Replacing Lada Granta pads Can be done by any car enthusiast. At the front, the Lada Granta has disc brakes with a floating caliper. As practice shows, the front pads wear out about twice as fast as the rear ones, but they are also easier to replace. There is a drum mechanism at the back of the Lada Granta. Replacing the rear pads is more difficult; in addition to the usual set of tools, you will need a pit or overpass. After all, you will need to get under the bottom and loosen the handbrake cable, without which you simply won’t be able to remove the drums. How to check brake pad wear can be found on the website dexpens.com, where you will find detailed instructions on this matter.

What you need to know about Granta Sport pads
In the Sport modification, all four calipers are disc type. Friction linings are metallic and semi-metallic. Ceramic and organic friction linings are not installed on the Lada model. The difference between the last two types is the presence of ceramic and Kevlar fiber.
There is no need to mention the advantages of organics and ceramics, since everyone knows that they are developed using the most modern technologies and provide maximum braking effect. The exorbitant cost is a significant drawback, which for many becomes a stumbling block.
Grant brake pad life
The manufacturer in the operating manual indicates a replacement interval of 30,000 km. Taking into account the conditions of use of the machine, the quality of spare parts, and climatic temperatures, we reduce the period for replacing brake pads on Grant by a third.
To maintain the brake system in good condition, it is enough to carry out maintenance every 15,000 km. If defects or damage are found, replace with new elements.
How to choose and which ones are better to buy brake pads for Granta
The supply of brake system elements for Grant is carried out by. Specialization: trucks and cars. Since the end of 2012, JSC TIIR has been supplying front overlays made of composite material (1118-3501090). The peculiarity of the components is the absence of anti-creaking plates in the design. A special mastic is applied to the back side to suppress noise, vibrations, and squeaks.
The technology showed a number of shortcomings and in 2013 TIIR supplied new pads under the index (2192-3501090-10). They are also made of composite material under the number TIIR-299. Anti-squeak plates “Nulok” for Lada Granta are installed on the outside. The rear circuit is equipped with disc-type pads (21920-3502090-10). Components are also supplied by JSC TIIR. The number of the composite material TIIR is 444.

Diagnostics of friction lining wear level
Most modern cars are equipped with special digital wear sensors. When the programmed level is reached, an indicator light is activated on the central instrument panel, indicating a breakdown of the brake circuit.
Unfortunately, the Lada is not yet equipped with digital sensors; you need to navigate by the actual thickness of the body of the lining. The maximum permissible threshold for using the body is 1.5 mm. Above the specified limit, the operation of the technical device is not safe. The degree of wear can be determined by removing each wheel and measuring the thickness with a caliper.
Alternative option: turn the steering wheel to the extreme left/right position, visually assess the thickness without resorting to dismantling work. The above recommendation only applies to the front circuit. For rear wheels, unconditional removal of discs.

Front and rear replacement brake pads for Granta Lada
The front and rear brake pads can be operated to a thickness of more than 1.5mm, which is a smaller value (a value of more than 1.5mm is the same as the front and rear pads). With the lowest Granta Lada , it is likely that the rubber o-rings installed on the pistons come out of the sealing field located in the cylinder cavity in the brake mechanism. Relieving pressure in the seal will cause brake water to leak into the external environment and lead to breakdown and ineffective operation of the vehicle's brakes.
To ensure that old pads are replaced with new ones, replace them with 1.5mm wear. It is enough to replace 5.7 mm. The fact is that during prolonged operation in the extreme position of the piston, the previously working sealing surfaces may become clogged with deposits, which will not allow the piston to return to its original working position in the brake cylinder to a position corresponding to the thickness. from new brake pads.
Typical causes of wear on brake system components
- Long-term operation without intermediate prevention;
- Mechanical damage to the caliper or steering knuckle, resulting in deformation of the lining;
- Deformation, and as a result, creaking of brake pads on Grant;
- Purchase and subsequent installation of low quality parts;
- Violation of installation technology;
- Aggressive driving style of a vehicle;
- Insufficient amount of fluid in the expansion tank of the master cylinder;
- Damage to the supply line DOT – 4;
- Working cylinder jammed.
Conclusion
Despite all the recommendations of manufacturers or familiar car enthusiasts, deck wear is an individual matter. After all, this factor is influenced by certain qualities that differ for each driver. The level of wear of brake discs, their technical condition, the driver's driving style and much more lead to the fact that the frequency of replacement is different for everyone and does not always coincide with the manufacturer's terms. Therefore, learn to understand your braking system, because in reality it is not that difficult. Plus, carry out periodic diagnostics for the appearance of various cracks or other mechanical damage to both the disc and the pad and you will be happy! With this in mind, be careful and don’t take things to extremes. See you!

Do-it-yourself valve adjustment on the Lada Grant. Expert advice
After replacing the front pads, check the level in the tank. It is located in the engine compartment. We carry out a similar procedure with the second wheel. Service center technicians recommend replacing the circuits at the same time. For example: front / rear, all four calipers. Subsequent replacement after 30,000 km.
Rear So, to change the rear brake pads on a Grant, do the following:
- fix the front wheels, do not release the parking brake;
- jack up the rear side, remove the wheel;
- tapping the rim evenly with a hammer to knock it off its seat;
- remove the pressure plate, spacer bar;
- unpin the base of the fixation, the ear of the handbrake cable;
- remove the old ones and install new friction linings;
- The mechanism is pinned in the reverse order.
Be sure to check the fluid level in the expansion tank and replenish the missing amount.
Memo
- We replace the pads only as a set;
- When replacing, secure the vehicle with anti-rollbacks;
- For replacement, we select only suitable analogues;
- After completing the work, monitor the brake fluid level. If necessary, top up.

Replacing the Lada Granta generator bracket
Conclusion Replacing Grant brake pads with your own hands is not at all difficult; every car owner can do it. 15 minutes of time is enough and the functionality of the node is restored. A moderate driving style, original spare parts, DOT - 4 class fluid will increase the service life of the Lada Granta brake system by 10 - 15%. Which brake pads to put on the Grant - obviously original, factory ones.
Rear pad service life
The braking system is designed in such a way that most of the load during braking is transferred to the front of the car - to the front pads. Based on this, the rear brake pads last a very long time. No specialist from a car dealership can tell you exactly how long a rear brake pad will last, but all because the following factors have a huge impact on its service life:
- driving style - a fast way of driving, where the driver constantly accelerates and brakes, will accelerate the wear of the pads;
- brake drum quality;
- other circumstances - for example, products that are used to sprinkle the road surface in winter have a destructive effect on friction linings.
If the operating conditions are favorable, then the rear block of the Lada Grant can last up to 60,000 km. However, when replacing a pad, you should focus on the condition of the lining, and not the total mileage of the car after installing the new pad. Pay attention to the thickness of the overlay. If it has worn down to 1.5 mm or has become even thinner or, much worse, has begun to peel off from the metal or chips and cracks have appeared, you need to urgently replace the rear pad of the Lada Grant to avoid unpleasant consequences.
When the lining has worn off and become smaller than 0.15 cm, the piston may leave the cylinder, resulting in brake fluid leakage and brake pad breakage.
