Great videos, lots of detailed explanations and, overall very thorough. I'm very handy but usually leave brake jobs to real mechanics... but I was recently told that brakes (Front and Rear with new Rotors and Pads) for my 2017 Pathfinder would be around $1100.00 dollars. Now, after watching your video, I will save about $800 and put that toward new tires instead. This is a simply a sincere thank you, Cliff

Quick question, if you have time. I was wondering about the Calipers you have. Are they made by Nissan? My 2017 Pathfinder is Red and I wonder if they are available in Red? I worry the Gold color of yours might clash with my Red Pathfinder. I understand if you are busy, and maybe this is a bit too much to ask... I have seen them by 1AAuto and by Power Stop... but I'm no sure of the quality. Thank you 🙂

Great video, I am about to do my brakes for the first time on a 2020 pathfinder. I did notice though that you referenced the Newton meter for the torque specs. General Information page 5, lists white wrench as N.m (kg-m, ft-lb), black wrench N.m (kg-m, in-lb). Front bolts white wrench for all bolts, 17mm bolts 45.6 N.m (4.7 kg-m, 34 ft-lb), 22mm bolts there are two styles, bolt with flange 123 N.m (13 kg-m, 91 ft-lb), 22mm bolt with washers 144.5 N.m (15kg-m, 107 ft-lb). Rear white wrench for all bolts, 14mm bolts 43.15 N.m (4.4 kg-m, 32 ft-lb), 19mm bolts 84.3 N.m (8.6 kg-m, 62 ft-lb).

Don't put grease on the pad ends or on the calliper, it can't take the heat and will just run off. Put a little anti-seize on the backs of the pads only, to stop vibration.

This is easily the best video on this. I’ve watched probably the top 20 videos on this search term and I found yours to be the most helpful.

Other videos showed them Cleaning those out too…is that necessary?
@dial2fast8 ай бұрын
You can just wipe off the old grease on the slide pin and then put some Sil-Glyde lube on the pin, and reassemble. This will help to make sure the caliper can slide back and forth freely.

Pull the jack out so you don't trip over it. If the reservoir is full, suck some out with a turkey baster. Don't let it spill over. If you are using gear wrenches like this guy, don't use them to break bolts loose. You will ruin them. Never hammer rotors on the outer disc. You will warp them. Instead hammer the flat area around the studs. The orientation of the squealer tab on the pad was also not mentioned. It goes on the inside pad and face the bottom.

Great Video - I have a question about the recommendation to install the slide pin with the bushing on top of the driver side caliper but then on the bottom of the passenger side caliper. I think the bottom side of both the driver and passenger rotors would be the trailing edge (with the car moving forward) which seems to be the most common recommendation I've read and feels right having the tighter/slower pin rebound on the trailing edge instead of the leading side of the brake pad. Do you have any thoughts on this?
@dial2fast3 ай бұрын
Normally the slide pin with the bushing goes on the top. What I showed in this video with one side on top and one side on the bottom is how it came from Nissan. This was the first brake service since new. So I went with how it came from Nissan and reinstalled everything the same way.

Why change rotor at 45k miles?
@dial2fast4 ай бұрын
Because if you are changing pads, you should always change the rotors. Otherwise you will have vibration and pulsing problems. If you are wondering about machining rotors, those days are long gone. For the DIY, you will have a hard time finding a shop that will machine it for you and you will end up with a thinner rotor which leads to rotor warping. Just replace them.
