New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ie/1ABF...
This video shows you how to install new rear brakes from TRQ on your 2012-2018 Nissan Altima. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2012 Nissan Altima
2013 Nissan Altima
2014 Nissan Altima
2015 Nissan Altima
2016 Nissan Altima
2017 Nissan Altima
2018 Nissan Altima

Why do the bleeder valve just open the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment worked every-time for me , when compressing the booster

[@alexandertahoe9182]

Shouldn't have to ever open bleeder valve. Just another way to get air in system and now you will have to bleed brake system.

[@carlosSanchez-xm3ti]

What are the names of the air tools you use ? and link to the attachments please ? are they air sanders or die grinders ? and what attachment did you use to get the studs

[@randomperson2160]

This says to put the caliper pin with the boot on top but I looked at the service manual and it looks like they go on the bottom.

[@jasoncaine2600]

Looks so eazy meanwhile I'm over here with a impact ratchet & the bolt still won't come out 🤷‍♂️

[@adamxiong1817]

My rotors aren't coming off. 🤣Been hammering at it for hours. It wont come off. Even after making sure the brake shoes are all the way loose.

[@evolutionofcando379]

when i did my front brakes the bolt just came off by themselves not connected to the rods like that, are the back bolts always connected to the rods like that?

[@damigotit1052]

Great info👍

Do you have to replace the rear brake rotors on a Altima with about 50k miles?
