with the wear of linings of brakes pads. Reducing the fluid level
to "MIN" mark indicates that the linings of brake pads have had
maximum wear. In this case, check the condition of the linings,
no need to add fluid into the tank, as the installation of new
linings will bring the fluid level in the tank up to the normal.
Brake fluid warning light comes on when the fluid level falls
lower than the MIN mark, which indicates that, if brake pad
linings are new or partially worn, the system is not airtight or
the fluid is leaking. In this case, add fluid only after all leakages
are eliminated.
Check the fluid level in the tank simultaneously with the
alarm level sensor by pushing the central part of protective cap
1 (if the ignition os switched on, the warning light should appear
on the dashboard).
Check the hoses of the brakes. If cracks have appeared on
the outer side of the hoses, replace them.
front disc brakes.
To inspect brake shoes 2 (Fig. 9.34), place
the vehicle on a level ground and set the parking brake. Inspect
the shoes through the window in caliper 4. If the linings wear
to the thickness of 1.5–2.0 mm, replace the shoes on both front
brakes.
If brake shoes with audio signals of the wear are installed
on the motor vehicle, change the shoes if clanking (tinkling)
occurs, which indicates the shoes are worn down.
Make sure you properly install such shoes. The shoes with
audio signals of the wear are not interchangeable — the left for
right brakes. Install such shoes from the piston side, so that the
wear signal is in the upper part of the shoe (brake). Install the
shoes without signals to the outer parts of both brakes.
To replace the brake shoes, unscrew bolts 16, remove carrier
18 and spring 1.
Check the brake disc. If its surface has deep notches and
burrs, remove it, clean and grind. When the disc wears to the
thickness of 20.4 mm, replace it.
Check protective caps 5 and boots 8 for damage and proper
installation in seats, replace them, if necessary.
Check the outer surface of bushings 10 in the area of boots 8
for grease and lubricate them with UNIOL 2M/1 TU 38.5901243-
92 grease, as required.
