WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder bod y, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to disconnect brake hose connection except for disassembly or replacement of

• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tools.
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.

4. Support the cylinder body with wire, remove pads, shims, cover and retainers.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to mast er cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid
level in the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the piston.

2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease to knuckle slide where brake pad contacts and to the outer multi-layered
shim, pad retainers and inner shim.
CAUTION:
Do not get grease on the brake pads or brake rotor friction surfaces.
3. Install pads, shims, cover and retainers to cylinder body.
4. Apply rubber grease to the sliding sleeves and install cylinder body, sliding sleeves and sliding pin bolts and tighten to specification. Refer to BR-35, "
Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
5. Check rear disc brake for drag.
6. Install rear wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "
Rotation".
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147919
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid.
• Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or re placing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-35, "

5. Apply matching marks to disc rotor and wheel hub assembly if the disc rotor is to be reused, then remove disc rotor.
CAUTION:
Put matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor
if the disc rotor is to be reused.

Before installing cylinder body to the vehic le, wipe off mating surface of cylinder body.
3. Install brake hose to cylinder body with new copper washers and tighten union bolt to specification.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse copper washers.
• Securely attach brake hose to projection on cylinderbody.
4. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed. Refer to BR-17, "
Bleeding
Brake System".
5. Check rear disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.

CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
Check inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, damage or foreign materials. If any of the above condi-
tions are observed, replace cylinder body.
Minor damage from rust or foreign materials may be el iminated by polishing surface with a fine emery paper.
Replace cylinder body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid for cleaning. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If damage or def ormation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign materials. Replace if any of the above con-
ditions are observed.
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated, do not polish with emery paper even if rust or foreign materials are
stuck to sliding surface.
Sliding Pins, and Sliding Pin Boots
Check sliding pin and sliding pin boot for wear, damage, and cracks. If damage or deformation is present,
replace the affected part.
CAUTION:
Trailing/upper slidi ng pin must be replaced at each service.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not use NISSAN Rubber Grease ( KRE00 00010, KRE00 00010 01) when assembling.
1. Install the bleeder valve and cap.
2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease to new piston seals and insert seals into grooves on cylinder body.

wall.
5. Apply rubber grease and insert into cylinder body by hand and insert piston bo\
ot piston-side lip into piston groove.
CAUTION:
Press pistons evenly and vary the pr essing point to prevent cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
