this will cause the protective shock absorbers to swell, and the guides simply become oxidized. As a result, repairs will not bring the desired effect for a long time.
The mechanism is very simple in design, dismantlingYou can produce without much difficulty. Even a novice motorist will cope with such work. In order to remove the VAZ-2110 support, you will need to perform the following actions:
When dismantling, assess the condition of all rubbertubes. If they are damaged, even small cracks, it is necessary to install new elements. Such breakdowns can lead to the fact that the braking system is depressurized on the fly.
Install the device in the reverse order. To do this, perform the following actions:
After the system is pumped, it is necessary toFittings put on rubber stoppers. With their help, these elements are protected from moisture and dust. And at the next pumping the twisting of the fittings will be much easier.
If you decide not to replace, repair the mechanism, then you can buy a special kit for this purpose. It consists of the following components:
The cost of the repair kit is about 500 rubles. A new support for a car of the tenth family, depending on the greed of the seller, can have a cost of 2-3 times higher.
But before installing new items,which are included in the kit, it is necessary to completely disassemble the VAZ-2110 support. This requires the use of an air compressor. Connect it to the opening for the brake pipe, then gradually apply air. It is desirable to install a rubber spacer or a wooden block under the piston. This will avoid a shot, since the piston moves freely.
A similar action can be made andjust before removing the mechanism. To do this, do not disconnect the support from the system, instead of the brake pads, install a small wooden bar. Gently press the brake pedal to create pressure in the system. At the same time, you will lose some amount of liquid, but if you still plan to fill a new one, then this is not a problem.
The installation of a new piston is performed usingclamps. Be sure to bend the dust guard so as not to damage it. Before installing the piston, it is necessary to remove non-aggressive liquids from dirt on the internal surfaces. Use carburettor cleaning fluid is not recommended, as it can damage rubber and plastic products.
