Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for.

he did not put any grease on the bolts ? so the break shoes do not drag the
pads ?

Im glad u made this post,..thank you very much,, I just change my front
brakes for the first time in my 2004 nissan titan I hade for almost 10yrs 

SuperrichBearHD says:

How come you did not put any dielectric grease on the pads and pistons?

Marvin Craig says:

Thanks for this I think its time for me to replace my front rotors on my
’05 Titan. Getting some steering wheel shimmy when applying the brakes at
higher speeds.

Jason Douglas says:

No not if they are still within the minimum thickness tolerance for the
vehicle. It’s also not necessary to bleed the brakes unless you are
removing brake lines, replacing calipers etc or if the vehicle is older say
than 5 years old or something.

Good info. I suggest cleaning the pistons before depressing them. Also, a
way to make it easier is to bleed the brakes while pushing in the pistons.
Then add fresh brake fluid. Great video either way. Keep them coming.

FYI, caliper braket bolts are 18mm

Arcqueid says:

Little tip to save your anti-lock break module. Clamp the break lines with
smooth vice-grips or use the break line clamps that you are suppose to use.
Then open the nipple on the caliper tell the fluid comes out. Then collapse
the pistons. Then close the nipple. This keeps air out of the break lines
and also saves you from potentially damaging your anti-lock break module.
The abs does not always get damaged ,but it does happen a lot.

Nice video. I plan to replace rotors and brakes sometime this year on my
2007 Titan. Noticed on your two videos that you replaced rotors, brakes,
and some hardware. Any chance you can post that information so we can buy
the same setup? Thanks

Chris Melochick says:

Overall, great video. I did have a question for you, I was having a
“clicking” or “ticking” noise coming from my front brakes in my Titan. I
Took the brakes apart, cleaned them and re lubed them, had the rotors
machined, and put it all back together. Now there is this strong pulsing in
the brake pedal and slight vibration in the steering wheel. Other than
assuming the machine shop destroyed my rotors, do you have any other ideas?

Louis Boestfleisch says:

Do you suggest putting high temp grease on any parts of the braking system
front or back? If so where would you put it?

Earnest Stewart says:

is it necessary to put on new rotors when changing the brakes

Jose Salazar says:

Great video man, Keep up the good work.

Shelly Gray says:

Thanks for the help! Now we can do it ourselves.

I always take that Metal Scratch your Rotors All up Alert Tab off.

MrPup0007 says:

Nice last note about pumping the brakes because you will not have any
brakes until they’re pumped and hard again.
