Kia Sportage 3. REAR WHEEL BRAKES
Kia Sportage 3. REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS OF THE BRAKE MECHANISM OF THE REAR WHEEL
You will need: 14 wrench, flat blade screwdriver.
Check Status brake pads at every maintenance.
Brake pads require replacement if the pads are worn (permissible thickness friction linings 2.0 mm), loose connection of the linings with the base, oiling of the working surfaces, in the presence of deep grooves or chips.
WARNINGS
Replace the brake pads of the rear brake mechanisms only with a set of -4 pcs. (two on each side).
Before replacing brake pads, check the level brake fluid in the main tank brake cylinder. If the level is close to the “MAX” mark, it is necessary to pump out part of the liquid (for example, with a medical syringe or a rubber bulb), because after replacing the worn pads with new ones, the level will rise.
1. Loosen the nuts on the left rear wheel, put under the front wheels wheel chocks("shoes"). Raise the rear of the vehicle with a jack, secure it on jack stands and remove the left rear wheel.
2. Inserting a large screwdriver between the caliper and brake disc, slide
caliper outward, thereby sinking the piston of the working cylinder into the cylinder to obtain a gap between the pads and the disc.
Replace deformed or badly corroded springs.
USEFUL TIPS
Every time the brake pads are replaced in without fail check the condition of the protective rubber boots of the guide pin and the movement of the caliper relative to the guide of the brake pads. If movement is difficult, lubricate grease caliper guide pins. The operations for lubricating the guide pins are described in detail above for the brakes of the front wheels (see "Replacing the brake pads brake mechanism front wheel", With. 220).
11. Before installing new brake pads, use sliding pliers to push the piston all the way into the bottom of the cylinder.
12. Similarly replace the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the right rear wheel.
13. Check up and if necessary restore level of a brake liquid in a tank of the main brake cylinder.
USEFUL TIPS
After replacing worn out brake pads with new ones, do not rush to immediately go to busy highways. It is possible that at the very first intensive braking you will be unpleasantly surprised by the low efficiency of the brakes, although the pads are branded. Brake discs also wear out, and new pads touch them only at the edges, practically without braking. Choose a quiet street or passage without cars and slow down gently several times so that the pads get used and begin to fit the entire surface. At the same time, evaluate the effectiveness of the brakes.
Try not to brake sharply for at least the first 100 km. At strong heat unused pads, the top layer of their linings burns and the brakes will not be as effective as possible for a long time.
Hello. We will replace the rear brake pads on the Kia Sportage 3.
Article of original rear pads— 58302-2SA70. If cheaper, then I recommend TRW - GDB 3421.
Regardless of wear, change the pads only as a set. Also, before replacing the pads, check the fluid level in the tank. If the level is at the top mark, pump out some fluid.
After replacing the pads, brake gently several times. Further 50-100 km do not brake sharply.
Tools for work:
- wheel bolt wrench
- key for fourteen
- metal brush
- grease for guide pins
- thread lock blue
- special tool for pressing brake pistons
Step by step replacement
1. Dismantle the wheel.
2. Unscrew and remove the two caliper bolts. Turnkey bolts for fourteen.
3. After unscrewing the bolts, remove the caliper.
The caliper must be tied on a wire to the fist so that brake hose was not tense.
4. We take out the pads from the landing site.
We also remove the anti-creak plate from the right block. But if you bought original pads, it there is a new included.
5. With a brush, we clean the landing brackets of the pads from rust and debris.
6. We take out the guide pins and lubricate them.
Lubricate special grease. Now there are a lot of different ones, so choose according to your pocket.
7. Install the pads in place.
8. We press the piston with the help of large plumbing pliers. You can also do this with a clamp or buy a special tool.
On Kia cars Sportage installed disc brake pads or drum type. The need to replace the rear pads Kia Sportage indicates their wear. The process of dismantling and installing the rear drum pads takes no more than sixty minutes, and disc - within thirty minutes.
To replace rear pads Kia models Sportage with electronic drive parking brake a computer is required. Electronics helps to fix the piston of the brake system in its original position. The rear drum pads are changed along with related accessories (springs, washers and clamps). In some cases, the spreading bar also changes.
