WARNING:
Clean dust on brake calipers and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of
airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing brake caliper, do not de press brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• Keep disc brake rotors and brake pa ds free from brake fluid and grease.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc brake rotors mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or
replacing disc brake rotors, after replacing brake pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to BR-17, "Brake Burnishing"
.
REMOVAL
1. Partially drain brake fluid from the master cylinder. Refer to BR-14, "Drain and Refill".
2. Remove rear wheel and tire using power tool. Refer to WT-55, "Adjustment"
.
3. Remove the upper and lower sliding pin bolts. Refer to BR-39,
"BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
NOTE:
Note the sliding pin orientation during removal. The upper sliding
pin contains a bushing.
4. Remove brake caliper from torque member. Leavi ng brake hose attached, reposition the brake caliper
aside with wire.

CAUTION:
Do not twist or stretch the brake hose.
5. Remove the brake pads and shims from the torque member.
6. Remove the brake pad retainers from the torque member. CAUTION:
• When removing the brake pad retainers from the torque
member, lift in the directi on indicated by the arrow as
shown so that it does not deform.
• Replace brake pad retainers if damage exists.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Apply Molykote AS-880N grease or equivalent betw een the outer brake pad, outer shim cover and outer
shim and the inner shim and inner brake pad. Install out er shim, outer shim cover to outer brake pad, and
inner shim, inner shim cover to inner brake pad.
CAUTION:
Replace brake pad shims and covers if damage exists.
• Apply Molykote 7439 grease or equivalent between brake pad retainers and brake pad ends. Install brake pad retainers and brake pads on torque member.
CAUTION:
• Make sure the brake pad retainers are fastened properly to the torque member.
• Replace brake pad retainers if damage exists.
• Using a suitable tool, press the piston into the cylinder bore of the caliper.
• Check brake fluid level and refill as necessary. Refer to BR-8, "Inspection"
.
• Burnish contact surface between brake pads and disc brake rotors. Refer to BR-17, "Brake Burnishing"
.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951721
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000009463735
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear br ake using a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow by
compressed air.
• Brake fluid use refer to BR-8, "Inspection"
.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
• After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder t han normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
• Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) harness connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the parts.
