Replacing the front brake hoses of a VAZ 2110

Replacing brake hoses, bleeding brakes on a VAZ 2110

What to do if you need to change some part on your car, but you don’t know how to approach it, where to start, and indeed where it is located?
But what if, according to the regulations of your car, it’s time to change consumables, but you don’t know what it is? Well, in the end, what if your vehicle simply won’t start? You can learn about all this and much more without leaving your home, or even your car! You just need to go to the CAR.RU website, to the “car repair” section and find the instructions you need, similar to those outlined below. If you made your next trip to a service station and found out there that when checking the brake hoses (TB) by auto mechanics, it was discovered that they were in very poor condition, then this problem needs to be dealt with somehow.

With a problem like this, you simply won’t be able to drive a car. Such things are no joke! That is, it is necessary to change the TS immediately and urgently. You can see with your own eyes exactly how the TC is changed on the domestically produced VAZ-2110 car.

Since this will air the system, it will be necessary to bleed the brakes. There is nothing criminal here, you will cope with this task.

A small educational program:

In any braking system, one of the main elements is the brake hoses. These are multilayer flexible tubes made of especially durable polymer materials. The strength of these tubes is determined by the fact that during operation they are subject to high pressures and hydraulic loads. Modern materials and manufacturing methods make it possible to produce reinforced tubes that are durable and have a long service life.

Brake pipes and hoses, almost always, at least in the technical regulations for servicing any car, you will not find any mention of their replacement. But, like all parts of the brake system, they must be inspected by a specialist at every maintenance. And on cars older than ten years, it’s worth paying extra attention to these components. We are talking about brake pipes and hoses, details that are inconspicuous, reliable, but nevertheless not at all eternal.

Purpose of the brake hose

The brake hose is designed to quickly transmit impulse to the wheel brake cylinders. At the moment when the driver presses the brake pedal, a pressure pulse through the brake fluid is transmitted through the brake hoses to the wheel cylinders, which already act directly on the pads. The pads, in contact with the brake drum (brake disc), create friction, which sharply reduces the speed of the car.

All car enthusiasts know very well that a serviceable and well-functioning braking system is a guarantee of safety on the road. When just one element is damaged, the operation of the entire system is disrupted. If the brake hoses are faulty, the brake system may fail with very dire consequences. This is why it is so important to check the serviceability of brake hoses in a timely manner. Indicators of serviceability are : elasticity of all brake hoses; absence of even small cracks on their surface; reliable holding of hoses on the tips; perfect condition of the threads on the tubes.

Changing the technical gear on a VAZ-2110 car

Purchase the necessary items in advance:

two keys (a key for “fifteen” and a split key for “ten”);
set of TS (front and rear);
jack and wheel wrench (remove the wheel).

Instructions:

Jack up the vehicle, install jack stands, and remove the wheel.
Holding it at “fifteen” with the aforementioned wrench and unscrewing it with a special wrench, remove the hose tip.
Plug the opened hole with a cap.
Unscrew the hose from the caliper.
Install the new hose in the reverse order, without twisting it.

Bleeding brakes on a VAZ-2110 model car

Purchase the items you need in advance:

brake fluid;
thin rubber tube (preferably transparent);
empty bottle (transparent);
key to "eight";
assistant (we recommend, however, that you can bleed the brakes without his help).

Follow the instructions below carefully:

First, loosen the bleeder fitting.

Secondly, put the tube on the fitting and lower the other end into the bottle.

Thirdly, check the fluid level in the tank; if it is not enough, add it.

Fourthly, the assistant presses the brake pedal three times, keeping it depressed on the last press.

Fifthly, unscrew the fitting with the “eight” key.

Sixth, when the pedal becomes soft and falls through, tighten the fitting.

Seventh, repeat steps four through six several times until the liquid poured into the bottle flows without air bubbles.

You can learn how to carry out this procedure using the video “Bleeding the brakes on a VAZ.” Good luck and fair wind!

Jack up and remove the wheel.

Again, take the key for “fifteen” and a special key for unscrewing the brake pipes.

We hold the hose first, and unscrew the tube with the second. The latter should not rotate, only its tip.

They turned it off and it started flowing. We plug it with a standard rubber cap from the bleeder fitting.

Now unscrew the hose from the brake caliper.

Old and new hoses.

Immediately before purchasing, focus on the surface indicated by the arrow in the image. It must have high precision surface treatment, without marks or burrs.

A clear and obvious sign that the hose needs to be changed (cracked).

Install the new hose in reverse order. IMPORTANT! The wheel is straight, the hose must not be twisted along its axis! To do this, we do not twist the hose, but only the tip of the tube.

