Replacing the brake caliper on a VAZ 2101-2107

The design of the front brake caliper on the VAZ 2101-2107 is quite durable, and it is rarely changed separately. But it has to be removed a little more often, mainly due to the replacement of brake cylinders. Nevertheless, if you need to replace the caliper on the “classic”, then below I will try to clearly explain the entire dismantling procedure. First, it is worth noting that to perform this procedure, you will need the following tool:

1. Wheel wrench for wheel removal
2. Jack
3. Collar and ratchet
4. Head for 17 and 14
5. Slim flat screwdriver
6. Hammer

Now let's take a closer look at the order of work.
