Nissan Titan Parking Brake Replacement (2004-2015)

[@kyflyboy965]

Even when you already know how to do something, it’s nice to be able to see someone else do it before you get started. Thank you for a fine video with excellent detail and solid narrative! You gave me all I needed to jump right in and take care of replacing the shoes on my ‘06 Titan and I now have a parking brake that actually works! Thank you!

[@Spta97Vids]

I always feel more at ease working on my Armada when Aaron has a video on the job. Well done as usual! 👍

[@daveb8234]

I was just discussing the need to do this this with my neighbor yesterday while I was completing my front and rear differential fluid change on my 2005 Titan. I really appreciate the tips, suggestions and detailed explanations during your videos. Thank you so much for posting!

[@andrewmartina170]

very well put together and great explanation for those of us who haven't replaced parking brake shoes. thank you for the help!!!!!

[@scottiefc]

your titan guides are the best, thank you

[@primevalpursuits]

Always appreciate the awesome tutorials. The fart @4:45 was a nice touch, lol

[@mystuff8987]

Just thankful this isn’t smellavision, I heard that too

[@rmadajeff]

I noticed that too 😂

[@DucatiHyper]

Aaron Hines : You did a fantastic job making this video. Very well described every step.

[@cqsterling]

your videos are the best...I have a 2007 Titan, 230k. Always needs something, and your videos are great.

[@calebchiu747]

Just in time man! You're awesome. I smashed the shit out of my parking brake system when I slammed my rear wheel against a highway guardrail. Now I know how to replace it.

[@doncook3584]

Aaron very good video. My 14 Armada park brake has never held firm since I bought in 2018 and I was honestly surprised to learn was a shoe system but with your knowledge I will take care of. Haven’t worked on drums since jeeze probably 1988 34 years that’s crazy. Many thanks. Actually have a break tool for working with springs

[@Suspect002]

All of the parts minus one of the clips and half of the clamp fell off when I took the disc off. Would I be able to put the brake disc and caliper back on a drive to the store to replace the parts?

[@MechanicalMikesRoadsideRepair]

If the emergency brake shoes fell apart, and the hardware as well….remove all of those pieces, so nothing comes loose and falls inside the drum, you can put the drum back on with no parking brake ONLY if it’s like this where there’s a brake caliper with brake pads on the brake rotor. Rear brakes which are DRUM only, you’d have no back brakes and would blow the wheel cylinder out causing a loss of brake fluid.

[@andrewstokes7649]

Aaron Thanks for your videos. I replaced the emergency brakes today - all new parts including the rotors and disc brake pads. I used your video to get me through it. Videos, all videos, are edited and all the crap is cut out. My job went like clockwork until I had to put those larger springs in ..... man that was some work. That was definitely the hardest part to the whole job. Again thank you.

[@His_Story_is_Fashion]

Thanks! I replaced my rear brake pads and had my rotors turned to discover that my emergency brake doesn't work from all the rust. Definitely have to fix it.

[@johnrichardson6033]

You made that look absolutely easy. Been fitting my big spring for 30 freakin minutes. Still no luck.

[@timo5532]

okay, the ends of the shoes have different slots. Which way do the slots go, your hand blocks.

[@geoffmanfre3306]

Excellent tutorial!

[@Christian.jsf1]

HAS ANYONE HAD A WORKING PARKING BRAKE AFTER THIS INSTALL?!?? I have 2 titans. A 2004 and a 2005 both around 180k miles. I had a shop replace rear shoes on one, they couldn't get the parking brake to hold on a small hill, I tried to redo it, still won't hold. Then on my other Titan, I replaced shoes and rear rotors, no good either and won't hold on smallest hill!! WTF? Any ideas, I've done the burnishing procedure, when installing I made sure adjuster was as expanded as possible. Only thing I'm thinking is the cable needs to be replaced.. DOES NO ONE ELSE HAVE TGIS ISSUE!?

[@johnpetrie7615]

Cable may have slipped out of it's holder. It has the hook to hold it but if it comes undone you probably can't see it until you take the rotors off to get to it. Sorry I didn't see your comment until now hope you figured it out.

[@williamchristiana4472]

Thanks for showing me how to take it apart

[@BIGTONE-lc4vd]

Another excellent video

[@arsena7538]

Very well done, good sir. I learned a few things.

[@jeromec1711]

Hey Great video as always Thanks for all the helpful much needed advice someone REMOVED ALL the parking brake equipment for some reason and I am wondering if this is why my 4wd isn't working. Replaced front diff replaced both front bearing hub assembly new rotors pads all the way around. at a loss as why my SLIP and ABS lights are on I think this might be the culprit any direction would be appreciated.

