1999 NISSAN PRIMERA torque

CAUTION:
Do not use any sharp tools or cleaning agents which con-
tains mineral oil. Damage to the installation can occur.
10. Clean the cylinder body and guide grooves in the torque
member.
11. Check the dust cover and guide sleeves for damage.
12. Measure the amount of wear on the brake pad
Standard pad thickness:
11 mm (0.43 in)
Pad wear limit:
2.0 mm (0.079 in)
14. Press the piston fully back with a suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Carefully monitor brake fluid level to avoid brake fluid from
returning to the reservoir when pushing back the piston.
Installation
1. Install the brake pad with a three-pronged retaining spring
into the piston.
2. Place the second brake pad into the guide groove of the
torque member on the outer side of the brake disc.
3. Place the cylinder body with the installed brake pad over the
brake disc and the second brake pad.
4. Tighten the guide pins witha7-mmAllen key.
5. Press back the protective caps into the guides sleeve.

6. Check the cylinder body retaining spring for damage if the
spring is defective, replace the spring.
7. Click the cylinder body retaining spring in position and make
sure that:
lThe two ends of spring click correctly into the locating
holes of the cylinder body.
lThe spring is in the correct position against the lugs of
the torque member.
Removal
WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne materials.
CAUTION:
Suspend caliper assembly with wire to avoid stretching the
brake hose.
Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly.
Disassembly
WARNING:
Do not place your fingers in front of piston.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or score cylinder wall.
1. Push out piston with dust seal with compressed air.
2. Remove piston seal with a suitable tool.
Inspection Ð Caliper
CYLINDER BODY
lCheck inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, dam-
age or presence of foreign materials. If any of the above
conditions are observed, replace cylinder body.
lMinor damage from rust or foreign materials may be elimi-
nated by polishing surface with a fine emery paper. Replace
cylinder body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oil.

8. As shown in the figure, align the piston's concave to the
pad's convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque
member.
9. Install brake cable, brake cable mounting bolt, lock spring
and master cylinder reservoir cap.
Removal
WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
1. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
2. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
3. Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose.
Disassembly
1. Remove piston by turning it counterclockwise with long nose
pliers or suitable tool.
2. Pry off snap ring A from piston with suitable pliers and
remove adjusting nut.

WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
lWhen cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal
because piston will pop out.
lBe careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims in replacing pads.
lIf shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
lIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend
cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
