During the operation of the car, due to the wear of the rear brake pads and the pulling of the drive cables, it periodically becomes necessary to adjust the stroke of the parking brake lever.
The parking brake lever travel should be 2-4 clicks. At the same time, the braking system must reliably hold the equipped vehicle on a slope of 23%. If this is not the case, we check the condition of the parking brake system and, if necessary, adjust the se («Parking brake - adjustment») and replace worn or damaged parts, after which we repeat the check.
The forward brake mechanism is disk, ventilated, with a floating bracket and one working cylinder. The brake disc is cast iron, its minimum wear thickness is 17.8 mm. The gap between the brake pads and the disc is maintained by the elasticity of the rubber sealing ring installed in the groove of the wall of the working cylinder.
