Infiniti JX35/QX60 Changing Your Front Brake Pads and Rotors - Turbo Edition

[@MrSmoothstrings]

Thank you very much. Great video! I'm planning on doing the front brakes on my daughter's car maybe this week end. She has the 2015 Infiniti Q50. You articulate very well and you made it easy to follow your video.

Awesome, thank you for the great feedback, I very much appreciate it. Glad the video will help with your daughters Q50!. Thanks for watching

[@NexusAuto]

that's awesome! Love it. Glad the video helped. thanks for watching!

[@jimmyjones375]

Do you know the oem part # for the front and rear rotors, Thank you.

[@NexusAuto]

Don't directly quote me on this, as I do not know if Infiniti has changed part numbers, or if it changes for later year cars, (as far as I know, it hasn't), the brake pads Part Number is D1060-3JA0A, and the rotors Part Number 40206-3JA0A

Just a question on bleeding the brakes- i didnt see you loosen the banjo bolt at the start when you took the calipers off/didnt need to do this. I assume that at the end you can just do a few pumps on the pedal with the master cylinder open to get any air out?

[@NexusAuto]

That is correct, overall. The RIGHT was is exactly as you described...loosen the banjo bolt, then compress the caliper piston. The only reason this is done is to prevent dirt or contaminants from backfeeding through the brake fluid and damaging the master cylinder. Generally speaking, unless there is a small leak of any sort, there should be no concern for contaminants. I always inspect and if there is even a little bit of wetness, even if no leak is present, I will back off the banjo. Otherwise, I have done a lot of cars like this and had 0 issues or failures. That being said, it should be done at your own discretion. If you are not sure, use the banjo bolt.

One of the caliper pins has a rubber Slide pin boot. May I know if for front brake, this pin will be put in the top of torque member or in the bottom?

[@NexusAuto]

If I remember correctly, it is the bottom caliper pin that has the rubber on it

[@TheMontanasv6]

@@NexusAuto Thanks a lot. The rear caliper pin with rubber sliding boot was found that it was located on the top. And from the service manual(page BR-37), it shows front caliper pin with rubber boot on the top (LF wheel view); Would you please share what is the difference for the pin with/without rubber slide boot? and any difference to located it on the top or bottom? From service manual, it all shows on the top of the torque member. Thanks.

[@TheMontanasv6]

@@NexusAuto sorry, should correct the name as"pin with rubber bushing" instead of "sliding boot".

[@NexusAuto]

@@TheMontanasv6 You would be right...I apologize. I should have checked the service manual before answering off of memory. Thank you for clarifying. Although, if you had the service manual, why did you ask? LOL. I feel like this was a test :) As for the boot, it is supposed to serve as a vibration damper, to help stop the caliper from vibrating on the bolts. That is the info I learned about them a few years ago when this started becoming common on cars, and I have not heard of any other purpose. Always make sure that the pins go back to their proper respective positions. Upper pin should remain in the upper, and lower pin in the lower caliper position. For some cars, it actually makes little difference. The pins are the exact same size, shape and design. So bottom or top, it doesn't matter. For other cars, the top and bottom pins are different, and they have been engineered like that. To be safe, never risk it. For the JX35 and QX60, the pins do have some slight differences, so it should be assumed that they have to go back to their respective torque member slots.

Nexus Auto many thanks. I just bought a service manual in case I need any information. But still a video and experienced technician would be better to ask for hands on experience. Thanks so much.

[@jasmitsingh8649]

great video as alwasy !!!

[@NexusAuto]

Thanks, appreciate it, and thanks for all the support too!

[@israelbustoz1680]

Is the a qx60

[@NexusAuto]

Yep it is. The jx35 and qx60 are the same suv

[@GForce101]

I wish you could show how to properly jack the vehicle because there is no way to find it on the user's manual I don't know why. If you upload a video with "Infiniti QX60 Jacking point" I'm sure you will get thousands of views because there is none in youtube right now.

[@NexusAuto]

Good point. I can look into making a video specific to the Jx35 and Qx60. Thanks for the great recommendation!

[@Mark-gg8xx]

Agree nothing out there for 2015 QX60

[@NexusAuto]

@@Mark-gg8xx completely agree. The video is out now, in case you both haven't seen it. It can be seen here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKDLqWyIfsyLbbs Thanks!

[@Mark-gg8xx]

@@NexusAuto yes I saw It right after looking in your video list. Thank You.
