Disc brakes
No adjustments required.
Drum brakes
Adjustment of drum brakes is only required when replacing the pads or when the pad adjusters are faulty.
1. To adjust the clearance between the pads and drums, remove the drums.
2. Loosen the brake shoe adjuster sprocket until the outer diameter of the shoes becomes 253.0–253.5 mm.
3. Put on the drums and press the brake pedal and the handbrake lever several times – you should feel approximately the same "rigidity" of the lever and pedal.
Brake pedal
1. Rod; 2. Rod lock nut; 3. Switch lock nut; 4. Brake light switch
Adjusting the pedal height by rotating the rod
1. Down; 2. Up; 3. Lock nut
1. Check the distance from the pedal to the floor of the car body (remove the rug), which should be 191–196 mm (1983–91) or 186–191 mm (1992–98).

2. Adjust the pedal height by turning the rod with the rod and switch locknuts loosened.
3. Tighten the rod lock nut, then set the gap between the end of the switch and the pedal to 0.5-1.0 mm and tighten the switch lock nut.
4. Check the pedal free play by pressing the pedal several times with the engine stopped and measuring the travel until you feel a slight resistance, which should be 3–8 mm.
5. If the stroke is less than specified, check the switch adjustment; if it is more, check the wear of the pedal axle and lever.
6. Start the engine, press the pedal with a force of 50 kgf and measure the distance from the pedal to the floor, which should be 95 mm (1983-91) or 100 mm (1992-98).
7. If this distance is greater than the specified one, the reasons are air ingress, fluid leakage or brake pad adjuster failure.
