INFINITI Q50 Q60 FRONT BRAKES REPLACEMENT - How to change Brake Pads and Rotors on an Infiniti Q50

[@stephencannon3140]

Make a major installation note early. DO NOT try to change both sides of same axle even with a helper. The logic is use the other side as a reference point is you get stuck o a step during installation. If this is a rear brake rotor change make another major helpful hint. The rust preventative coating they apply also gets applied inside the the rotor hat and that CAN be a problem, not overly common but noteworthy. Some even modern day vehicles still use a drum assembly for the parking brake. The parking brake assembly might be fine but the coating can be applied too thick and essentially becomes too smooth for the parking brake to engage.....especially on the slightest incline. One of the few if not the only part of the rotor that should be rough. Ask me how I know!!!

[@fixinit]

Good advice. Thanks!

[@jaytizzle1090]

This video is literally one of the best walk through I’ve seen. Nice

[@jaytizzle1090]

Is there a link you could drop for the brake pads that’d be much appreciated

[@abdurrehmanasad9002]

One of the most simple and detailed install video I’ve seen. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks for Watching! 😎

Really helped me change my front brakes for the first time on my q60. Appreciate the video my guy!

Pro tip- press the piston back in using a flat head before removing caliper

These are the videos I seek.. Trying ti start working on my own infinity Q60 IPL.. Good content man.. 👍

No lie this helped me so much, thank you bro, you’re a beast .

What was the torque for the mounting bracket and caliper bolt?

[@Light00000]

Grown man body strength torque tight 😂

[@skepticalobserver7484]

About 7 or 8 out of 10 on the ugga-dugga meter.

[@xcit]

torque? uh whats torque 😂

[@MrFredGross]

Nice and clean bro, well done !

[@charac189]

How different is the sports break tho? You mentioned twice…I got the Q50s I’m thinking the calipers? Plz let me know as I’m about to get working on it

[@fixinit]

Sport Brakes are not hard to do. Take a look at this brake job I did on a Mustang. The procedure is very similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIeYfoiejpl3nq8 I think the Infiniti has extra pins holding each of the slide pins in place. Pull the pins out and knock out the slide pins.

[@hamiam2659]

No lie straight to the point

[@mattdoebereiner9129]

I have the same powerstop kit as you, did you notice the pad's hardware clips are different (3:39). The clips I took off the car were identical but the fronts on this kit have 2 different types that are very similar. Unless its different for left/right I have not done the passenger side yet.

[@fixinit]

I don’t remember receiving additional clips other than what you see on the video.

[@daemonhat]

@@fixinit i just did the brakes on my car, the front hardware was all the same, but the rear brake hardware had 2 different "styles". they looked almost the same, but the gap that the rotor fits in was wider on one than the other, i think because not all the vehicles the kit is compatible with use vented rear rotors, which are wider than a non-vented rotor.

[@joseorozco5158]

What break pads and rotors are these from? In need of help

[@fixinit]

Power Stop. There’s a link in the video description.

[@23nagra]

Great work brother 👏 Nice video clear directions

[@fixinit]

Thanks for watching!

[@sonnydee1547]

Did not see you change the break wear sensor , or no need?

[@David-um4dy]

What are the best break pads to buy?

[@fixinit]

You will get a lot of different opinions on what is best. I would go with OEM parts.

[@basschamp56]

Im struggling to get the rotor off with a hammer. Was your hammer pretty heavy?

[@fixinit]

3 lb Sledgehammer

[@jjorr1]

Wow thanks I needed this help

[@jmar7313]

Do I still have to take brake fluid cap off and bleed once I finish?

[@fixinit]

No

[@fixinit]

@@jmar7313 lol, Thanks. Can’t win them all. 😎

[@juanchavez3936]

I got one question how does the rotor get screwed. Like what bolts hold it in place? Cause I didn’t see you take anything off that holds the rotor or was it the 2 22mm bolts behind the caliper?

[@fixinit]

Rotors are held in place by the Lug nuts. Some cars have one or two small screws that hold the rotor in place but they are not really necessary.

[@juanchavez3936]

@@fixinit okay cause I got a q50 as well and I was wondering what hold them in. And was scared to change them my self. But thanks

[@minijcjr1]

Does the caliper pin with the black tip go on top or the bottom?

[@fixinit]

J Are you referring to the slide pins? Bottom

[@minijcjr1]

@@fixinit Yes. Thank you!

[@bsofly1962]

Can I replace grease with silver anti-seize

[@fixinit]

I wouldn’t. I only use anti-seize for fasteners.

[@23nagra]

Great work 💪

[@OnyoMeji]

On the metal springs where you install the brake pads, do the brake pad ends need to push in on the metal spring prong? I hope my question makes sense

[@daemonhat]

it does, and yes, they need to push the end of the spring in. it's what keeps the pads from constantly touching the rotor causing premature wear/failure.

[@Qfittychino]

Wha you think might be the problem when I break from 80 to 60 it wobbles ?

[@fixinit]

Warped rotors

[@kyleheerasingh8752]

Would it be the same for rear brakes aswell?

[@fixinit]

Yes, it should be about the same. Here’s a video of me doing rear brakes on my Honda. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoack2uIj9h8sJY

[@daemonhat]

it's exactly the same, but the rear hardware doesn't have the little springs like the fronts do.

[@jaejinhwang9150]

Great video. Where did you get those break hardware like shim?

[@fixinit]

Thanks. New hardware is usually included with the new brake pads. If not, any auto parts store sells the hardware kit.

[@arvand_org_cars3859]

Great video very helpful. Do you know the torque specs of caliper bolts?

[@fixinit]

Don’t know exactly but they don’t take much. Around 20 - 26 ft-lbs. The bracket bolts are a lot more, around 100 ft-lbs.

Bro was smacking the rotor with a hammer on the surface whyyy

It’s the old one brodie, that’s how you get them off when they are stuck
