INSTALLATION
■ WARNING ■
Clean any dust from the brake caliper and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with compressed air.
■ CAUTION ■

- Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the piston may pop out.
- Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. Because the brake fluid returns to the reservoir tank of master cylinder when pressing the piston.
- When replacing the brake pad, replace it together with the disc rotor and replace the brake pads of all wheels as a set. [However, the brake pads can be separately replaced only when a certified technician checks for scratches and cracks and judges that the brake disc rotors are reusable. (For the disc rotor, two sets of brake pad at a maximum.) Refer to Inspection and Adjustment and Inspection (GT-R certified NISSAN dealer).

1.Use a brake caliper wrench [SST: KV991112S0 (J-49023)] to press back the piston when replacing the brake pad.

2.Install brake pad to caliper.
■ CAUTION ■

- The brake pad is directional. Never mistake the direction.

  | : Disc rotor rotation (front of vehicle) direction

- Never damage the piston boot.

3.Install the tie-rod.
■ CAUTION ■
Tighten the tie-rod mounting bolt while it is installed to the tie-rod stopper groove of caliper.

4.Insert the pad pin (upper side) from the inner side of caliper, and then install it to the outer side of caliper through the upper hole of brake pad.
■ CAUTION ■

- Never damage the caliper.
- Install the pad pin to fix on the metal bushing.

5.Install the cross spring to the tie-rod (lower side).
■ CAUTION ■
Install the cross spring with the arrow mark facing downward.

6.Insert the pad pin (lower side) from the inner side of caliper while pressing the bottom of the cross spring (1) in, and then install it to the outer side of caliper through the upper hole of brake pad.
■ CAUTION ■

- Never damage the caliper.
- Install the pad pin to fix on the metal bushing.

7.Depress the brake pedal several times to check that no drag is present for the front disc brake. Refer to Inspection (GT-R certified NISSAN dealer).

8.Check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir tank. Refer to Inspection.

9.Perform the air bleeding and adjustment when replacing the brake pad and disc rotor. Refer to Bleeding Brake System, Inspection and Adjustment.
