How to Change Infiniti G35/G37 Brakes (Pads & Rotors) | Extra Quite

[@amaterasu0929]

This is not the same as g37S it's a different process because to not unlosen the caliper bolts because you will leak the fluid an potentially break the seals, but if you have a none sport model this video is correct 👍

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thanks.

[@drew4931]

What does this even mean? How do I not loosen the caliper bolts? Can someone PLEASE explain

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

​@@drew4931, the caliper is 2 piece most likely and has 4 bolts on it. Only 2 get removed on the caliper and then the 2 larger bracket bolts get removed. I made the mistake today of starting to remove 1 of the 2 bolts that seperate the caliper on half on a Mercedes C300 and fluid leaked out. Finished the job and added brake fluid. Went for a drive and the pedal was soft. Came back and bled that single caliper and then it was fine 😂😂😂

[@kents2508]

Sir, you are clearly a professional who has done this many times! Very helpful video - now I can't wait to get started!

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thanks haha. Have fun and God bless you.

[@AJ-ec5dg]

Bro, not putting lube in the backside of the pad till you re-install the caliper is brilliant. Thank you!

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

It absolutley is. 👍 Thanks for watching

[@nateg5915]

Great video. This is the first how to brake video ive watched. I looked it up after a $1000+ bill on all 4 brakes of my 07 G35. Parts are probably less than $350. I dont know much about cars but im very handy on fixing things. I didnt get understand all the instructions yet but after im done watching this several more times and maybe some other videos I'm sure I should be able to do this in my garage lol

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

That is one big bill. 🤑 Did they just do all rotors and pads and nothing more? I'm wondering if there maybe was some stuck sliding pins, or maybe they had to replace a caliper 🤷‍♂️ 1000$ plus seems a bit high

[@nateg5915]

@@AutoTechWorld_DIY all four rotors and pads plus the 2 rear calipers. I guess the calipers were damaged because they were rubbing metal to metal. I guess!

You're welcome. Thank you for the kind words.

[@justhere4721]

I know I'm a couple years late, but the pads and clips were installed wrong. The hardware with the rabbit ear looking clips(spring clips) go on the top. And on the brake pads, the loop that sticks out goes on the top. Those rabbit ear clips goes into the loops on the pads.

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Hey thanks for watching and thinking along. If you look closely at 4:34 you can see that the longer clips are installed at the top. If that is what you are referring to? As far as the pads go, I guess I did put the loop on the bottom. I did that because that's how they came out, as you can see at 1:48. Maybe you can explain why you think the loop has to be on the top? Does squeal louder you think?

[@justhere4721]

@@AutoTechWorld_DIY The spring clips goes into those loops. They help push the brake pads away from the rotors when you're not braking. It helps reduce wear and noise. They are also a pad wear indicator. When the pad wears down enough, the metal tab touches the rotors causing a screech.

[@nateg5915]

This maybe a stupid question as i dont know much about card but how do you know how to torque the bolts? Does the rachet tell you the exact measurements?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

You need a special "torque wrench". If you look in the video description, I usually have all the tools and parts that one needs with a link.

[@GrantBatterson]

How do i push the pistons back without that press tool?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

You could use a big plier. The tool is also on sale right now on amazon. amzn.to/2VfdKHF

[@g37x5]

Any links for the rear break pads? Thank you!

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thanks for watching. For a g37x without sport package, you'll need these: amzn.to/3CrpJcB For a g37x with sport package, you'll need these: amzn.to/3w9XIoX If you are also changing rotors and park brake shoes, here's what you'll need: Park brake shoes: amzn.to/3vTQ5Tp Rear brake rotor without sport package (330mm diameter): amzn.to/3hVyAda Rear brake rotor with sport package (350mm diameter): amzn.to/3pOldj1 Hopefully this helps

Your welcome. God is good 👌

[@videomaniac108]

Will putting the grease on the threaded portion of the slide pins change the installation torque of the bolts? Would I be well advised to reduce the tightening torque by about 30% to compensate for the fact that there will be much less friction in the threads?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

No. I'd think you'll be fine.

[@franktalksprogramming]

Good video man

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thanks. I really appreciate it. God bless.

[@Lazer5051]

could you just remove the bottom bolt and hinge the caliper upwards?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

You may be good. But that way you won't be able to lube both caliper slide pins.

