3. If visually to estimate the residual thickness of blocks it appears difficult, or there is a need for more detailed survey of blocks, remove a support(s) and take blocks for more detailed studying (see the Head the Brake system).

4. After blocks are taken from a support, clear them by means of special means and check the residual thickness of slips by means of a ruler or a caliper with a vernier scale.

5. Measure by a micrometer thickness of brake disks. Compare results of measurements to standard requirements (see Specifications). If thickness any of disks leaves abroad admissible range, replace it (see the Head the Brake system). If thickness of a disk is normal, check its general state. Pay attention to such defects as deep scratches, furrows, teases, overheat traces, etc., in case of need remove a disk and send him to a pro-point (see the Head the Brake system).
6. Before establishing to the place of a wheel, examine all brake lines on existence of signs of damages, wear, destruction as a result of aging of material, traces of leaks, bends, twisting and other deformations (in particular near points of connection of flexible brake hoses to supports of brake mechanisms. Check reliability of fastening of hoses collars. Make sure that any of brake hoses also suspension brackets do not adjoin to acute angles of the components of a body, system of production of the fulfilled gases located in the neighbourhood (at any provisions of a steering wheel). In case of need make the corresponding repair or correct a route of laying of lines. Replace defective components (see the Head the Brake system).

1. When checking back drum brake mechanisms make sure that the parking brake is released, then tap a drum outside the hammer with soft brisk for the purpose of weakening of landing.
2. Remove brake drums.
3. Make careful cleaning of brake mechanisms with use of the special cleaning structure.

Do not blow off brake dust from a surface of components compressed air at all and do not inhale it - dust may contain asbestos, harmful to your health!

4. Estimate the residual thickness of frictional overlays of brake boots (forward and back). Thickness of a slip is measured from an external surface and to a metal substrate (glued slips), or to heads of rivets (riveted slips). In the first case extreme admissible value makes 3 mm, in the second - 1.6 mm. In case of need make complex replacement of boots. Boots are subject to replacement also in case of identification of cracks, zapolirovanny to gloss of sites of slips, or traces of hit of brake fluid.

5. Make sure of correctness of connection and serviceability of a condition of all springs of assembly of the brake mechanism.

6. Check assembly components for existence of traces of leak of brake fluid. Having carefully hooked a finger or the small screw-driver, remove rubber boots from the wheel cylinder in the top part of boots. Identification of any signs of leaks in these parts demands carrying out immediate recovery repair of assembly of the cylinder (see the Head the Brake system). Also check all brake hoses and their nipple connections for existence of traces of leaks.

7. Carefully wipe the internal surfaces of the reel with the pure rags impregnated with methyl alcohol. Try not to inhale the brake dust containing asbestos.
8. Examine the working surface of the reel on existence of cracks, zadir, traces of an overheat and other damages. If defects cannot be removed by processing of a surface with a fine-grained emery paper, the drum should be given for a pro-point to a workshop of car service.
9. Repeat the procedure for components of the opposite brake mechanism. Install into place reels, fix wheels and lower the car on the earth.

1. Check of serviceability of functioning of the vacuum amplifier of brakes is made from the driver's place.
2. At completely squeezed out pedal of a foot brake start the engine, - the pedal has to fail a little more.
3. At the working engine several times squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake. The size of the course of a pedal has to remain a constant.
4. Squeeze out a pedal, kill the engine and continue to hold a pedal pressed within about 30 more seconds during which it should not neither fail below, nor rise.
5. Again start the engine, let's it work for about a minute, then again muffle. Again several times firmly squeeze out a pedal, - the size of the course has to be reduced with each muscleman.
6. In case of negative result of the described check the servo-driver of the vacuum amplifier of brakes is subject to replacement (see the Head the Brake system).
