WARNING:

Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or
other materials.
CAUTION:

When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

Be careful not to damage piston boot or spill brake fluid oil on rotor. Always replace shims when
replacing pads.

If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat, replace them with new shims.

It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolt and brake hose union bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so
as not to stretch brake hose.

Burnish the brake pad contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-31, "
BRAKE BUR-
NISHING PROCEDURE" .

DISASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the piston.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder inner wall.
1. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure. Blow air into union
bolt mounting hole to remove pistons and piston boots.
2. Using flat-bladed screwdriver, remove piston seals.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.

Check cylinder inner wall for corrosion, wear and damage. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected,
replace the cylinder body.

Minor flaws caused by corrosion or foreign material can be removed by polishing the surface with fine
sandpaper. Replace the cylinder body, if necessary.
To r q u e M e m b e r
Check for wear, cracks and damage. If wear, cracks or damage is detected, replace the applicable part.

WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.
CAUTION:

Never depress brake pedal while removing cylinder body because piston will pop out.

Do not remove brake hose and torque member mounting bolts unless disassembling or replacing
caliper assembly. Hang the cylinder body with a wire so that the brake hose is not under tension.

Be careful not to damage piston boot. Do not allow brake fluid to get the rotor.

When replacing brake pads, always replace inner shims, outer shims, and shim covers as a set.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EGS000IZ
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
CautionEGS00049

Always follow the warnings and the cautions below in disassembly procedures:
–Work in a clean, dust-free place. No dust proof device is necessary.
–Clean outside of unit before disassembly.
–Clean parts to be disassembled. Be careful not to allow any dirt or other foreign materials to enter or con-
tact with parts.
–Assemble disassembled parts properly, following order shown in manual. If work has been suspended in
the middle of assembly, place a clean cover over parts. This will prevent them from being contaminated.
–Use paper towels when removing dirt and other foreign materials. Cloth shop towels can leave lint on
cleaned parts that might affect operation of parts.
–Clean disassembled parts (except rubber parts) with kerosene. Drain oil by blowing with air or absorbing
with shop papers.
–Before assembling, apply DEXRONTM III or equivalent to O-rings and seals.
–Replace gaskets and O-rings with new ones. Be careful not to damage any O-rings, oil seals, and gaskets
during assembly.

If following part is scratched after disassembly of steering pump, replace applicable part: case, rear body,
side plate, pulley, rotor, vane, or flow control valve.

Mark source of fluid leak with a white marker for identification.

Seals and copper washers must not be reused.
