Warning! Remember that the dust generated during operation of the brake mechanisms may contain asbestos, which is extremely harmful to human health. Never blow off dust with compressed air or inhale it - wear a protective mask or respirator when servicing the mechanisms. Never use gasoline or petroleum-based solvents to wipe brake system components - use only branded cleaning agents or methyl alcohol!
The calipers of both brake mechanisms of one axle must be changed at the same time.
Front wheel brakes
Removal
1. Loosen the wheel nuts. Jack up the front of the car and place it on supports. Remove the wheels.

3. Remove the mounting bolts.
4. Remove the caliper from the anchor bracket.
Installation
1. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Do not forget to replace the copper sealing washers (gaskets) on both sides of the union connector connecting the brake hose to the caliper. A set of new gaskets is usually included in the repair kit. Tighten the caliper mounting bolts and the hollow bolt of the union connection to the required force.
2. Bleed the brake circuit (see Section Bleeding the brake system). Check the brake line fittings for signs of leaks.
3. Reinstall the wheels, lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the wheel nuts to the required torque (see Specifications in Chapter Settings and ongoing maintenance). Before operating the vehicle, check that the brakes are functioning properly.
