Great instructional video. Complete without any added commentary. Great job. Kudos.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊

[@mchap4953]

For a 2015 Murano the actual caliper slider bolt size is 17mm (not 18mm) and 22mm for the assembly (which you had correct). Thanks for the video, it helped a lot!

[@gnomesagn4906]

Followed this for my 2019 Murano just today, and it went pretty smooth for something I've never done before, so thanks for the how-to.

[@HowToWithLech]

Awesome to hear. 👊👍

[@stephenjones1445]

Used this to change the brakes on our 2017 Murano. Thanks so much for this fantastic video!!!😄👍

[@HowToWithLech]

happy to help. thanks for sharing

[@mgweir3252]

I have to do front and rear brakes on our 2017 Murano. Good, detailed video. It's nice having the torque specs.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊👍

[@richcohen8341]

Clips on top! That's what I was looking for! Thank you! The last guy and a few other videos just jammed the pads in without tucking that clip in.

[@HowToWithLech]

Glad to help 👊

[@serghe2648]

Nice job. Good detailed instruction. And looking good as a final.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊

[@mbertos]

Very through and concise. Good mechanic and explains things well.

Great video!! Getting ready to change my wife's 2015 Murano brakes here soon. Thanks

[@HowToWithLech]

Have fun 👊👍

[@newbluerugby]

So the front caliper uses 18mm & 22mm bolts? The rear caliper uses 14mm & 19mm bolts.

[@HowToWithLech]

Yes, whatever i mentioned in the video 👍

[@danielpost9919]

Awesome video!

[@williampratt8116]

Good video. Saves me from guessing what tools and sizes I need to do this job. Now with all of the grease that you used you did not put any on the bolt threads.

[@HowToWithLech]

Nice 👍.The guide pins were grease up. Just remember to check them if it’s needed.

[@christophermosier3754]

Good job man

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👍👊

[@arcan9ine]

How many Husbands here because they told their wife they know how to change the breaks 🤣🤣

[@HowToWithLech]

😆👍

[@ferndog1461]

Right after she told you what the mechanic is charging for front & rear brakes. . .

[@HowToWithLech]

@@ferndog1461 haha. yes 100%

[@tombirk611]

Good job. Thanks. But you made one mistake. Your rotors have a left and right. The cooling vent holes are supposed to rotate out as the car goes forward not in.

[@HowToWithLech]

Yeah. Sometimes they are marked. Have to watch up for that. Thanks for pointing out 👊

[@ianbrouwer3937]

Hey, great video and very helpful. Biggest thing which is unclear to me is where to place the jack and jack stands. Between the notches there’s only room for the jack. Where did you place the stands?

[@HowToWithLech]

Stand is a backup. So no designated spot. I put it against that metal rail close to the jack usually .

[@kronomarine]

Great video! Thanks! Doing my 2016 Murano Platinum today.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👍. Have fun.

[@ronmatthews853]

Excellent video, most helpful!

[@DanTheManIOM]

well done ! I like how Nissan has just two retainers for the pads, my camry has 4, chrysler minivan has 4. Anyway...did the drilled and slotter show any improvement over a "stock" rotor ? Would carbon fiber pads offer any advantage over ceramic ? Don't want to waste money, and more importantly don't want to waste time with cheap or inferior parts either and doing the job twice.

[@HowToWithLech]

Unless you looking for more serious performance there is no for the slotted etc. I usually keep it regular on my cars. Works just fine. Save the $$

[@JackFrost-cj2cw]

Just installed drilled slotted rotors. No difference in performance to regular rotors for normal driving. Costs 30% more. However if you are doing lots of mountain driving with long down runs, the drilled rotors may be a tiny bit better to help with the excessive heat from lots of braking. You will get better stopping power using pads with higher friction rating. OEM pads are usually FF rating (stamped with other numbers on the pad) FG rating is a higher friction rating than FF.

[@DanTheManIOM]

@@JackFrost-cj2cw thanks for the info. I drove my friends car and to me, to me, the brakes are better but I still sense "a hardness" or warpage or grinding, I'll take better notes, but to me, something still is not right. You know, I want to nail the brakes and have it put you through the windshield, in a straight line, with smoothness, over and over again. I bought Wagner, not MIngs Discount. My friend is happy and it passed inspection. Maybe I am just obsessive ?

[@jonghyeonkim6281]

This is my next project on my Murano. without these details, I would take it to dealer and spend another head-scratching money.

[@HowToWithLech]

Yup exactly. You got this 👊

[@artsoto5459]

What car jack are using, and where are you lifting it up from? Thanks, great video

[@HowToWithLech]

Standard jack. Nothing special. Same spot as where yiu put car jack

[@hotwire106]

Thank you

[@HowToWithLech]

U got it

[@jshuck1978]

Great video, but most likely that rotor should have been placed on passenger side. The slots should point to the back of the vehicle when it is in the 12 o'clock position. I believe yours are the opposite.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks for sharing. 👊

[@JackFrost-cj2cw]

The slots are in the correct rotation direction. The correct position is with slots pointing forward to the vehicle when upright. The right and left are also stamped on the edge of the rotor as WR or WL. IF the ventilation vanes are curved then the vanes should be pointing backwards to the direction of the forward spinning wheel.

