Replacing the generator brushes on the VAZ 2110, 2114, 2115

Since front-wheel drive cars of domestic production, such as VAZ 2110, 2115 and 2114, are almost identical in the set of electrical equipment, many repair and maintenance operations will be identical. For example, this can be attributed to the repair of a generator, namely the replacement of brushes.

I don't think it's worth explaining that the normal charging of the car's battery primarily depends on the wear of the alternator brushes. And if you do not replace them in time, then over time the battery will be discharged and you will constantly need to charge it.

Below is the necessary list of tools that will be needed to replace the generator brushes on your own:

1. Open-end or box spanner 13
2. Socket head for 8 with ratchet
3. Flat blade screwdriver

Now, below we will analyze this procedure in more detail, we will give the necessary photos in order to show the whole process more clearly.

So, the first step is to disconnect the battery terminal and remove the generator from the car, although some perform the replacement without removing the device.

We open the cover, which is a protective casing:

After that, we immediately disconnect the power supply wires of the brushes, as shown in the photo below:

Now it only remains to unscrew the two bolts that secure the part we need:

And unscrew one nut with a 13 key, which is on the right:

That's practically all, now we just raise the voltage regulator and you can start replacing it. It is worth noting that before installing new brushes, carefully check the removed ones: if their length is less than 5 mm, then this indicates excessive wear and they need to be changed without hesitation.

The price of a new part for VAZ 2110, 2114, 2115 cars is no more than 150 rubles, so this repair will cost you mere pennies. Agree that this is better than a new generator!
