FRONT DISC BRAKE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Disassembly and Assembly of Brake Caliper Assembly (With Brembo Calipers)NFS0000Y
DISASSEMBLY
1. Insert a piece of wood as shown in the figure, blow air in through
the flare nut mounting hole, and remove the piston and piston
boot. If the four pistons do not all come out at the same time,
press the piston(s) that have come out a ways into the cylinder
body and blow air in again.
CAUTION:
Do not get fingers caught in the piston.
2. Remove the piston boot from the piston.
3. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove the piston seal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cylinder inner wall.
Never remove the four bolts from the inner and outer
sides of the caliper. Do not tighten them further, either.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Caliper
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Check for corrosion, wear, or damage to the cylinder inner wall, and replace the caliper if there are
any non-standard conditions.
Piston
CAUTION:
Since the piston surface is plated, do not repair using sandpaper.
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear, and damage. If any non-standard condition is detected,
replace applicable part.

3. As shown in the figure, using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove
the retaining ring from the cylinder body.
4. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure, and blow air from
union bolt mounting hole to remove pistons and piston boots.
CAUTION:
Do not get fingers caught in the piston.
5. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove piston seals from cylin-
der body.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cylinder inner wall.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Check inner wall of cylinder for corrosion, wear, and damage. If any non-standard condition is
detected, replace cylinder body.
Minor flaws caused by corrosion or a foreign material can be removed by polishing the surface
with a 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 damage or deformation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
CAUTION:
Since the piston surface is plated, do not repair using sandpaper.
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear, and damage. If any non-standard condition is detected, replace
applicable part.
Sliding Pin Bolts and Sliding Pin Boots
Check that there is no wear, damage, or cracks in the sliding pin bolts and sliding pin boots, and if there are,
replace them.
