A necessary manipulation for drivers of cars of the same name is adjusting the hand brake on the Gazelle,

– is a fairly simple, but extremely responsible job. Safety largely depends on how professionally the process is carried out (everyone knows that in an extreme situation the handbrake is the only means of emergency stopping).

Adjusting the handbrake on the Gazelle consists of several stages, which will be described below

. Anyone can do the job without resorting to the services of a car service. The main thing is accuracy, accuracy and scrupulous adherence to instructions.

When does adjustment become necessary?

Indications for adjustment are: lever travel of 20 teeth or more (determined by the corresponding number of clicks); repair or replacement of elements related to the brake mechanism.

The presence of any of these circumstances indicates the need for adjustment. The goal is to move the lever no more than 15 clicks

– this value is optimal for all modifications of the Gazelle.

Adjustment

• All manipulations are performed in the position when the handbrake is “off”
  (the lever is fixed in the lowest position). To access the brake mechanism, remove the plastic plugs located on the brake shield. It is enough to pry them off with a screwdriver;
• Then the eccentric nut is loosened
  (no more than 2 turns). Further actions consist of moving the brake pads apart - to a position at which the drum is braked, after which the bolt is turned in the opposite direction, as a result of which the brake pads move in the opposite direction. The movement is carried out until the drum begins to rotate;
• The process is monitored through inspection windows located in the lower part of the brake shield;
• At the end of the operation, the eccentric nut is tightened with reasonable force. It is important to prevent the eccentric from turning;
• The brake mechanism is adjusted in a similar way on the other side of the car, after which the plastic plugs are installed in place.

Next stage:

installing the leveler in a position “perpendicular” to the axis of the car. To do this, it is necessary to loosen the fastening nuts; they move along the thread until the desired position of the equalizer is reached. The position is fixed using locknuts.

Then:

The handbrake is set to the “one click” position. By rotating the rear end nut (sheath of the central cable), the cable moves to the forward position until the free wheel movement is slowed down. Having tightened – with moderate force – the fixing nuts, turn off the parking brake.

Adjusting the parking brake yourself

Before adjusting the handbrake on the Gazelle, lift the rear of the car and place it on supports. After this, remove the wheels to gain access to the brake mechanism. And you should also know that adjustment procedures are carried out with the lever set to the non-working position (lowered all the way).

Monitor the cable tension - this is important for your safety

To work, you will need a 17" wrench, two 22" wrenches, a "9" tubular wrench and a flat blade screwdriver. Having prepared the necessary set of tools, proceed to adjust the hand brake in accordance with the following list of actions:

1. So, first you need to get to the brake mechanism - to do this, use a screwdriver and remove the upper and lower plastic plugs on the brake shield.
2. Next, using a key set to “17”, loosen the eccentric nut two turns (no more) and, sliding the pads, unlock the brake drum. To do this, use a tubular wrench to rotate the eccentric bolt in the opposite direction. If the pads lightly touch the drum, this is acceptable. You can control the entire process through special inspection windows, which are located at the bottom of the brake mechanism flap.
3. After this, the eccentric nut must be tightened to a torque of 2.4–3.5 kgf/m. If you do not have a torque wrench on hand, tighten by hand with a reasonable amount of force. In this case, rotation of the eccentric itself is unacceptable.
4. At this point, the first stage of adjusting the handbrake on the Gazelle car is completed, so install the plugs in place and do the same on the second wheel.

Now it is necessary to install the cable equalizer in a perpendicular position relative to the axis of the vehicle. This is achieved by loosening the cable fastening nuts. By moving the nuts along the threads, you will install the equalizer in the desired position, while eliminating the play between it and the cable tips. After this, the locknuts must be tightened.

With the completion of the described procedure, the process of adjusting the parking brake is not yet completed, since it is necessary to adjust the tension of the central cable. To begin, lift the handbrake lever one click and, by rotating the adjusting nut at the point where the rear end of the cable is attached to the equalizer (after releasing the lock nut), tighten the tension until the wheels begin to slow down slightly. After this, lower the handbrake lever all the way down and turn each rear wheel by hand. A properly adjusted handbrake should not interfere with rotation. In addition, when setting the vehicle to the parking brake, the lever travel should be 15 clicks of the ratchet mechanism.

