Remove the wheel, then use the keys to unscrewbolts of the guide calipers. Use the case and inspect the anthers of the guides and the brake piston, and also check the condition and presence of lubricant on the guides. Remove the caliper from the brake pads and hang it with a thick wire. Hang the caliper on the coils of the spring so that it does not interfere with your further action.
2
Remove the brake pads. Examine them, assess the uniformity and degree of wear. Remove the brake caliper bracket so that the brake disc can be removed. To do this, unscrew the 2 fixing bolts using a socket wrench and suitable extension cords.
3
Remove the brake disc. Usually it is easy to remove from the hub, lightly striking the edge with a wooden hammer and pulling a hand. On some models of cars, for example, Nissan "Wingroad", it is necessary to unscrew 2 fixing bolts with countersunk head. These bolts serve to fix the brake disc to the nave during the replacement of the wheel and protect the assembly from dirt between the disc and naveth. Take a powerful percussion screwdriver, place it in the cleaned dirt head of the bolt and apply a few strong punches with a hammer on the end of the screwdriver. After that, the bolts are usually easily turned away. You can additionally apply a penetrating grease to the bolt. It will facilitate the release of threads from dirt and rust.

Apply a few blows with a hammer on the buttdamaged hairpin. She will come out of her seat with some resistance. Turn the hub by hand until the head of the stud is aligned with the slot in the brake disk apron. If this slot is not present, remove the apron. Usually it is fixed to 3 or 4 bolts, which turn around without problems.

Remove the damaged pin and put a new one in its place. Align the splines of the stud with the splines in the hub hole. Screw the wheel nut onto the thread of the stud until it stops, then pull it with the key. Press pin as much as possible. If necessary, select the bushing of the desired length and place it between the nut and naveth. For a lower resistance, lubricate the threads with bearing grease.

If the threaded connections are strongly rusty, and this is so on most cars, then grease them with a penetrating lubricant. Then let stand for 10-30 minutes, so that all the dirt is ripped. In the most extreme case, use the heating of the thread, since the tank is next to it and the possibility of ignition is high.
5
Remove the stud after unscrewing one nut. If it does not lend itself, then with a hammer and a bolt, the diameter of which is smaller than the hole, knock it out. Further removal of the rack does not cause difficulties. After the assembly of a new one begins. On it it is necessary to install a new anther and a bump. These are the most important elements of the shock absorber. Anther protects the stem from dirt and water.
6
Squeeze the spring stronger than the puller, only afterthis is put on a new shock absorber. The rod of the rack must be extended to its full length during assembly and installation. Otherwise, its end will not go to the luggage compartment. The first thing you need to fix the shock absorber on the body. To do this, put the stand, directing the stem into the hole of the glass.
