Glad to help, Sean. I owned a Z32 years ago. It’s an awesome car. Cheers.
Thanks for the video, I have vintage nissan 300zx and ive been taking the WHOLE brake assemble loose to change brakes, now i see i dont have to do that. And the caliper issue is miserable. I dont have the tool but i guess i need to invest in getting one. Ive been using needle nose pliers with two hands. it works but it takes some time. Thanks again Bud!
With or without the brake tool? If the piston can’t be turn with the brake tool then the caliper is frozen and you’ll need to replace it.
the piston dosnt wana go in what should i do
Hi 222buckley. You are correct, however, I wanted viewers to see how the tool turns the piston in case they don’t have the brake tool. The back plate would block that from camera. Thanks for commenting.
You didn’t even show how to use the caliper tool with the back plate very important part makes it so much easier
Hi Terry. Glad to help out. You simply release the e-brake inside the vehicle with the emergency brake handle. Good point about the overflow. You usually don’t have to worry about an overflow but it’s a good idea to check. Thanks for commenting.
Hi Terry. No need to bleed the brakes. You would bleed the brakes if air entered the system; such as changing brake hosing, master cylinder change, etc.
One question: There’s no mention of bleeding the brake lines after changing the rear brake pads. Is it necessary to bleed out after doing the rear pads? I don’t think it’s necessary for the rear pads but it may be a good idea to bleed the fronts when changing them. Thank you!
Thank you for this great video! Great quality and excellent narration, too.
Couple things to add. I wish you could show releasing the emergency brake cable from the caliper assembly. Second, opening the top of the brake fluid reservoir (and place a few paper towels or newspaper around the reservoir) in the event there’s brake fluid “overflow” as the caliper pads are screwed back into the body. If you don’t do this, it makes it even more difficult to screw that pad. Thanks, again!

Do you realize that you are using the brake tool wrong. You are supposed to use the rectangular, for lack of a better word, piece to push against the opposite side of the caliper. Read the instructions.
The easiest way is placing a wrench over the caliper bracket bolt and tapping the wrench with hammer. At 1:48 into the video I show how it’s done. Good luck
Hi, what kind of tool do you recommend to remove the caliber bracket? I tried removing it but it was too difficult. Is there any trick?
Thanks
Glad to help. Cheers