When the hoses are replaced, air remains in the system. The latter, of course, needs to be eliminated. Bleeding: first equip yourself with new brake fluid, a thin rubber hose, preferably a transparent empty bottle and an “eight” key.

We break the tightness of the fitting, but do not unscrew it.

We put one end of the hose on the fitting, and lower the other into an empty vessel. We put an open-end wrench for “eight” on the fitting.

If necessary, add liquid to the tank. Bleeding: An assistant presses the brake pedal all the way 3 times and on the third time keeps the pedal pressed, and you loosen the fitting half a turn. Liquid pours into the container, the pedal has failed, tighten the fitting back, pump it. Repeat this procedure six to ten times until liquid flows out of the tube without bubbles.

Before bleeding the rear brakes, drive a screwdriver into the sorcerer.

Remove the rear wheel.

The pumping principle is the same. We advise you to start bleeding from the furthest wheel from the GTZ: right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir, check for leaks “by eye” and test brake in a safe place.

Reasons for replacement

Brake hoses are designed to carry brake fluid from the master cylinder, through the brake lines, to the brake wheel cylinders under high pressure and temperature. They work constantly in moving suspension elements, therefore they are made elastic from a rubber compound.

VAZ 2110 brake system diagram

The main reasons for replacing brake hoses on a VAZ 2110 car are:

the presence of cracks on the outer part during bending;
abrasions on suspension elements;
brake fluid leaking from the splined joints of the tube;
in more rare cases, a defect may occur as a result of a foreign body entering while driving on the road (crushed stone, stones, snow, ice, etc.);
Also, in exceptional cases, the inner part of the hose peels off (it is not possible to detect it visually), in this case a blockage occurs inside and liquid does not pass through it; it is revealed during dismantling.

How does CO work?

CO scheme

On the 8-valve injection VAZ 2110, the cooling system operates due to coolant forcedly circulating through it. When the engine heats up, excess pressure arises, which is released through the exhaust valve.
For the 16 valve injection VAZ 2110, the cooling system has an optimal operating temperature in the range of 90-95 degrees Celsius. And the valve is activated when pressure occurs with indicators from 1.2 to 1.4 kgf/cm2.
When the excess pressure is released, the engine returns to normal temperature and the intake valve is turned on. This happens cycle after cycle.
If the pressure balance is disturbed, overheating occurs, the consequences of which can be various types of breakdowns, including the need to completely replace the power unit.
Due to the operation of the thermostat and electric fan, the VAZ 2110 maintains the required constant operating temperature. There is a sensor on the cylinder head that transmits information about the current coolant temperature to the control unit.
A command is sent from the coolant temperature sensor to the cooling system, which begins to work in order to reduce engine heating.
If there is electronic injection in the car design, it also has a special sensor that sends a message to the electronic control unit about overheating of the power unit.
The pump supplies coolant, distributed by the thermostat.
When you turn on the engine, it needs to warm up to operating temperature. To do this, the thermostat directs the coolant through a small circuit, without including circulation through the radiator. The small circuit includes: Heater for warming up the interior;
Carburetor heating unit (naturally, only on carburetor VAZ 2110);
Heating of the throttle unit;
Intake manifold.

When the engine warms up to approximately 90 degrees Celsius, the thermostat sends some of the coolant to the radiator. When the engine overheating sensor is triggered, all the cooling liquid circulates through a large circuit. Article on the topic: Replacing the boot of the outer CV joint on a VAZ 2109 (Video)Source

Replacement and installation

We put the car on a jack or lift, remove the wheel, for ease of access we unscrew the wheel in the opposite direction from the side of the hose being replaced. Use a 15mm wrench to hold the edge of the inner part of the hoses and use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the fitting. We put a rubber cap on the tip of the tube, removed from the bleeder fitting on the working brake cylinder on the wheel, no matter how much brake fluid flows. We take out the hose from the bracket on the shock absorber and use a 15 wrench to unscrew the fitting from the working brake cylinder. If the copper ring remains on the cylinder, remove it and thoroughly clean the area of dust and dirt before installation. If you don’t have a new copper ring, you can put in an old one, pre-treat it with sandpaper and level the surface. Installation is carried out in reverse order. It is important that after installation the new hose should not be twisted and when turning the wheel in any direction it should not touch the vehicle’s suspension elements.

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.

Nuances

If both tubes are being replaced, then bleeding must be done sequentially - the front right wheel, then the front left one.

