Nissan Altima Rear Brake Pads Replacement 2013-2017 - 4 Minute DIY Video

How to replace the rear disc brake pads on a 2013-2017 (5th Generation) Nissan Altima. This video shows work on a 2015 Nissan Altima, yours will be very similar.
On my last video for the Altima Front Brakes, I did not show how to lube the guide pins. In this video I have included those steps. It is good to do this maintenance, I usually do it every other time I change the brakes on my cars, because I drive so much, my brake jobs are frequent. You may want to clean and lube the guide pins with every brake job you do.
NOTE about what lube to use:
Be sure to use Silicone Paste or some other high heat lube made for use with rubber, may types of lube will degrade rubber. I really like the 3M Silicone Paste, it is expensive but its great stuff and one bottle lasts a really long time. Here is the the link:

Straight to the point, no annoying and distracting background music. Nice and clear video!.👍🏻

[@dorianfulton7168]

This format is one of the best DIY I have seen. And I've watched boatloads.

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Wow thank you so much! Means a lot to me ✨💛

[@elvinkeller7823]

The best video I have seen. No audio; awesome. I could follow the instructions. Thank you so much.

[@christophercoffey5332]

Cool vid. I love it when i can watch a diy video with the sound off and still have total understanding of what is going on

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Thank you very much!

[@THEdbag45]

[@TheOutwiththeold]

Well thank you very much for using silicone paste on the guides and I'm amazed how many people do not

[@MiauLKhor]

The video just short, clear and sweet. Good job, thank you!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Thanks so much

[@jameslucas5590]

Thank you! You saved me $300.

[@nikolaip4947]

Thank you for posting this. I'm about to change my pads and I wasn't sure if the caliper was twist in or compress

[@DesolationGamingYT]

thank you for this, short and sweet right to the point.

[@Brizzly]

I love how pretty much everything is simple.

[@joshwisma3936]

You saved me $300 on the front axel alone! My thanks to you.

Top notch presentation

[@chrisschlis9440]

Didn't know about this silicone paste. (Or torque spec ) On my way to the parts store first thing in the morning. Thanks for the video!

[@gregwilliams5038]

Best brake video I seen

[@sampresto9664]

Much appreciated! New pads are installed. 🍻

[@mitchvilla3972]

I like the detail. What about opening the break reservoir to prevent back pressure when pushing the calipers piston in?

[@BrunzwickTX]

It's great you remembered to lube the guides and pads, but you didn't turn the rotors. That's literally half the job! The rotors warp as they get hot, and material is removed from them during braking, leaving small grooves in the rotors. You can feel these when you have the wheel removed. When you put perfectly flat new brake pads against a warped rotor, you will get pedal pulse (brake pedal bouncing) and the new pads will not work as well because the rotor will only contact the pads at the peaks of the grooves. For anyone watching this video, remove the rotor and take it to a machine shop and have it turned!!!

[@suspensefulness]

im pissed 😠..and the fuccin dealer trynna charge me 6-700$...🤦🏾‍♂️.. thank you for this video

[@chadplzak9792]

For real?!

[@seanc.6470]

Thank you for this video. Will be doing this next weekend.

[@Javilanderos]

Great video. Did you with Bosch brand for a particular reason? So many posts on brand preferences. Now that they have been installed for some time , what is your review of them? I know front and rear pads are different. Do you have part number to both front and rear pads or even amazon link? > I would like to compensate you for your efforts through Amazon link.

[@arthurgreen6682]

[@zupp.social]

is that pad the nissan oem parts?

[@Biffey101]

I have a 2017, what are all the tools I’d require?

[@hamzashafique5333]

Wrench, 14 mm socket for brake caliper, socket for wheel lug nuts, something to push the brake caliper piston in (c-clamp, or the tool used in video), and optionally (but highly suggested) brake cleaner spray, paper towels, silicone lube.

[@robertroach5114]

Curious, why did you use the silicone lube paste with the rear bolts and pads, but in the front break video, you just lubed the ends of the brake pads? You also cleaned the piston and the boot on the rear, don't do that on the front?

[@DOORBELLBOY11]

Remove cap from brake reservoir

[@forrestlupercio3335]

Does this work for a 2017 I know your title says it does

[@daviddoraei9547]

Awesome vid , for the parts (in the description) it tells me the pads are only for the rear on my Nissan Altima 2013 . Can I buy them for the front brakes also or are they different

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Thanks! Yes the front brake pads are different from the rear. Here is my video for doing the front brakes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2O3gaenp72rptU The link for the front brake pads I used in the video is here: www.amazon.com/dp/B015FXG81Q/ Thanks for watching! Luke

[@ivanflores6958]

I bought the wagner brand from O'Reilly's for mine but the hardware didnt fit so i had to use the old ones why didnt they fit they are wider than the used ones

[@xandyx1988]

do you know how tight the bolts for caliper bracket are supposed to be?

[@krecikowi]

Question. It looks like this bosh break pads are different for inside and outside of the rotor. My kit only had one pad with wear indicator. What break pad should go inside CS. outside.

[@urnkiosd]

this is awesome!!! thanks

[@El_Borrego_Negro]

Is that aluminum anti-seize That you're a putting on everything

[@naserith2432]

Do I need to take the cap off the master cylinder before I compress the piston?

[@coreyc.6927]

That’s what I would like to know??

[@danlagf]

Yes.

[@AnishRamaswamy]

The factory service manual for a 2015 Altima mentions that the caliper guide bolts need to be torqued to 32 ft-lbs. Why do you recommend 20 ft-lbs (at 3:18 in your video)?

[@hannahandtaryn2514]

What’s the tool used to compress the piston

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

Hey, it’s a piston compressor also called a speader. They are very cheap at harbor freight tools, Walmart, or Amazon for about $5-10 bucks. Here is the link from the video description to a good one from amazon: amzn.to/2N8eefm and thanks so much for watching!

[@mst3kpimp]

ya you definitely want to put on your emergency brake, car WILL move!

[@liltorque]

Shot in the dark here but I can’t get the glide bolt off. It’s stuck pretty good. Any tips on how to get them off? I’ve tried WD40 and muscle with the 14mm and a vice but no luck

[@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS]

The guide pins can be tough to get off! The first thing I would do is make sure you are turning them the correct way, I know this sounds silly but I myself have gotten turned around when removing them and even sheared one right off because I was turning it counter clockwise from my point of view instead of from the bolt's point of view (which is always the correct pov). If that's definitely not the problem then I suggest penetrating fluid like PB Blaster. Spray some carefully around the head of the bolt and let it do it's thing for 10 mins or so. Remember to clean up any overspray with Brake Cleaner. Also a breaker bar or metal pipe on the end of your ratchet might give you the extra leverage it takes to get it loose. Thanks for asking and watching, please let me know how it goes! (Pep boys and autozone usually have replacements in stock for less than $10 in the event you need them ;) luke

14 mm wrench tap wrench with hammer

[@chadplzak9792]

Did you ever figure it out..try hitting it with a torche to heat up

[@suspensefulness]

after do u still have to bleed the breaks

[@victormedina4378]

no that's only when you change the caliper

[@suspensefulness]

@@victormedina4378 thank you..i thought after compressing the caliper in to change pads you have to bleed the system

[@shermstevens2540]

Super Sic-o Bleeding is needed only if you open up the hydraulics, like replacing a caliper or a brake line... AND if you have a soft spongy pedal (meaning there is air in the line).
