REAR DISC BRAKE
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and Disc Rotor
INFOID:0000000005147921
WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid.
• Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or re placing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-35, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure".
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Fasten disc rotor using wheel nut.
3. Remove brake reservoir cap.
4. Remove union bolt and cylinder body bolts, then remove cylin-
der body.
NOTE:
Discard the copper washers, do not reuse.
5. Apply matching marks to disc rotor and wheel hub assembly if the disc rotor is to be reused, then remove disc rotor.
CAUTION:
Put matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor
if the disc rotor is to be reused.
INSTALLATION
1. If reusing the disc rotor, use the matching marks to align disc rotor on the wheel hub assembly, then install
disc rotor using a wheel nut to hold it in place.
CAUTION:
Use matching marks on wheel hub assembly and di sc rotor if the disc rotor is to be reused.
2. Install cylinder body and tighten cylinder body bolts to specification. CAUTION:
Before installing cylinder body to the vehic le, wipe off mating surface of cylinder body.
3. Install brake hose to cylinder body with new copper washers and tighten union bolt to specification.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse copper washers.
• Securely attach brake hose to projection on cylinderbody.
4. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed. Refer to BR-17, "
Bleeding
Brake System".
5. Check rear disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
6. Install rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-49, "
Rotation".

4. Remove piston seals from cylinder body, using a suitable tool.CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage cylinder inner wall.
• Do not reuse piston seals.
5. Remove the bleeder valve and cap.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
Check inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, damage or foreign materials. If any of the above condi-
tions are observed, replace cylinder body.
Minor damage from rust or foreign materials may be el iminated by polishing surface with a fine emery paper.
Replace cylinder body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid for cleaning. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If damage or def ormation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign materials. Replace if any of the above con-
ditions are observed.
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated, do not polish with emery paper even if rust or foreign materials are
stuck to sliding surface.
Sliding Pins, and Sliding Pin Boots
Check sliding pin and sliding pin boot for wear, damage, and cracks. If damage or deformation is present,
replace the affected part.
CAUTION:
Trailing/upper slidi ng pin must be replaced at each service.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not use NISSAN Rubber Grease ( KRE00 00010, KRE00 00010 01) when assembling.
1. Install the bleeder valve and cap.
2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease to new piston seals and insert seals into grooves on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston seals.

3. Apply Molykote M-77 grease to piston boots. Cover the piston ends with piston boots, and then install cylinder side lip on piston
boots securely into the grooves on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boots.
4. Apply clean brake fluid to pistons, then install pistons into cylin- der body and insert piston boot side lip into groove of pistons as
shown.
CAUTION:
Press the pistons evenly to prevent damage to cylinder
wall.
5. Apply rubber grease and insert into cylinder body by hand and insert piston bo\
ot piston-side lip into piston groove.
CAUTION:
Press pistons evenly and vary the pr essing point to prevent cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
6. Apply rubber grease and install sliding pins, bushing and sliding pin boots to torque member.
7. Install the pads, shims, shim cover, and pad retainers from the torque member.
8. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.