When replacing the rear brake hose of a VAZ 2110, the replacement principle is the same, except that on the rear hose on both sides there is a 10-point fitting and a 15-point key. Also, to replace the rear hose, you need a pit or a lift (theoretically, you can replace it on the ground, but this extremely inconvenient).

You can independently replace drum brake discs with disc brakes using this article: https://vazweb.ru/desyatka/tormoza/zadnie-diskovye-tormoza.html

When bleeding the entire brake system on a VAZ 2110, the algorithm is the same. But you will need to remove the rear wheels, and bleeding is carried out in the following order: rear left wheel, front right, rear right, front left.

Replacing brake hoses on VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112

As a rule, brake hoses that are made of good rubber and are not kinked anywhere during installation will last quite a long time. There are two reasons for their failure: 1) age and mileage; at high mileage, the hoses constantly move and are subject to greater pressure; 2) prolonged idleness of the car leads to hardening of the rubber and cracks.

Note! You will need the following tools: a special wheel bleed wrench (full name: brake pipe wrench), wrenches and screwdrivers.

Location of hoses

Front wheel drive vehicles use two brake hoses at the front and two at the rear. In the front part they are easy to find and convenient to change; just remove the wheels and they will appear before your eyes (shown in the top photo). And in the back you will need to crawl under the car. In this case, it is better to use the inspection hole and unscrew the fastening nuts (see bottom photo).

When to change?

Once a year, or just when you have to remove the front wheels, monitor the condition of the hoses. No one will tell you the specific mileage for replacement. The manufacturer actually recommends changing them after 125,000 km or 5 years of operation. At such values it is necessary to do this, but the hoses can become unusable much faster. Therefore, keep an eye on them, and if you find any swelling, severe abrasions, cracks, or delamination of rubber, replace them immediately.

Replacing brake hoses on VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112

Note! Before you begin the repair, be sure to fill the reservoir to MAX and monitor the fluid level, do not allow it to drop below MIN, otherwise you will encounter difficulties from air ingress.

Removal

1) Both in the rear and front parts of the car, the hoses are removed almost identically. We'll start with the front hoses. First, remove the wheel from the side where you are going to change the hose. Then unscrew the brake hose from the top where it attaches to the brake pipe. This location is indicated in the photo with a red arrow. The hose is unscrewed from the tube as follows:

Spray WD-40 at the connection between the hose and tube;
then use a wrench to grab the hose nut;
Use a special wrench to unscrew the fitting (see the small photo for details).

Your brake fluid will leak. Use a bleeder cap to close this fitting, preventing liquid from leaking out. The hose is unscrewed at the bottom using one key. The hose attachment location is indicated by a blue arrow. After unscrewing the hose, remove the copper sealing washer and be sure to replace it with a new one.

Note! If, while unscrewing the brake hose at the top, you will realize that it is very soured to the brake pipe. This is quite easy to understand: the brake pipe fitting will rotate together with the hose. In such a situation, the tube should be replaced with a new one.

2) The procedure is similar at the rear: the hoses are attached to the tubes and disconnected using WD-40. Then, holding the hose from turning, unscrew the fitting with a special wrench (photo 1) and plug it with a cap, preventing the liquid from escaping (photo 2). Similarly, disconnect the parts from the other end. The rear ones are not attached to the caliper, but are only screwed to the brake pipes.

Installation

It is carried out in the reverse order of removal, and the sealing washers are replaced with new ones. Do not allow the hoses to twist; for this purpose, a colored stripe is applied to them; twisting is determined by it. Finally, bleed the brakes on the car (described in detail in the article: “Bleeding the brakes on cars”).

Below are videos on today's topic, we recommend you watch them:

Unscrew the loose nut

If the tube has never been unscrewed, then its edges are intact. However, the mileage is high, then there is a 95% chance that it has gone sour! I EXTREMELY DO NOT ADVISE you to climb and unscrew with a regular wrench, be it an open-end wrench or a socket wrench!

What you need to do initially:

Clean the mounting area. Often there can be so much dirt that the nut is not visible at all.
Treat the fastening area with liquids like WD-40 (they made a homemade one here), and wait 30 - 40 minutes
We need a special wrench to remove the brake pipes. It has an extra bolt that fits very tightly around the edges of the nut.

Here the principle is simple, throw on the wrench, tighten the bolt on it and unscrew the nut. In 60-70% of cases everything works out quite quickly and easily. Watch the video

However, there are still 30 - 40% of cases. And here it is not always so simple.

Let's figure out how to change brake hoses on a VAZ 2110

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.

