• The minimum allowable thickness of the friction lining (without base) is 1.5 mm.

You can check the thickness and condition of the brake pads without removing the wheel through the control hole on the inside of the brake shield 2 (see Fig. Checking the thickness of the friction linings of the brake pads), closed with a plug 1.

Replace brake pads in the following cases:

• the thickness of the friction lining is less than the permissible one;
• the surface of the pads is oiled;
• pads are loosely connected to the base;
• there are deep grooves and chips on the overlays.

Warning:

Pad sets must be replaced on both sides of the front suspension at the same time.

Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or any other mineral solvents to clean the brakes.

1.  Remove the brake drum as described here .

2.  Press cup 3 with pliers (see Fig. Details of the brake drum mechanism of the rear wheel), turn it 90° (holding stand 13 on the reverse side of the brake shield 14), remove cup 3 together with spring 2 and remove stand 13 on the back of the brake shield. In the same way, remove the rack with the spring and the cup of the other shoe.

3.  Using a screwdriver, remove the lower toes of the base of blocks 1 and 7 from the lower support 17.

4.  Disconnect the bottom coupling spring 4 from the shoes.

5.  Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever 8 of the hand drive (shown in the image in step 2).

6.  Carefully spread blocks 1 and 7, remove them from the brake shield 14.

7.  Clamp the brake pads in a vise.

8.  Remove the compression spring 1 (see Fig. Dismantling the brake shoes) of the adjusting wedge.

9.  Remove the upper coupling spring 4 (see Fig. Dismantling the brake shoes) and remove the rear shoe 5 (with the hand drive lever) from the vice.

10.  Remove the compression spring 3 (see Fig. Removing the spacer bar) of the spacer bar.

11.  Remove spacer bar 5 (see Fig. Removing spacer bar) with adjusting wedge 2.

Removed pads complete with springs and levers

12.  Before installing new pads, reduce the pistons of the wheel cylinder 11 (see Fig. Details of the brake drum mechanism of the rear wheel), pressing on them with two mounts.

13.  Lubricate the contact points of the spacer bar with the pad with solid grease G 000 650 or other grease.

14.  Connect the compression spring 1 (see Fig. Installing the spacer bar) of the spacer bar to the front shoe 2 and install the spacer bar 3 on the shoe.

15.  Connect the other end of the compression spring to the spacer bar.

16.  Install the adjusting wedge, directing the protrusion 6 (see. Fig. Removing the spacer bar) on the wedge outward.

17.  Insert the rear brake shoe into the slot of the spacer bar, having previously lubricated the contact points of the bar with the shoe with solid grease G 000 650 or other grease.

18.  Install the upper coupling spring 6 (see Fig. Details of the brake drum mechanism of the rear wheel).

19.  Install the compression spring 18 of the adjusting wedge.

20.  Carefully install the Skoda Fabia brake pads on the brake shield.

21.  Connect the parking brake cable to the lever 8 of the hand drive.

22.  Lubricate the contact points of the lower return spring and shoes with solid grease G 000 650 or other grease.

23.  Install the lower coupling spring 4 and insert the ends of the shoes into the lower
support 17.

24.  Install racks 13 on the reverse side of the brake shield, put springs 2 on them and fix them with cups 3 (by turning them by 90°).

25.  Install the brake drum.

26.  Press the brake pedal several times to bring the pistons into position.

27.  Adjust the parking brake and install the wheel. Bolts of fastening of a wheel finally tighten only on the car standing on the earth.

• The tightening torque of the wheel bolts is 120 Nm.
