Replacing the rear brake pads on a VAZ 2114-2115

As already described in one of the articles, the rear pads of the VAZ 2114-2115 brake mechanisms wear out more slowly than the front ones. But all the same, over time they should be replaced with new ones. Usually, a weak hand brake is the first sign of wear. Of course, you can tighten it, but the effectiveness of the brakes themselves will not improve from this. You can replace the rear brake pads with a VAZ 2114-2115 on your own, and for this you need a minimum of tools:

  • deep head 7
  • ratchet handle or crank
  • flat screwdriver
  • long nose pliers or pliers