VAZ-2110 caliper maintenance and repairs

It is mandatory to service the VAZ caliper after each replacement of brake pads, as well as in the event of a forced inspection due to its malfunction, for which it is first necessary to check the condition of all rubber elements, shock absorbers and anthers. It is also imperative to replace the grease for the caliper guides. You need a good synthetic based silicone lubricant that can withstand high temperatures.

To remove the piston from its seat, it is necessary to create the appropriate force using an air compressor (pistons are repaired one at a time, the stroke of the second is blocked, for example, by a wooden block). With the same success, when removing the product from the car, you can press the brake pedal without disconnecting the VAZ 2112 caliper from the brake hose. It is advisable to use a rubber adapter in order to absorb the sharp impact of the freely moving piston and its “shot”.

VAZ 2110 caliper repair

The piston is pushed back using a special clamp. In this case, the boot should be bent to compensate for excess air pressure. The hole for the piston and for the guides are cleaned and washed with carburetor cleaning fluid, all gaskets, boots and seats are also thoroughly lubricated.

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.

Procedure for replacing the front brake cylinder on a VAZ 2110-2112

To show the entire repair process more clearly, watch the video I recorded for this topic:

Video instruction

The video was made using the example of a VAZ 2110 car and is equally suitable for both 2111 and 2112. The only way the car parts may differ externally is the brake discs: ventilated or not, as well as their sizes.

Photo report

First of all, we will need to remove the front wheel of the car, after first lifting the car with a jack. After this, using a hexagon, you need to unscrew the two bolts securing the caliper bracket.

Now you can remove the bracket and remove the pads:

Then you can rip off the brake hose with a wrench, but you don’t have to unscrew it completely.

Next, we unscrew two more bolts securing the cylinder to the caliper, having previously bent the two locking plates under them using a screwdriver.

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 comes 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

VAZ-2110 caliper maintenance and repairs

If you had to buy a repair kit, it contains such lubricant, all the necessary gaskets, new guides and a piston. The price of such pleasure will cost you about 500 rubles. Buying a new VAZ-2110 (2112) caliper, depending on the store and region of Russia, will cost from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

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.

Brake pipe wrenches

Thus, the scheme for replacing brake hoses on a VAZ 2110 is carried out according to a 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.

How do you deal with such a problem? Do you have experience in repair work and a win-win option for dismantling a brake hose? Share your experience.

Replacing a brake hose on a VAZ 2110

Brake hoses made of high-quality material usually have a long service life. Which VAZ 2110 brake hoses are better? Those that are made of high-quality rubber and preferably from a reputable manufacturer.

The reasons why this part fails are as follows:

The car is not new.
Its mileage is several tens of thousands of kilometers.
The car was idle for a long time.

What is needed to replace hoses

In order to change brake hoses on a VAZ 2110, you must have:

wrench for brake pipe fittings;
screwdriver;
wrench.

Where is the part located?

If the car is front-wheel drive, then there will be 2 VAZ 2110 brake hoses located in front and behind it. To get to the front brake hoses, just remove the wheels. In order to find the rear brake hoses, you need to use the inspection hole and unscrew the fastening nuts.

Location of the brake hose VAZ 2110

Replacement timing

Every time it becomes necessary to remove the front wheels, it is worth checking the condition of the hoses. There is no set car mileage required for replacement. Although VAZ advises changing them after 125,000 km, or 5 years after operation. But you should understand that the hose can become unusable much earlier. The detail should be monitored. If it shows severe wear, swelling, cracks, or delamination of rubber, the brake hose must be quickly replaced.

Replacement

Before replacing the VAZ 2110 brake hose, the reservoir should be filled as much as possible and ensure that the fluid level in it does not decrease.

In order to replace the front hoses of a VAZ 2110 you need to:

Remove the wheel.
Unscrew the brake hose where it attaches to the brake pipe. For convenience, you can spray WD-40 at the connection point and use a wrench to grab the threaded VAZ 2110 brake hose nut. Then, using a special wrench, unscrew the fitting.
Brake fluid should flow. To prevent it from leaking out, the fitting is closed with a cap.
Unscrew the hose from below.
The sealing washer is removed. It is also subject to replacement.

The same actions are performed with the rear brake hoses.

Installation of the part is carried out in the reverse order. It is important to ensure that the hoses do not become kinked. To determine this, you need to look at the colored stripe applied to the parts.

At the end of the work you need to bleed the brakes. If only one brake hose has been replaced, the side that was replaced is bled.

To bleed, you need to fill the brake fluid into the reservoir to the level. Unscrew the fitting on the 8th working brake cylinder and put on the hose. Place the other end of the part in a bottle with a small amount of brake fluid. It will be necessary to attract an assistant.