[@chriscruz1106]

The best Titan video DIY on KZbin! Thank you. Will you do a radiator replacement video?

[@erickgutierrez90]

Hey boss, my small spring, the one by the adjuster side, keeps rubbing against the gear. Don't really know how to fix it. Tried bending the spring but not having any luck. Any advice?

[@KeystoneTexan]

Is this all the same for Nissan Armada 2013?

[@flyme-z7b]

I wanted to see how you spread your brake pads to get the caliper back on. Tips? Great video though. Thanks.

[@biancajackson4912]

Does the year of the armada matter?

[@FieldOffice92]

This was a better video imo. Thanks.

[@daviddery2688]

Thank you for this video 👍

[@curtishyman6920]

Hey Aaron, gotta question. I own '12 titan. I done everything in the video. When I set my parking brake it doesn't hold still. Is there another adjustment that I need to check? I adjustment the little cog wheel to expand the drum like the video said to but still won't hold.

[@danng4346]

short and sweet. Many thanks !!

[@LizardBikes]

Super and very explanatory videos!! Keep up the great work! Subscribed right away.

[@sonicvr4]

That fart @4:45. I had 7.1 headphones on my guy, thought I was right there

[@briandickson3726]

Lol, I was just going to post about that too! I think he thought the sound of the high pressure brake cleaner would mask the noise. 😆

[@ctp260]

Just wondering did you replace both sides or just the one side? Having the same exact problem.

[@robertm2172]

Miles on the truck? I haven’t had a problem with my Titan and she’s 10 years old and 92k on the clock but I don’t live in rusty state

[@kristopherhood]

Hey Aaron I have a quick question about an issue I'm having with my titan.

[@HorizonMain]

Keep up the titan vids !!

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Thanks! Got a bunch in the works!

[@calebchiu747]

So I followed your guide and installed the parking brake on my passenger side, and it took some finessing to get my rotor on, so I assumed it would have a nice tight grip, but when I depressed the parking brake pedal, I was able to still turn the wheel by hand. What did I possibly do wrong?

[@AaronHinesAuto]

You need to adjust the shoes out via the adjuster

[@phillipjacobson4457]

Can a stud be removed without pulling the axle shaft out?

[@dawylan1]

Yes I use washers and throw away lugs to pull them in

[@jeffsfleet]

Sure wish Dodge would have made it this easy on the Rams. I had to pull the axles in order to install the hold downs. Really think my next truck will be a Titan.

[@slowridescott]

That actuator and big spring are impossible to get back on for me.

[@BoyleHeights99]

Thank you.

[@trekfortruth2841]

Thanks Aaron, excellent work as usual. I recently began to have trouble using my reverse gear and several guys on the Titan forums mentioned a broken parking brake may be the culprit. Gonna pull my rotors and check it out. I am camped in the back country of AZ now and don't have access to parts at the moment. Any driveability issues if I remove the old parking brake components before driving to the parts store?

[@gutaroker90]

I have not had mine in for two years lol. No issues if you remove. I just bought a set though due to getting a 22 ft center console I was never worried with my 16ft but this thing weights 4x as much. Rather be safe than sorry!

[@trekfortruth2841]

@@gutaroker90 thx for the info. I pulled my rotors and everything looked OK as best I can tell...no broken parts or impingement on the drum. Still may replace the ebrakes this year though. Truck only has 85k on it so I can't believe it would have any significant transmission issues.

[@gutaroker90]

@@trekfortruth2841 you’re welcome when did the rear rotors and breaks my e brake came off as dust 😂 change all your fluids at regular intervals and do spill and fills she will last I’m at 165k, tow hard, and send it very often. No problems. One of Nissans best builds with Jatco for sure.

[@jimjones5077]

Thank you so much Aaron for these Titan vids. Is the parking brake only on one side? If so, which side? I need to adjust mine as it does not hold very well anymore. Thanks.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

No both rear wheels have a brake! Thank u

[@jimjones5077]

@@AaronHinesAuto Thank you sir. I really do appreciate that you take the time to do videos dedicated to the Nissan Titan. I am a subscriber and like each video. Much respect to you.

[@A314000]

Would this be the cause of my squeaking in the rear at speed?

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Yes, pull the rotor and check it out

[@A314000]

@@AaronHinesAuto thanks. I just bought a used 2014 Titan SL and I noticed the parking brake pedal goes all the way to the floor but doesn't keep the vehicle from rolling on a grade when in neutral. Gonna take a look at the parking shoes as soon as I get time. Thanks.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

That’s a sure sign that there’s something wrong with the parking brake shoes or hardware good luck!
