Replacing the front brake hoses of a VAZ 2110

Holding the tip of the VAZ 2110 brake hose with a “15” wrench, use a “10” wrench to unscrew the tube fitting.
To prevent brake fluid from leaking out of the tube, we put a protective cap from the bleeder fitting on its end.

If the tube nut is severely oxidized, you should use a special “10” wrench covering the five faces of the nut.

We remove the wire of the VAZ 2111 pad wear sensor from the rubber holders covering the hose.

We remove the hose coupling from the shock absorber strut holder.

Using a 15mm wrench, unscrew the hose fitting from the wheel cylinder of the VAZ 2112.

A copper O-ring is installed between the cylinder and the fitting and must be replaced.

After installing the hose, we bleed the brake system of the VAZ 2110 (see Bleeding the brakes).

If you don’t want to contact service center specialists, you can figure out for yourself how to replace brake hoses on a VAZ 2110, and then evaluate your strengths and capabilities in order to begin repairs. The main thing is to understand all the risks and not be afraid of unforeseen situations. Be sure that replacement of small auxiliary parts will be necessary sooner or later, and there is no point in delaying repair or maintenance work. Firstly, if one part fails, it can provoke a decrease in the level of functionality of another, no less important component in the technical system of the car. Secondly, any deformation of parts, their “boiling”, or damage can lead to the undesirable effect of uncontrollability of the car. Just imagine what can happen if a vehicle's brakes malfunction! It is better not to let the car you have at your disposal fall into this state; you should think in time about how to replace the brake hoses of a VAZ 2110 and what you will need for this.

Brake hoses for VAZ 211

Let us remember that the main task of the hoses is to supply brake fluid from the main brake cylinder located in the hood to the working brake cylinders at the wheels. And everything is carried out under considerable pressure and at a fairly high temperature. The hoses are interconnected with moving suspension elements, and therefore are made of wear-resistant rubber, but hoses cannot be called eternal, so sooner or later you will have to decide how to change the brake hoses on a VAZ 2110, and whether it is worth doing it yourself.

When you should think that it’s time to check the condition of the brake hoses on the VAZ 2110

The machine has been in active use for about five years. It is recommended to check the external condition of the rubber parts and decide whether it is time for repair and how to change the brake hoses on a VAZ 2110.
The vehicle was “bought second hand”. When changing the owner of the car, most of the components should be changed, because their history was unknown. For example, were there any repairs or preventive inspections at technical parking lots? And in general, changing the brake fluid under conditions of purchase and sale is simply recommended in order to ensure the effectiveness of the braking system, which is so important in emergency situations on the road. And in parallel with the check, you can decide how to replace the brake hoses on a VAZ 2110, independently or with the help of a specialist.
The owner of the car noticed an unwanted bend or crease in the hose. As a result, this can lead to damage to its integrity and leakage of brake fluid. If this happens, then you cannot do without pumping. And this is a more time-consuming and financially consuming undertaking than solving the problem of how to replace the brake hoses of a VAZ 2110.

Jun 21, 2022 VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110, VAZ 1117 Kalina, VAZ 2170 Priora by admin

And oops! Another article again about brake hoses! Only this time we will talk about replacing the front brake hose on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora . Even I was surprised why I hadn’t thought about the brake hoses of these cars until that moment. And I didn’t bother to write a few lines on this topic. Yes, I agree with you if you say that there is nothing difficult about replacing the front hoses. But, with an amendment. It will be easy only if you have already done this work more than once. And from your personal experience, you know about certain “surprises” and nuances that you may encounter during your work. But for a novice car enthusiast, everything will not seem so simple. A person who has decided, for the first time in his life, to replace the brake hoses on his own, will have the standard type of questions - Which manufacturer of the hoses should I buy?, Is a special tool required for this job?, In what order should the front brake hose be replaced?, And what Difficulties may arise during the work process? Of course, you don’t have to think for a long time, buy any hose that is in the store, remove the wheel and start doing something. True, this something turns into a lot of wasted time and effort, not counting the nerve cells and, possibly, broken certain parts. The only advantage after such work can be considered gaining bitter experience. And that’s all... You definitely won’t get pleasure from the work done. But this can be avoided.

If you have decided to independently replace the front brake hoses on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora, then first of all I recommend that you think about the tool which will be needed for this work. I list: open-end wrenches for 8, 14, 15, socket wrenches for 8 (will also be useful) and the main thing is the presence of special wrenches for brake pipes - a split and/or crimp wrench for 10 (it’s better not to start work without them) . Look at photo number 1. You will also need a small hammer, a metal brush, VD-40 fluid and a transparent bottle with a rubber tube for more efficient and accurate bleeding of the brakes.

I forgot something else... A! Assistant! He will help you not only bleed the system, but also empty a couple of bottles of beer in honor of the successful replacement of hoses)))

Spare parts. Here you will have a very large choice. to list all the companies that manufacture front brake hoses for VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora . Yes, and this is not necessary. Since I advise you to make a choice from two possible options. The first one, brake hoses produced by Balakovo (BRTI). The quality and, as a rule, long service life of hoses from this manufacturer are above all praise. The only disadvantage of this option is the price. She, as they say, “bites.” And if finance sings romances, then we can remember the second option - brake hoses produced by Dimitrovgrad (DAAZ). The price is lower, the quality is pretty decent.

Along with the hoses, you should immediately buy copper washers . It’s even better to say, it’s not “should”, but it’s a must buy . I don’t see any point in saving money in this matter. There is one washer for each hose. The thickness of this copper sealing washer should be - 1.5 mm. Photo 2. Don't forget about the brake fluid. It will be needed to bleed the system after replacing the hoses. A 400 gram bottle of DOT-4 brake fluid is 100% sufficient.

We're done with the preparations. Let's get to the main point! To the description of replacing the front brake hose on cars VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora :

1. First of all, after removing the wheel, I advise you to brush the metal fitting of the brake pipe and spray it with WD-40. After this, remove the protective cap and rubber ring from the bleeder fitting, again brush it and spray it with WD-40. Next, we try to unscrew the bleeder fitting; for this you can use a socket or socket wrench size 8 (photos 3, 4 and 5). Why does this need to be done in the first place? Will explain. The fact is that this unfortunate fitting for bleeding the front caliper of the VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora cars tends to stick tightly . And when you try to unscrew it and bleed the system, it may simply break off. And this happens very often, otherwise I would not focus on this. In this case, it will not be possible to bleed the system. That is, if you start replacing the hose, and then remember about this fitting, then bleeding the brake system may become questionable. It will be difficult to solve the problem quickly. Since it is very difficult to unscrew and carefully drill out the fitting from the body of the aluminum caliper body. Not everyone can do this. And even then, the chances of success in this matter are 50 percent. The surest, fastest and safest way to solve the problem is to replace the entire front caliper brake cylinder . In general, this is what I'm getting at. Anticipating a problem with the fitting, we first pay attention to it. If it unscrews, good. And if it doesn’t and it breaks down, then it’s easier to go to the car market in a car with a broken fitting, but a working brake system (it’s very good if the market is nearby and you can walk to it, but not everyone is so lucky) to get a front caliper cylinder than after replacing the hose and, of course, with an airy system and an ineffective brake pedal, go the same way to the car market. I hope I explained it clearly))). Yes, you can try to “negotiate” with the bleeder fitting using a hammer! If you feel that the fitting is resting, give it a few gentle blows with a hammer, this may help and it will become more compliant (photo 6).

2. After the fitting, you can start working on the brake hose itself. We put a crimp wrench on the brake pipe fitting, hold the brake hose with a 15 wrench and tear the fitting out of place. If it moves with difficulty, tighten it, pour WD-40 and try to unscrew it again. When the tube fitting rotates freely, remove the crimp wrench and then unscrew it using a split or open-end wrench. To avoid loss of brake fluid, we plug the pipe with a rubber cap (photos 7 and 8).

3. Remove the rubber hose ring from the front shock absorber strut holder (photo 9).

4. Using a split or open-end wrench 15 (in some cases 14), we try to unscrew the brake hose from the brake cylinder (photo 10). If you don’t want to unscrew, it doesn’t matter. We take wire cutters. Chick! Photo 11. And we finish the job with a spanner or socket wrench (with a high head) (photo 12).

All! The front brake hose has been removed. At the junction of the hose with the caliper, we carry out cleaning work (dirt, sand and oxidation do not contribute to a tight connection) and screw in the hose with a new sealing washer (photo 13). We tighten it, but without fanaticism. We connect the hose to the brake pipe, making sure that the hose does not get twisted. Don't forget to secure the brake hose to the strut holder. After this, you can start bleeding the system. We ask the assistant to press the brake pedal 3-4 times, at intervals of 1-2 seconds, and then hold it down. At this moment you release the bleeder fitting and liquid and air begin to come out. This is clearly visible in a transparent bottle (photo 14). Tighten the fitting. We repeat the procedure until the liquid begins to come out without air bubbles. Ready. All that remains is to check the tightness of all connections and the fluid level in the master brake cylinder reservoir.

Something like this... The work of replacing the front brake hose on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora cars has been completed. I hope I helped and explained everything clearly. If you have questions or just want to leave your feedback on this material, then do not hesitate to use the comment form))).

Reasons why you should change brake hoses

Microcracks have formed in the bends of the hose, especially at the fastening points of the brake system element.
Areas of abrasion appeared at the contact points between the hose and the suspension. In such a situation, you need to urgently decide how to replace brake hoses on a VAZ 2110, and you can’t do it without a specialist. His task is to establish the further operation of the system so that there are no abrasions and bald spots due to contact of parts.

Brake fluid leaking from existing pipe connections is noticeable
It is rare, but it is possible for stones, snow, dirt, ice to get into the brake system, which can cause malfunctions in its operation.
Product error from the inside. You won't be able to tell by inspection, but there may be a detachment of the inside of the hose. With this option, the passage of brake fluid becomes more difficult and spontaneous blockage occurs. And this leads to disastrous results if you do not decide in time how to replace the brake hoses of the VAZ 2110

Cracks in hose bends
Thus, it is recommended to carry out scheduled replacements of rubber parts when their service life is coming to an end or the machine is often used in extreme off-road conditions. A timely solution to the problem of how to change brake hoses on a VAZ 2110 will have a positive result than in cases of prolonging the problem, inflating the reasons for doing nothing.

What you will need if you decide to start replacing brake hoses on a VAZ 2110

Inspection pit or lift
Set of wrenches for working with hose fasteners
New set of brake hoses for front and rear wheels
Jack, wheel chocks
New brake fluid, according to the volume of complete filling of the system and the next and important pumping
Help from a partner in repair work, especially if you have to do pumping.
Copper ring for fastening the hose, special gaskets.
To pump, you will need a thin transparent hose and a plastic bottle.

Step-by-step instructions on how to replace brake hoses on a VAZ 2110

One of the options for fixing the machine is used - a lift, an inspection hole, a jack.
All necessary tools of suitable diameter and purpose are prepared.
We fill the central cylinder (reservoir in the hood) with brake fluid up to the “max” mark, so that when removing the hose it will not all leak out. Otherwise, the system will need to be bled.
We unscrew the upper fastenings of the hose and install a plug or cap to stop the brake fluid and not let it all out of the system.

Replacing the brake hose

We take hold of the lower fastenings of the hose, release the hose from the shock absorber bracket, and unscrew the fitting from the working brake cylinder.
We inspect the copper ring present in the fastening system. If it is not yet damaged, then we reuse it. But first, the ring should be thoroughly cleaned, and its seat itself should not be dirty.
A new hose is installed, the same sequence is followed that was used when solving the problem of how to replace the brake hoses of a VAZ 2110.

Unscrew the brake hose

Bleeding the brake circuit

Now it’s time to bleed the brake system of the VAZ 2110. If you only changed one hose, then you can bleed only one side on which you changed it. Add brake fluid to the level in the reservoir under the hood. We unscrew the fitting 8 on the working brake cylinder, on the wheel half a turn and put on the hose. We lower the second part of the hose into a bottle that should contain some brake fluid, the other end of the hose should be immersed in the liquid. To bleed, an assistant is needed; he sits in the driver's seat and presses the brake pedal several times until liquid comes out of the tube lowered into the brake fluid without air bubbles. When the fluid flows, you need to leave the brake pedal pressed, then tighten the fitting to 8. Release the pedal, clean the bleeding areas and connections from brake fluid and dirt, and press the brake pedal forcefully several times and check for brake fluid leaks.

Some tips on how to replace brake hoses on a VAZ 2110

An old copper ring can be cleaned with sandpaper and all its surfaces can be leveled.

When installing a new hose, understand its scope. Firstly, it should not twist when the car makes a turn. Secondly, when maneuvering the car, the hose should not touch the car’s suspension elements, otherwise it will very quickly become unusable.

If you changed one or two hoses, you can partially bleed the system according to a certain pattern.

The VAZ 2110 has one feature - to dismantle the rear hose, you need to use the correct keys. For a 10 fitting, use a 15 key.

Bleeding scheme for the VAZ 2110: the rear left wheel, followed by the front right, the second stage - the rear right, and finally the front left.

If possible, buy a special wrench for the brake pipe fittings. It may be necessary to make the work easier, especially if the machine is old and requires major repairs.

Keys for brake pipes
Thus, the scheme for replacing brake hoses on a VAZ 2110 is carried out according to the standard scheme, taking into account safety precautions and the structure and contents of the vehicle. There is a difficulty that often arises - the brake hose fastenings cannot always be removed.