He sits in the driver's seat and presses the brake pedal several times. Air bubbles should come out of the tube lowered into the bottle of brake fluid. If fluid leaks out, the brake pedal remains pressed and the fitting is tightened to 8.

The brake pedal can now be released. Clean the bleeding area and connections from dirt and press the brake pedal a few more times. It is important that there is no brake fluid leakage.

Lada 2112 ᵀᴴᴱ ᴼᴿᴵᴳᴵᴺᴬᴸ › Logbook › We check and replace the sorcerer VAZ 2110-2112 with our own hands

The braking system of a car is an important safety element. Its good condition can save lives in case of road accidents. One of the most peculiar components is the rear brake pressure regulator, colloquially known as the sorcerer. This name appeared with the first Zhiguli cars because of its mystery and unknown operating principle. The VAZ 2110 sorcerer has a catalog number starting with 2108, and is used, in addition to the tenth family, on other VAZ cars: Samara, Kalina and Priora.

Check
Symptoms of a malfunction of the sorcerer on the VAZ 2110 appear when braking: The car pulls to the side;
Skidding; Insufficient brake performance. The VAZ 2110 has a sorcerer on a bracket under the bottom, slightly to the left, in the area of the rear wheels. It is better to work with it on a lift, overpass or inspection hole. The main defects are easily detected during external inspection. Brake fluid leaks indicate wear or damage to the seals. If the sorcerer's piston has turned sour and does not move, then this is also determined visually when the assistant smoothly presses the brake pedal several times. In both cases, repair is impractical and replacement is necessary.

Everything is in order if the regulator is clean, the gap between the drive lever and the plate is 2 mm, the rod moves when the pedal is pressed. A working sorcerer must ensure: Uniformity of braking forces on the rear wheels; Rear brakes engage later than front brakes; Adjustment of this delay, depending on the vehicle load.

Removal and installation To replace the sorcerer on a VAZ 2110, you need keys 13 and 10. Instead of 10, a special wrench for brake fittings is very desirable; it is more gentle than a regular open-end wrench when handling soft copper nuts due to the large contact area. This wrench is similar to a ring wrench, but has a slot for inserting tubes and tall sponges into it. You need about half a liter of brake fluid and 4 rubber plugs for the brake hoses. AvtoVAZ cast iron and Belarusian aluminum regulators are sold in VAZ spare parts stores. The Russian “VIS” is usually more reliable, the Belarusian Fenox is lighter and cheaper. Conditions under the bottom are unfavorable for the sorcerer, so first you need to clean the dirt with a stiff brush and moisten the threaded connections with a penetrating lubricant like WD-40. The fixing bracket is removed from the rear beam; if necessary, you can use a powerful screwdriver to loosen it. Carefully unscrew the brake pipes, mark them for reassembly, and close them with rubber plugs

To dismantle the regulator, it is more convenient to unscrew the two nuts securing the bracket to the bottom and remove the sorcerer assembly. During installation, the bolts securing the regulator (attention, the front bolt is longer than the rear), through the elongated holes, are not completely tightened to the bracket to ensure movement during adjustment. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order; for reliability, the retaining bracket on the beam must be crimped with pliers. To remove air from the system, after work it is necessary to bleed the brakes

It’s easier to do this together, the process has been described many times, including for the VAZ 2110-2112. When replacing the sorcerer, it is enough to bleed only the rear brakes. AdjustmentThe work of the sorcerer on VAZ cars depends on the position of the body. Therefore, adjustment must be performed not only during each maintenance, but also when replacing shock absorbers and springs, after repairing the rear beam and, of course, replacing the sorcerer itself. The car is placed on an overpass or inspection hole, to install the suspension in an equilibrium position, it swings a couple of times hands trunk. Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the fastening bolts to the bracket; the front bolt is not visible from below, you need to find it by touch. By moving the regulator, a gap of 2 mm is achieved between the elastic plate (the rod rests against it) and the lever. The spring resistance is high, you need to use a “mounter” or a special device. The bolts are tightened and the gap is checked with a feeler gauge. In the absence of a probe, you can use a drill with a diameter of 2 mm and even a two-ruble coin. Further checking is carried out on the go. When braking from a speed of 40 km/h, on your own or with the help of a partner outside the car, evaluate the moment when the rear mechanisms begin to operate in comparison with the front ones. If it needs to be done later, then the gap must be increased, and if less, then reduced accordingly. Useful tips In addition to the sorcerer, the effectiveness of rear axle braking is affected by:
