FS-III support

ATTENTION

All bolts located outside, have an anticorrosive covering. Therefore it is necessary to apply only original spare bolts.
There are two various executions of a brake of a forward wheel. Therefore, using an illustration find out, what execution is established on your car.


REMOVAL


ATTENTION

Brake shoes are object of control of the General rules of the admission to operation (ABE). Besides, plant – the manufacturer they are intended for installation on a certain model of the car. Therefore it is recommended to apply only brake shoes resolved by the manufacturer.


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Mark paint the provision of the corresponding forward wheel concerning a nave. It will allow to establish at assembly an otbalansirovanny wheel in its former situation. Weaken bolts of fastening of a wheel on the car standing on the earth. Lift a forward part of the car, put it on supports and remove a forward wheel.
ATTENTION

If brake shoes are established again, before removal they are necessary for marking. Shift of brake shoes outside inside and on the contrary or from the left wheel on right is not allowed. Surely replace at the same time all blocks of a forward wheel even if only one of them reached a wear limit.


2. Remove covers – 1–from both directing fingers. Twist both directing fingers a face key.
3. Fix a support a wire to a suspension bracket.

ATTENTION

Do not lower a support down as it can lead to a pulling of a brake hose.


4. Take out brake shoes.
INSTALLATION
ATTENTION

Do not press a brake pedal at the removed blocks. Otherwise the piston will be squeezed out from the case. In this case remove a support in a set and insert it into place in conditions HUNDRED.


5. Clear directing surfaces and places of landing of blocks in mine a rag and alcohol. Do not apply for this purpose the solvents containing mineral oils, or the tool with sharp edges.
ATTENTION

To cleaning of a brake apply only alcohol.


6. Before installation of blocks check a brake disk, having felt it fingers. At existence задиров a brake disk it is possible to pierce (work HUNDRED) if it has even sufficient thickness.
7. Measure thickness of a disk, thus address to subsection Check of thickness of a brake disk.
8. Check existence of cracks on a piston boot. In the presence of damages a boot at once replace, as the got dirt quickly leads to loss of tightness of a support. The support for this purpose should understand (work HUNDRED).
ATTENTION

At considerable wear of brake shoes check ease of a piston stroke. For this purpose insert into a support wooden whetstone and ask the assistant to press a brake pedal slowly. The piston should move easily in both parties. For check it is necessary to put other support. Pay attention to completely not to squeeze out the piston. At a heavy piston stroke the support is subject to repair (work HUNDRED).


9. By means of the adaptation return the piston back. It can be made also by means of whetstone of a tree of firm breeds (the hammer handle). Thus watch that the piston did not warp and not to damage a piston and boot surface.

ATTENTION

At a piston otzhimaniye, in the tank brake liquid is squeezed out. Watch intake of liquid in the tank. If necessary remove surpluses.
To an otsasyvaniye of brake liquid apply a plastic bottle which intends only for this purpose. Do not apply for this purpose a bottle to drinking liquid! Brake liquid is poisonous. By no means it is impossible to suck away it a mouth through a hose. Apply to this purpose a siphon. After replacement of brake shoes liquid level in a tank should not exceed a mark of MAX in a tank since when heating brake liquid extends. Following liquid flows down on the brake cylinder, destroying a covering and leading to corrosion.


10. Insert brake shoes in directing a support.
11. Establish a support at first from below (an arrow on an illustration).
ATTENTION

The pin (arrow) of a support should stand behind directing cases of wheel bearings.


12. Fix a support with both directing fingers on the case of wheel bearings the moment
30 N • m.
13. Establish both covers of fingers.
14. Establish both lobbies of a wheel so that the markings put at removal, coincided. Wrap bolts of fastening of a wheel. Lower the car on wheels and wrap bolts of fastening of a wheel a cross – crosswise the moment
120 N • m.
ATTENTION

Several times strongly press a brake pedal so that distinct resistance of a pedal was felt. Thus, blocks will lie down to a brake disk and will take the place.


15. Check level of brake liquid in the tank. If necessary add to MAX mark.
16. Carefully let's be earned extra to new brake shoes. For this purpose several times brake the car since speed 80 to 40 km/h, slightly pressing a pedal. Between braking let's to a brake be cooled.
ATTENTION

After installation of their new blocks it is necessary to earn extra. For this purpose at movement on distance of the first 200 km it is not necessary to brake strongly without need the car.
In a number of regions brake shoes should be utilized as a special material. Local authorities should inform drivers on places of the allowed utilization.
inspect reliability:

– Whether fastenings of brake hoses are reliably tightened?
– Whether the brake hose in the holder is fixed?
– Whether unions of removal of air are tightened?
– Whether it is enough in the tank of brake liquid?
– At the working engine check tightness of system. For this purpose press a brake pedal effort of 200-300 N (20-30 kg) during 10 pages. The pedal should not depart. Check on tightness all connections.
