Front Disc Brake: Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
- While removing brake pad or cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
- It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is not under tension.
- Do not damage piston boot.
- If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
- Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
- When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.
