Replacing the rear brake cylinder with a VAZ 2101-2107

If the rear brake cylinder on a VAZ 2101-2107 begins to stick or ineffectively perform its function, it should be replaced with a new one. For this we need the following tool:

1. Split wrench for unscrewing brake pipes
2. Penetrating lubricant
3. 10 socket with ratchet or conventional 10 wrench

So, first of all, you need to perform some preparatory procedures, which are listed below:

• Jack up the rear of the vehicle
• Remove the wheel
• Remove the rear wheel brake pads

After that, the rear brake cylinder becomes free and its location is shown in the photo below:

So, first you need to spray the penetrating lubricant on the brake pipe, and then unscrew it:

After that, it is necessary to unscrew the two cylinder fastening bolts, which are located on the back side:

The most convenient way to do this is with a head and a ratchet:

And now you can safely remove the VAZ 2101-2107 brake cylinder from the reverse side, as is clearly shown in the photo below:

Next, we buy a new cylinder, the price of which for all classic models is about 300 rubles apiece. If you change a pair, you will accordingly have to buy two pieces and spend 600 rubles. Installation is carried out in reverse order.

If necessary, after replacing, bleed the brakes if air appears in the system.
