Any instructions on how to change the front brake pads on a 6th Gen Maxima.

Thanks,

Mike

 

Take off the wheel
Two bolts holding the caliper on
Push the piston back in with a c-clamp
Put new pads in
Put caliper back on
Put wheel back on

I'd also throw in a little bit of lube on the caliper. You'll see where to lube it when you take it off...

 

Thanks!!!

 

I'll usually open the brake fluid cover before pushing the brake piston back in. Someone once told me you could blow a break line if you don't.

 

you wont blow a brake line lol. if you can stand on the pedal and not blow one then you can push the caliper back in slowly without blowing one. i think you should take any more advice from that person and let it go right out your other ear.

but back to the OP, do what max said and just lube the slides

 

Thanks for the advice fellas but I wont be needing to replace the brakes, I bout a Q45 today and got rid of the Max.