[@Lazer5051]

i think this was an option to letting caliper hang by the hose. it would be removed to grease

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

No don't let it hang on the hose. That might damage the hose

[@robbieprince5447]

With the rear brakes. Instead off taking both caliper pins out, can you just take the top pin out and leave the bottom one in?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

I'm not sure. But why wouldn't you take it out, clean and lubricate it anyways, since you have it all apart anyways?

[@spin_tires_on_pavement-s.t5760]

A lot better than mills garage 😂

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thanks 😉

[@jonathanford9482]

Will these rotors fit on my 2007 g35s sedan?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

If the diameter of your front rotor is 320mm or you have a dual piston caliper in the front, the rotors and pads that i have linked in the description will fit. But if you have a single piston caliper, or the diameter is off the front rotor is 330mm, you'll need these rotors: amzn.to/3bjyPLt And these pads: amzn.to/37f9DUX Hope this makes sense. If not feel free to ask.

[@cryosapion]

Is this the same car as the Nissan v36? I really enjoyed the video feel more confident in doing brakes myself.

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

I'm not sure. But it is same idea I would say. Good luck and God bless you.

[@dirtdiver17]

is this the same on a q40 2015

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Yes pretty much so. The bracket to knuckle is 91 ft lbs and the caliper to bracket is 20 ft lbs These specs are for a 2015 Infiniti Q40.

[@omarmariscal619]

Had to stop cause I could t push the piston back in the caliper

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Looks like you'll have to get a new caliper. That's too bad

[@jonathan-bk4gb]

no bleed?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Great concern. I've never bleed the brakes when doing the pads unless there was air in the system. I never pulled the bleeder screw that any air could enter the system. This way I'm just pushing the fluid back in the resovoir. If this makes sense?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

That is very right. Otherwise you will not have enough pressure in the system to make the brakes work on the first press. And if you put it in gear and the breaks don't work right away, that could be dangerous. Makes sense?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Is your battery light on in the dash? Check fuse 32 in the fuse block next to the battery, the block that has the horn relay in it. If this fuse is blown, the alternator will not know it is charging and will turn the battery light on and might overcharge. That is one thing you could check. Let me know what you figured out?

[@Riot_Z32]

Great video! Very informative!!!

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Thank you very much for your feedback 👍

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

What is the torque spec for calipers and sliding pins for the rear?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

The caliper to bracket is 32 ft-lbs and the bracket to knuckle is 62 ft-lbs. That helps?

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

So 62 for calipers and 32 for sliding pins ..👍

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

@@alanchanthavisouk8557 Also don't forget to subscribe 😉

[@dirtdiver17]

respectively means in that order... 14mm for the caliber and then 19mm for the caliber bracket

[@dirtdiver17]

So, are those the correct mm sockets for the caliber and caliber brackets

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Yes that is right. 14mm for the caliper to bracket and 19mm for the bracket to caliper. But install the bracket first, then the caliper. It will be a lot easier. Doesn't matter which one you torque first though. Just make sure you torque them all down.

[@dirtdiver17]

@@AutoTechWorld_DIY Thanks. One last question are the lug nuts 22 mm.. can I use either 1/2 or 3/8 torque wrench for the brakes and tire removal or does it matter. Do you know the torque spec for the rims?

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

I'm not sure for the size of the lug nuts where. This customer had aftermarket wheels with aftermarket lug nuts, so I'm sure they'll be different. But you'd want to torque the rims on your Q40 to 80 ft lbs

[@dirtdiver17]

@@AutoTechWorld_DIY excellent. can i use either 1/2 torque or 3/8 for the full job or do I need both. Thanks.

[@LadiesMan.217.]

Are these torque specs for a q50 also? I can’t find it anywhere on the web.

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Your torque specs for your Infiniti Q50 are most likely to be: Front caliper to bracket - 25 ft lbs Front bracket to knuckle - 91 ft lbs Rear caliper to bracket - 32 ft lbs Rear bracket to caliper - 62 ft lbs

I've just changed my pads and front calipers. My front driver side is sticking like the brake is stuck. I noticed you have the clips for the pads facing the bottom. Is that the proper way for them to go? I have them facing up.

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

Yes, I don't even know how would put them on otherwise. But you want to put them on just like you see in the video. Unless your brakes are different.

[@CSolomonEllis]

AutoTechWorld Well I was going off some other videos....some show how you’re doing it and other show with the tabs the opposite way. I’m hoping that’s what’s causing my rotor to stick since both calipers are new
