How to choose a hose, which brake hoses are better
As a rule, brake hoses can be divided into two types - rubber and reinforced.
Reinforced hoses have two layers: the outer layer is a special metal mesh-braid and the inner layer is a reinforced plastic tube.
The metal mesh will not allow the hose to deform and has a different structure compared to the steel mesh in rubber hoses, so it is considered more reliable. This hose design makes it possible to more effectively control the braking process. The disadvantage of these hoses is that the reinforced surface can scratch everything around. This is why most manufacturers add a third clear layer of PVC to their hoses.
At first glance, rubber hoses are simple, but in fact, they consist of three parts and are quite reliable. The rubber inner coating of the hose holds the brake fluid inside. The next coating is a steel mesh that prevents the hoses from deforming due to pressure. The third layer is a thin rubber coating that provides moisture resistance and flexibility to the hoses. Rubber hoses are quite wear-resistant, but it is believed that the brake system works slower because of them. This occurs as a result of the fact that under pressure they are subject to deformation a little more than reinforced ones.
How often should you change the front pads of LADA “Kalina”
Even under normal operating conditions, it is impossible to give a definite answer on how long the Kalina front brake pads last. The mileage after which they need to be replaced ranges from 10 to 60 thousand kilometers. In addition to the driving style and the quality of the brake pads, the service life is affected by the condition of the following suspension and brake system parts:
- retaining brackets and springs;
- brake hoses;
- cuffs, seals and boots of brake cylinders;
- brake discs; adjusting rods;
- brake pad mounting parts.
With use, these elements wear out, faults accumulate in them and cause uneven or accelerated wear of the brake pads. The service life of the pads is shortened by the chemicals that are sprinkled on the streets in winter to prevent the formation of ice. Therefore, even the designer of the Kalina will not be able to name the exact mileage after which the pads will need to be replaced. The need for replacement is determined by another criterion - the thickness of the friction linings. If they are thinner than one and a half millimeters, the pads must be replaced.
How to remove a brake hose, step-by-step instructions
- First, jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel.
- Then you need to remove the rubber ring and the protective cap from the bleeder fitting.
- Unscrew the bleeder fitting.
- Now let's get to the brake hose. We put a crimp wrench on the brake pipe fitting, hold the brake hose and tear the fitting out of place. If it is difficult to move, tighten it, pour in WD-40 and try to unscrew it again. When the tube fitting rotates freely, the crimp wrench must be removed and the tube fitting must be unscrewed using an open-end or split wrench. To avoid loss of brake fluid, the tube should be plugged with a rubber cap.
- Now you need to remove the rubber hose ring from the front shock absorber strut holder.
- Unscrew the brake hose from the brake cylinder.

And oops! Another article again about brake hoses! Only this time we will talk about replacing the front brake hose on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora . Even I was surprised why I hadn’t thought about the brake hoses of these cars until that moment. And I didn’t bother to write a few lines on this topic. Yes, I agree with you if you say that there is nothing difficult about replacing the front hoses. But, with an amendment. It will be easy only if you have already done this work more than once. And from your personal experience, you know about certain “surprises” and nuances that you may encounter during your work. But for a novice car enthusiast, everything will not seem so simple. A person who has decided, for the first time in his life, to replace the brake hoses on his own, will have the standard type of questions - Which manufacturer of the hoses should I buy?, Is a special tool required for this job?, In what order should the front brake hose be replaced?, And what Difficulties may arise during the work process? Of course, you don’t have to think for a long time, buy any hose that is in the store, remove the wheel and start doing something. True, this something turns into a lot of wasted time and effort, not counting the nerve cells and, possibly, broken certain parts. The only advantage after such work can be considered gaining bitter experience. And that’s all... You definitely won’t get pleasure from the work done. But this can be avoided.
If you have decided to independently replace the front brake hoses on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora, then first of all I recommend that you think about the tool which will be needed for this work. I list: open-end wrenches for 8, 14, 15, socket wrenches for 8 (will also be useful) and the main thing is the presence of special wrenches for brake pipes - a split and/or crimp wrench for 10 (it’s better not to start work without them) . Look at photo number 1. You will also need a small hammer, a metal brush, VD-40 fluid and a transparent bottle with a rubber tube for more efficient and accurate bleeding of the brakes.
I forgot something else... A! Assistant! He will help you not only bleed the system, but also empty a couple of bottles of beer in honor of the successful replacement of hoses)))
Spare parts. Here you will have a very large choice. to list all the companies that manufacture front brake hoses for VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora . Yes, and this is not necessary. Since I advise you to make a choice from two possible options. The first one, brake hoses produced by Balakovo (BRTI). The quality and, as a rule, long service life of hoses from this manufacturer are above all praise. The only disadvantage of this option is the price. She, as they say, “bites.” And if finance sings romances, then we can remember the second option - brake hoses produced by Dimitrovgrad (DAAZ). The price is lower, the quality is pretty decent.
