2003 Brake Job How-to?

I have been looking for a service guide (Haynes) for the 2003 but it looks like they stop at 2001. I need to work on the brakes and would like a guide to make sure I don't miss something. Is there something online or published that a member might point me towards?

The 2001 manual should have everything you need for the 2003. I think the only difference is the 03 front rotors are a tad larger in diameter.

The brakes are set-up the exact same way (only a few dimensional changes) in my 95 and 03 ... so that write-up (95-01) should be accurate.

You won't need a Haynes manual if you get the Nissan factory service manual for your car. You can download it from ******** if you register for free.

He did say he needed to "work on his brakes", just thought maybe that'd help... I also PMed him where to get the FSM.
