You carry out removal of front brake shoes in the following order:

weaken bolts of fastening of a forward wheel, you will hang out a forward part of the car and record on supports. Turn off bolts of fastening of a wheel and remove a wheel;

NOTE Surely you make replacement of all blocks of one axis of the car even if the limit of wear was reached by only one block. If blocks are repeatedly established, before removal they need to be marked.

turn off two bolts of fastening of a support to the holder of a support. Pay attention that bolts of fastening of a support самоконтрящиеся and have various length;

disconnect the holder of a brake hose from a rotary fist;

take a support from the holder of a support and a wire tie up a support to a forward suspension bracket;

PREVENTION Do not involve for fastening of a support to a suspension bracket a brake hose. You watch that the brake hose did not stretch and was not overwound.

remove spring clamps of brake shoes;

PREVENTION At stronger pressing of a support to the holder, spring clamps of brake shoes are deformed that can lead to emergence of noise in the brake mechanism.

establish a support in the holder of a support and press it so that it was possible to screw in fastening bolts;

establish bolts and tighten them the required moment. Longer bolts usually are established from above;

fix the holder of a brake hose on a rotary fist;

repeat operation on an opposite wheel;