[@jshuck1978]

@@JackFrost-cj2cw For rotors with slots machined in the same direction as the internal cooling vanes, the slots should lean toward the back of the car. For rotors with slots machined in the opposite direction as the internal cooling vanes, the slots should lean toward the front of the car.

[@johnsavage7076]

Hi, Lech. Great video! Thanks for sharing. Do you remember what kind of rotors these were? Looking to replace OEM but can't find vented rotors like the ones shown in your video. Thanks!

[@HowToWithLech]

My buddy picked them up on Amazon. It’s not oem. Aftermarket. Just find what matches the car and you’ll be good

[@JM-mb6te]

Have a set of Powerstop K6497 on order for mine (2018) to change out. Take a look at those…

[@johnsavage7076]

Thanks, JM. I ordered the Powerstop Z23 front and rear for my 2016. Not sure what the K number was. Maybe an issue with Nissan front brakes? I was lucky to find anything in stock! All other options were out of stock or no longer available. Had the dealership change brakes and rotors at 62k due to warping and vibration when braking. Same thing again now at 99k! That’s why I was looking for something vented. We’ll see. The Powerstops are highly rated. Good luck with your ‘17!

[@HowToWithLech]

@@johnsavage7076 honestly vented or not should not be an issue. but quality will depend how long they last and how good perform. just make sure to bed the breaks. break them in when replaced. vented is really for performance etc. make sure to check that pins not seized up etc, so its all breaking even and so on. best of luck.

[@JackFrost-cj2cw]

@@johnsavage7076 Driving into a car wash when your brakes are hot from driving on the highway or in traffic is the biggest cause of warped rotors. I usually go to a car wash near my home and only after I let the brakes cool to the touch - about 20 mins after parking (and eating a snack or dinner!). Vented rotors will also warp if using the car wash often when brakes are hot. Having said that, Nissan Murano and Maxima are prone to rotor problems of warping. So use a good aftermarket brand and not the OEM rotors.

[@newbluerugby]

How were you able to rotate the wheel with the car off!? I’ve done dozens of brake jobs - I watched this video for socket sizes & torque specs - thanks. Anyway, I saw u turn the wheel, I never do that but decided to this time just cuz I saw you do it - but I had to turn my car on to turn the wheel. Big mistake! The suspension dropped & I was in for a 1hr struggle to get the suspension up & the wheel on in that tight space & without damaging anything. Doesn’t feel like I need an alignment…

[@HowToWithLech]

I have it jacked up and stand for safety. Also brick on back wheel to avid rolling. No issue. It good point. Can happen.

[@newbluerugby]

@@HowToWithLech my car did not drop, I had trolly jack & safety stand just like you. My question is how did you turn your wheel without turning your car on? I had to turn my car on to turn the wheel. When I turned it on it engaged the suspension & the control arm nearly hit the floor. I couldn’t jack the car up high enough to fit the wheel back on. I had to put a scissor jack on the arm to jack it up. Just wondering how u were able to turn wheel w car off

[@HowToWithLech]

@@newbluerugby oh. got it. you need the key in there and turn to acc / or on only. but dont turn on car. that prevents steering wheel from locking when car is off. how tha thelps.

[@juanpascual5577]

I had the rear pads changed recently by an auto parts and I noticed today that the Murano Advance Driver display is no longer showing the warning/notice in the display that the foot break is still on when the car is put on drive “D”. Anyone knows what might be wrong?

[@HowToWithLech]

Sorry not sure about that one. Maybe shop reset something

[@alexgonzales6222]

Its will be my first time changing my brake padcand rotos wich one u recommend

[@HowToWithLech]

Honestly stuff from eBay is solid. It’s what I used. Don’t have to spend a lot. Or get from local auto store but that will cost a little more.

[@IlistentotheRadioRadioStereo]

How much Nissan or an independent mecanic shop quoted you for the entire 4 breakpads and rotors?

[@HowToWithLech]

Dealer will be around 1k. Regular mechanic 500-600 on average.

[@IlistentotheRadioRadioStereo]

@@HowToWithLech Oh man..I didn't want to do it but I will. I got all the tools to do it I just didn't want to do it. BTW are you having problems with the front bumper trying to detach itself from the fender?

[@JackFrost-cj2cw]

screw driver damaged the brake rotor and bit off piece of pad in case you decided the pad was good enough to last another 20,000 km for instance! Pull the whole caliper towards you to compress the pistons and release the caliper. Otherwise good video!

[@cassanix9093]

How many miles did you have your Murano when you changed the brakes and rotors?

[@HowToWithLech]

It was my buddy’s. Not sure. It if was definitely time to change them. On average 25 to 50k miles you change. Depends on driving styles. But if yiu hear constant squeaking that was never there before that could be a sign. Grinding noise or vibration , taking longer to stop is all signs. If pads are under 4mm time to start thinking to change.

[@ferndog1461]

PSA:. Find an old yoga mat at any Goodwill. Find a Flat TV cardboard box. Now put those underneath you as you work. Your joints will be grateful.

[@HowToWithLech]

Lol. Yeah have one too. No worries.

[@gdelgado-ol2xr]

[@HowToWithLech]

[@AZshootist]

That is WAY too much grease. Debris and dust collects in the grease. Also, globs of grease could make their way to the friction side. Otherwise, good.
