NISSAN NOTE FRONT DISCS AND BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT WITH COMMON PROBLEMS

[@MS-bm8bu]

Very clear, precise and to the point - like it thanks. Hate those videos that waffle on, yours is great. I fell a the first hurdle by stripping the rotor torx screw :( Some work now required.

[@baconbuttties]

Yes them torx screws on the disc can be a pain

[@TheTwelly]

While I found your video informative, and easy to follow, I'd just like to add to my experience of doing the same job several times, with Brembo discs and pads. They came with new bolts for both, and already added with their own 'loctite'. I'm about to replace them again soon, so in order to avoid the guide pin issue, I purchased a new set for just over £13. As my Note has almost covered 300, 000kl, I thought it was a wise move, instead of keep going at them to remove what rust that always seems gather on them. The new guide pins are hard galvanized items, but that's no guarantee of them seizing up again, so I'll wait and see on that. Anyway, thanks for the video upload.👍

[@mikep-j894]

Very clear video, and process is very nicely described. Oddly I have an 11 year old 150k miles Note with the 'stuck guide pins' problem but far worse, so I'll be using a slide hammer threaded into the end to break them out and then replacing them, and if they snap off or the wreckage does not come out clean, the frame they slide in may need replacement as well, I do not thing that drilling will be an option. I'd add an strong up-vote for your comment to always take the pins right out and check their condition, even if they move OK, and also to check the integrity of the little rubber bellows in future. Do keep them paired with the hole they came from though. Otherwise once jammed solid, it is a lot of aggro for small oversight, and of course poor braking.

[@baconbuttties]

👍🏼 good luck with the pins and thanks for the comment

[@craigcunliffe8955]

I like how he’s talking newton and lbs most novices havnt a clue what your saying here

[@baconbuttties]

Novices are just people on a journey to learn.

[@peterevans5462]

Maybe not but its easy to find out what it means and its need to know info if doing the job right.. I found the torque settings very useful , saved me looking it up.

Great! No waffle, straight into the job. You should be a teacher! Subscribed

Thanks 👍

[@walkingwithpeter]

Great tutorial, helped me out a lot with this job!

[@baconbuttties]

Glad it helped 👍🏼

very good demonstration, its all are you needed.

[@erikvalent7195]

Hello. Great video, I do have to ask though…. Is the concept the same for the rear brakes as I plan to do this on the rear.

[@baconbuttties]

Rear brakes are always different as they incorporate the handbrake mechanism, and I think it is drum brakes on the rear.

[@simplebeing7583]

Brilliant easy to follow tutorial. Just wanted to ask one question, what if the pistons are pushed back in before stripping, to avoid any damage to the new one? Your opinion please. Thank you very much.

[@baconbuttties]

I usually use a piston push tool but wanted to show how to do it without. But yes you are correct and I should of pushed the piston back in when the old disc was on earlier.

[@simplebeing7583]

Thank you very much. If I ever try I ill do so.

Hi there great video I hV a Nissan note 2007model I want to know where can I get the front disc cuz mined need replacement as well cab u help plz

[@baconbuttties]

I bought mine from EBay quite a while ago 👍

[@ActTamil]

An amazing video, very confident and planning do it myself in future. thanks

[@ShahzaibKhan-tl2zp]

Hi Its a really good video but i am facing the same first problem as you did. Can you please tell me size socket did you use to remove the locking wheel nut?

[@baconbuttties]

It was an 18mm socket but I had to get the spinning collar off the locking wheel nut first . If you look through my videos you will find one called locking wheel nut removal which shows exactly how I did it.

[@nazamosey1646]

Hi great video . I had these replaced but now there is noise on lhs - mechanic is saying these could be due to driver shaft or gearbox .However it was noise free before the parts .

[@baconbuttties]

Did the noise happen as soon as the brakes were changed ? Or has it happened over time.

[@nazamosey1646]

@@baconbuttties Hi mate straight after brakes were changed and manager of mechanic blamed on gearbox shaking upon braking as being a problem but a passerby mechanic who dropped by said it's more likely to be drive shaft as gearbox is smooth . There now is rattling noise ..drumming sound ..recovery engineer seems to say it could be a stone .

[@baconbuttties]

@@nazamosey1646 Does seem strange that the noise came straight after brake change. Has the new brake that was fitted on the lhs been checked to make sure nothing is loose

[@nazamosey1646]

@@baconbuttties Recovery engineer says hard break ing causes noise rhs and lhs also . But brake pads clips on so hardware is ok

[@BobMc87]

Great video!

[@baconbuttties]

Thanks

[@MrEvilWasp]

My locking wheel nut snapped, not the tool but the actual nut, so i've no idea how to sort that out. Any ideas? Peace

[@baconbuttties]

Ahhh that's bad. How much has snapped off? There is not enough left to bang a socket onto? I suppose some good quality drill bits to drill it out would be one solution. Not an easy task.

[@MrEvilWasp]

@@baconbuttties No no way to get a socket on. Judging by other vids of my car i think it might actually have wheel bolts rather than studs and nuts. So that's going to be fun. I only bought the car yesterday but didn't spot the broken nut/bolt. I have the same Nissan Note as you so does yours have Nuts or bolts? Peace

[@baconbuttties]

@@MrEvilWasp bolts

[@MrEvilWasp]

@@baconbuttties Cheers mate, i'm going to have to have a go at drilling it out. Now i know to order bolts to replace it. Peace

[@baconbuttties]

@@MrEvilWasp hope it all goes well, good luck 👍

[@mamatarai5319]

@BACONBUTTIES 3TTT,s which Loctite should be used on caliper bolts?

[@baconbuttties]

Any medium strength Thread lock should be okay to use. I wouldn't advise using any high strength Thread lock as removal will be difficult.

[@mamatarai5319]

Excellent !!

[@glompie]

So only one disc torx screw is enough ? There're 2 holes.

[@baconbuttties]

Yes one is more than enough, the wheel nuts are what keeps the discs solid

[@joysee6048]

Great

[@LivingWellTV]

👍👍👍

[@tonyfox1434]

I cant believe you think this is an instructional video! 9 minutes 45 seconds you remove the axle stand and wheel and STICK YOUR LEGS UNDER THE CAR!!!! NO AXLE STANDS ! This is when it falls off the tiny cheap jack and crushes your legs! KZbin should monitor safety issues like this

[@baconbuttties]

Well first of all did I tell anyone to stick their leg under the car? As that was not part of the tutorial. Also it was just my foot under the wheel arch not the car and was literally seconds before I put bolts in the wheel. I just find it strange that you watched a free video and it enraged you. Anyway thanks for the comment as I do appreciate all comments 👍
