2. Apply brake fluid to piston and piston boot, then install piston
boot in to piston groove.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Insert into cylinder body by hand and insert piston boot piston-side lip into piston groove.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and vary the pressing point to prevent cylinder body inner wall from being
rubbed.
4. Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to torque member.
CAUTION:
Trailing/upper sliding pin must be replaced at each service.
5. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolt to the specified torque. Refer to BR-20, "
Components" .
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any of them is detected, replace
applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to wheel hub at 2 or more positions.
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. (Measured at 10mm (0.39 in)
inside the disc edge.)
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifi-
cations before measuring runout. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL
BEARING INSPECTION" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by
shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one
hole.
4. If runout still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake
lathe.
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is
either at or below the wear limit, or exceeds maximum uneven wear,
replace disc rotor.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
Burnish brake contact surface according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing rotors, after
replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

Standard thickness : 26.0 mm (1.024 in)
Repair limit thickness : 24.5 mm (0.965 in)

Removal and InstallationEFS004YJ
REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel sensor mounting screw.

When removing the front wheel sensor, first remove the disc rotor to gain access to the front wheel sen-
sor mounting bolt. Refer to BR-21, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly and Disc
Rotor" .

When removing the rear wheel sensor, first remove the rear hub and bearing assembly to gain access
to the rear wheel sensor mounting bolt. Refer to RAX-5, "
Removal and Installation" .
2. Pull out the sensor, being careful to turn it as little as possible.
CAUTION:

Do not pull on the sensor harness.
3. Disconnect wheel sensor harness electrical connector, then remove harness from mounts.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Tighten wheel sensor bolt to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Installation should be performed while paying attention to the following.

Inspect wheel sensor O-ring, replace sensor assembly if damaged.

Before installing wheel sensor, make sure no foreign materials (such as iron fragments) are
adhered to the pick-up part of the sensor, to the inside of the sensor mounting hole or on the rotor
mounting surface.

Apply a coat of suitable grease to the wheel sensor O-ring and mounting hole.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEDS001XD
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there
is no looseness of wheel bearing.

Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or
other irregular conditions. If there are any irregular conditions,
replace wheel hub and bearing assembly.
Removal and InstallationEDS001XE
REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove engine under cover using power tool.
3. Without disassembling the hydraulic lines, remove caliper torque member bolts using power tool. Then
reposition brake caliper aside with wire. Refer to BR-21, "
REMOVAL" .
NOTE:
Do not press brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.Axial end play limit : 0.05 mm (0.002 in) or less

ON-VEHICLE SERVICEPFP:00000
Front Suspension PartsEES001GI
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.

Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then
check ball joint end play. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING
INSPECTION" and FSU-15, "Inspection" .

Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4x4 only).

Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.

Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.

Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentEES001GJ
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WAR NIN G:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn suspension parts before making
any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-21, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .

Verify the level using Consult-II memory register 1103 and set to 0 ± 10 mm (0 ± 0.39 in) as necessary.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.

This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.

The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.

The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.

The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.

Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.Suspension component torques : Refer to FSU-5,