From this guide you learned how to tighten the handbrake on a Gazelle without outside help. But sometimes, after a correctly performed adjustment, it is not possible to obtain the expected result due to critical wear or stretching of the cables. In this case, the handbrake cable will have to be replaced, which will be discussed below.

Then:

The handbrake is set to the one-click position. By rotating the rear nut (cable sheath), the rope is moved to the forward position. until the freewheel brakes are applied. Tighten. with moderate strength. nuts, release the parking brake.

An indicator of efficiency will be the free rotation of the rear wheels.

In addition, the “activation” of the handbrake is characterized by a maximum movement of the lever of 15 clicks. In this case, you can safely say: the setup was done correctly, the desired result is achieved.

The above gives some idea of ​​what steps you need to take to set it up correctly.

The description provided is not exhaustive. There are other ways to achieve a similar result, but experts strongly recommend using the above option

As already mentioned, adjusting the hand brake on the Gazelle. A relatively simple process, but it must be done with great care, avoiding the slightest inaccuracies, because success ultimately determines the safety of the driver and passengers. And security, as you know, does not tolerate the slightest negligence.

Travel safety largely depends on how well all the mechanisms and systems of the Gazelle work. Of course, the highest quality and professional repairs are carried out at service stations. Moreover, it is important that original spare parts produced at the factory are used. A wide range of parts and components for the entire GAZ model range is sold by the Alfa-Auto online store.

How to separate the brake pads on a Gazelle

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Place the car on a flat, horizontal platform (ideally on a viewing hole or a lift).
2. Place wheel chocks under the front wheels.
3. Place the gear lever in the “neutral” position, the handbrake is lowered, and hang out the adjustable wheel.
4. Remove the two rubber plugs from the inside of it. Bottom - for visual monitoring of the gap between the pads and the drum, as well as their condition. The top one hides the locked eccentric.
5. Using a 17mm socket wrench or a sufficiently curved socket wrench, loosen the locknut. Then use a 9 mm socket wrench to rotate the eccentric, visually checking the gap between the pads and the drum. Achieve the “golden mean” when the gap is minimal, but the wheel rotates easily.
6. Tighten the locknut, check again for easy rotation, and replace the plugs. The job is half done.

Adjusting the hand brake on the Gazelle

But there are times when professional repairs are not available, and you need to do the work yourself, so you need to know how to adjust the handbrake on a Gazelle. This operation is needed in the following cases:

1. The lever moves more than 15 teeth (this can be determined by characteristic clicks).

2. Breakage of elements of brake mechanism parts.

Adjusting the hand brake on a gazelle is carried out in several stages.

• The handbrake lever must be fixed in the maximum position at the bottom.
• To be able to repair the brake mechanism, you need to remove the plugs (this can be done with a screwdriver).
• Then you need to loosen the eccentric nut 2 clicks.
• After this, the brake pads are moved apart until the drum is braked. Then the bolt must be turned in the opposite direction so that the brake pads move against the rotation of the drum.
• You can monitor the entire process through the inspection windows located at the bottom of the brake shield.
• After this, you need to tighten the eccentric nut, the main thing is not to turn the eccentric. This is how the handbrake is adjusted from the other side of the car.
• At the end, the plastic plugs are returned to their place. Now the equalizer is installed at an angle of 90 relative to the axis of the machine, for which you need to loosen the fastening nuts. Then secure it with locknuts.
• After this, the handbrake on the Gazelle must be set to the “1 click” position. By turning the rear end nut, the cable is shifted until the wheel free wheeling is slowed down. Then the fixing nuts are tightened and the handbrake is turned off.

How many “clicks” should you pull the brake lever on a Gazelle?

For optimal wheel fixation, for the new GAZ 3302, 13-15 clicks of the handbrake ratchet mechanism are enough so as not to fear for the immobility of the abandoned car. If after some time it becomes noticeable that the handle has to be raised above the level of the driver’s seat, and 20 or more clicks are needed, then the “handbrake” requires urgent adjustment.
