New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABF...
This video shows you how to install rear brake pads and rotors on your 2012-2020 Nissan Pathfinder. 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:
2013 Nissan Pathfinder
2014 Nissan Pathfinder
2015 Nissan Pathfinder
2016 Nissan Pathfinder
2017 Nissan Pathfinder
2018 Nissan Pathfinder
2019 Nissan Pathfinder
2020 Nissan Pathfinder

[@sidewayz24]

You have done a very great job. Thank you for the detail and there isn’t many mechanics out there like you.

[@nel2895]

You always make the best and more detailed videos i have seen. Thank you!

[@rrmorris67]

Very detailed. If I'd add anything I've learned from experience that it is a really good idea to just go ahead and take this opportunity to flush out your brake lines if you're in there doing all this other stuff. Is it a must do? Nah. But it's a probably should do. Get fresh fluid in the system and flush out the old stuff, especially from those calipers. Especially if its been a few years or if you notice that your brake fluid has darkened a bit. There's countless videos on how to manually bleed the lines out and you can do it will very simple tools if you want to. Old fluid lessens brake system performance and can cause failure of expensive components, like calipers. And once those calipers freeze up on you it doesnt take long before you roach a set of pads and/or the rotors as well. I've learned these lessons the hard way.

[@chrisb4697]

Fantastic job! So much detail. One of the best brake change videos I've seen. Do you want to also apply brake grease where the brake pads attach to the shims?

[@AZ-su1xt]

Excellent video, thank you

[@shreddininfla]

Nice video. Do you know in the pins with the vibration dampeners are on the top of the calipers on both the drivers and the passenger sides?

[@TradeManiac]

Great detailed video!

[@anonvideos8438]

Thank you for this

[@felixst69]

Did you have to open the cap of the fluid container when you do the brakes?

[@nickleone1902]

You should never add brake fluid to a brake system. If the fluid is low, it is because your brakes are low or you have a leak

[@randymills4276]

RED thread locker?? Gonna need a torch next time !!

[@ShineKing]

I thought that if your e brake has brake shoes that would mean you have brake drums not brake rotors. Could you clarify for me please?

[@gamezflamez8842]

I'm doing this right now but a couple problems. My sliders were very difficult to remove, actually still stuck in the caliper. Do you think I need a new caliber or can this all be cleaned and reassembled??

[@patrickconrad396]

Does anyone know if there is anything special I have to do to replace the calipers? My uncle works on gm cars and is helping me, but is concerned we might have to do something involving the emergency braking system

[@frankrose4657]

What's the disk called you use to clean around the studs that fits over them?

[@eddosBb]

When you adjusted the e brake shoes did have the e brake off?

[@pastrami00]

There's no way my dealership does all this when they change to brakes

[@dennishayes1505]

Where's the one on the actual park brake replacement
