Has anyone ever changed the front brakes on a 02 or 03 Maxima SE or GLE? I am planning to change my front rotors and pads, but might need a bit of advice on removing the rotors. I took a quick look a few weeks ago to see how to remove the pads and rotors. Like most cars the pads were pretty simple to remove. However, the rotors didn't appear to have any screws that would allow for removal. I am thinking there must be some simple trick to it. If anyone has ever done a brake job on any 5th Generation Max especially the 02's or 03's, I would like to hear your suggestions on removing the rotors. Thanks!

 

www.motorvate.ca The brake setup is pretty much the same.

 

Remove the calipers and the rotors come right off. May need to pursuade them with a rubber hammer. I replaced front and rear rotors/pads on my '02 with an iRotors setup. Check my site for pics.

 

Look in the "how to's" there is plenty of info & pictures there to guide you in the process.

 

Yep, sometimes have to use a rubber mallet to jar them loose, then they come right off. I have a lot of experience with brake jobs, tend to drive kinda fast...

 

remove the calipers
and then there are 2 other screws that hold in the second part.. you can see them

just few taps on the rotor and just pull it out evenly from all sides

 

Thank for the info guys. I appreciate it. Everything was a success.