Along with the hoses, you should immediately buy copper washers . It’s even better to say, it’s not “should”, but it’s a must buy . I don’t see any point in saving money in this matter. There is one washer for each hose. The thickness of this copper sealing washer should be - 1.5 mm. Photo 2. Don't forget about the brake fluid. It will be needed to bleed the system after replacing the hoses. A 400 gram bottle of DOT-4 brake fluid is 100% sufficient.
We're done with the preparations. Let's get to the main point! To the description of replacing the front brake hose on cars VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora :
1. First of all, after removing the wheel, I advise you to brush the metal fitting of the brake pipe and spray it with WD-40. After this, remove the protective cap and rubber ring from the bleeder fitting, again brush it and spray it with WD-40. Next, we try to unscrew the bleeder fitting; for this you can use a socket or socket wrench size 8 (photos 3, 4 and 5). Why does this need to be done in the first place? Will explain. The fact is that this unfortunate fitting for bleeding the front caliper of the VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora cars tends to stick tightly . And when you try to unscrew it and bleed the system, it may simply break off. And this happens very often, otherwise I would not focus on this. In this case, it will not be possible to bleed the system. That is, if you start replacing the hose, and then remember about this fitting, then bleeding the brake system may become questionable. It will be difficult to solve the problem quickly. Since it is very difficult to unscrew and carefully drill out the fitting from the body of the aluminum caliper body. Not everyone can do this. And even then, the chances of success in this matter are 50 percent. The surest, fastest and safest way to solve the problem is to replace the entire front caliper brake cylinder . In general, this is what I'm getting at. Anticipating a problem with the fitting, we first pay attention to it. If it unscrews, good. And if it doesn’t and it breaks down, then it’s easier to go to the car market in a car with a broken fitting, but a working brake system (it’s very good if the market is nearby and you can walk to it, but not everyone is so lucky) to get a front caliper cylinder than after replacing the hose and, of course, with an airy system and an ineffective brake pedal, go the same way to the car market. I hope I explained it clearly))). Yes, you can try to “negotiate” with the bleeder fitting using a hammer! If you feel that the fitting is resting, give it a few gentle blows with a hammer, this may help and it will become more compliant (photo 6).
2. After the fitting, you can start working on the brake hose itself. We put a crimp wrench on the brake pipe fitting, hold the brake hose with a 15 wrench and tear the fitting out of place. If it moves with difficulty, tighten it, pour WD-40 and try to unscrew it again. When the tube fitting rotates freely, remove the crimp wrench and then unscrew it using a split or open-end wrench. To avoid loss of brake fluid, we plug the pipe with a rubber cap (photos 7 and 8).
3. Remove the rubber hose ring from the front shock absorber strut holder (photo 9).
4. Using a split or open-end wrench 15 (in some cases 14), we try to unscrew the brake hose from the brake cylinder (photo 10). If you don’t want to unscrew, it doesn’t matter. We take wire cutters. Chick! Photo 11. And we finish the job with a spanner or socket wrench (with a high head) (photo 12).
All! The front brake hose has been removed. At the junction of the hose with the caliper, we carry out cleaning work (dirt, sand and oxidation do not contribute to a tight connection) and screw in the hose with a new sealing washer (photo 13). We tighten it, but without fanaticism. We connect the hose to the brake pipe, making sure that the hose does not get twisted. Don't forget to secure the brake hose to the strut holder. After this, you can start bleeding the system. We ask the assistant to press the brake pedal 3-4 times, at intervals of 1-2 seconds, and then hold it down. At this moment you release the bleeder fitting and liquid and air begin to come out. This is clearly visible in a transparent bottle (photo 14). Tighten the fitting. We repeat the procedure until the liquid begins to come out without air bubbles. Ready. All that remains is to check the tightness of all connections and the fluid level in the master brake cylinder reservoir.
Something like this... The work of replacing the front brake hose on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115, VAZ-1117 Kalina, VAZ-2170 Priora cars has been completed. I hope I helped and explained everything clearly. If you have questions or just want to leave your feedback on this material, then do not hesitate to use the comment form))).

The bleeder fitting, how to unscrew it and what to do if it does not unscrew
As for the bleeder fitting, it needs to be dealt with first, because the bleeder fittings for the front caliper of VAZ vehicles tend to stick almost tightly.
And if you try to unscrew it and bleed the system, it will simply break off. This happens quite often and, at the same time, it will not be possible to bleed the system.
The surest, fastest and safest way to solve the problem is to completely replace the front caliper brake cylinder.
Bleeding the brake system
To bleed the system you will need an assistant. We ask him to press the brake pedal three or four times at intervals of two seconds, after which he must hold it.
1 - hose for bleeding
; 2 — vessel for brake fluid.
At this moment, you must release the bleeder nipple so that the liquid and air begin to come out. This is clearly visible in the transparent bottle. Now you need to tighten the fitting.
The procedure should be repeated until liquid begins to come out without air bubbles. Now you just need to check the fluid level and the tightness of the connections.