Rear pad replacement cost:
The rear drum-type pads have a working resource within eighty to one hundred thousand kilometers, while disc pads - about forty to sixty thousand.
Rear replacement disc pads Kia Sportage in our car services in Moscow is not only the removal of old and installation of new pads, but also the diagnosis of brake calipers with subsequent lubrication of their guides.
The cost of preventive measures is included in the price of replacing the rear pads.
While we are changing the pads, we will do suspension diagnostics for free.
Rear brake pad replacement warranty- 6 months
The front pads on the Sportage I have already changed several times. It seems that my driving style is not aggressive, but they still wear out relatively quickly. Could it be a matter of quality? But I decided to change the rear ones not because they were worn out, but simply because their recommended service life had already expired. I ordered new pads, they brought them to me, I began to change them.
Raise the car on a jack and unscrew the wheel bolts, remove it. After that, we take a 14 wrench and unscrew the lower mounting bolt that fixes the caliper, while lifting it through the upper bolt. We take out the pads from our regular place, but do not rush to insert new ones. Before this, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the guides and only after that we install the blocks we ordered.
Don't forget to put it back in place brake piston and after that you can already start assembling, it, as you already understood, is performed in the reverse order. Do not forget that you have another rear wheel, there are also pads that also need to be changed. After replacing the pads, you need to run power unit, depress the brake pedal several times.
It's about the same as with the front pads. It is much more difficult to change brake pads when it comes to a drum system. For example, on my old car it was exactly like that. There, you first had to knock out a drum with a hammer from your seat, then press on the springs that flew out and then had to look for them or buy new ones. One day, in the end, almost the entire back brake system did not change because of this, so with disc brakes much easier.
In the process of replacing the pads, I saw a hole, the purpose of which I did not understand at first. But then I read on the Internet that the parking brake pads are adjusted through this hole. The topic may not be new, but I hope it will be useful to you. If any nuances arose during the replacement process, then write in the comments, maybe I missed something or did not pay due attention to it.
You will need: 14 wrench, flat blade screwdriver.
Check the condition of the brake pads every time maintenance. Brake pads require replacement when the linings are worn (permissible thickness of the friction linings is 2.0 mm), the linings are not firmly connected to the base, the working surfaces are oiled, in the presence of deep grooves or chips.
WARNINGS
Replace the brake pads of the rear brake mechanisms only with a set of -4 pcs. (two on each side). Before replacing the brake pads, check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. If the level is close to the “MAX” mark, it is necessary to pump out part of the liquid (for example, with a medical syringe or a rubber bulb), because after replacing the worn pads with new ones, the level will rise.
1. Loosen the nuts of the left rear wheel, place wheel chocks (“shoes”) under the front wheels. Jack up back vehicle, support it securely and remove the left rear wheel.
2. Inserting a large screwdriver between the caliper and the brake disc, slide the caliper outward, thereby sinking the piston of the working cylinder into the cylinder to obtain clearance between the pads and the disc.
3. Loosen the caliper lower guide pin bolt, holding the finger from turning with the second key ...
4. ... and remove the bolt.
5. Raise the caliper up...
6. ... remove the outer ...
7. ... and internal brake pads.
8. Remove the piston thrust plate from the inner pad and install it on the new pad.
NOTES
Replace a badly corroded or deformed thrust plate.
This is what the rear brake pads look like. They are the same in shape, but slightly different in design. The outer brake pad A has a different shape of the base reinforcement, and the inner pad B has an audible indicator C of the lining wear limit.
9. Remove the lower ...
10. ... and the upper clamping springs of the pads and inspect them.
NOTE
Replace deformed or badly corroded springs.
USEFUL TIPS
Whenever you replace the brake pads, be sure to check the condition of the protective rubber boots of the guide pin and the movement of the caliper relative to the brake pad guide. If movement is difficult, lubricate the caliper guide pins with grease. The lubrication operations for the guide pins are detailed above for the front wheel brakes. (see "Replacing the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the front wheel").
