Replacing brake discs with Lada Largus

If the brake discs are sufficiently worn out, when their thickness becomes less than permissible, they must be replaced with new ones. Since Lada Largus cars are equipped with different types of engines, the braking system may differ slightly. And these differences will be in the thickness of the brake disc, namely, for engines:

• K7M = 12mm (1,6 8-valve)
• K4M = 20,7mm (1,6 16-valve)

I don't think it's worth explaining once again that the more powerful the engine, the better the brakes should be. That is why the disc thickness on 16-valve engines should be thicker. As for the minimum allowable thickness, it is:

• K7M = 10,6 mm
• K4M = 17,7 mm

If during the measurement it turned out that the above figures are larger than in reality, then the parts must be replaced.

To perform this repair, we need the following tool:

1. Ratchet and crank
2. Hammer
3. 18 mm head
4. Bit Torx t40
5. Bit holder
6. Metal brush
7. Copper or aluminum grease

How to remove and replace a brake disc on a Lada Largus

So, the first step is to rip off the wheel bolts, and then raise the front of the car with a jack. Next, remove the wheel and caliper assembly. After that, you can already proceed directly to the implementation of this repair.

For more clarity, take a look at the report below.

Well, below everything will be presented in a standard form.

Photo report of the work done on the removal and installation of brake discs on Largus

So, when the caliper is removed and nothing else bothers us, it is necessary to unscrew with the help of a torx t 40 bit two screws that attach the disc to the hub.

If the disc is stuck to the hub, which is often the case, then it is necessary to knock on the place of contact with a hammer, as shown in the photo below.

When the disc has already moved away from its place, you can remove it without any problems:

Before proceeding with replacing the discs, it is imperative to thoroughly clean the junction with the hub with a metal brush.

And also apply copper grease, which prevents the appearance of vibration during braking, and also allows you to later remove the disc without hindrance.

And now you can install the new Largus brake disc in its place. The minimum price for these parts Lada Largus is from 2000 rubles per unit. Accordingly, the kit can cost you from 4000 rubles. Of course, the original will cost around 4000-5000 rubles.
