Brought to you by 1AAuto.com. Your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how to video help you out. The next time you need a part for your vehicle think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks. In this video we show you how to replace the rear brakes on this 2003 Nissan Altima, pretty much the same for any 2002 to 2006. We show you the right hand, the left hand is the same procedure. We do always recommend you replace your brakes in pairs.
The items you'll need for this repair are new brakes pads and rotor kit from 1A Auto.com; 8, 12, 14, 19 and 21 mm sockets with a ratchet. A piece of pipe for some extra leverage. Brake cleaner, brake grease, brake fluid, jack and jack stands and a torque wrench. Raise and remove your wheel and tire. If you don't have the benefit of air tools, loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground, then raise and support it and remove the lug nuts the rest of the way. Inspect your brakes. You can look through and see the brake pads, and there's not much left to the brake pads on this vehicle and the rotor is in rough shape, pretty corroded with some large gouges. To just replace the pads you can see we took that top bolt out, but we're going to take the whole rotor off because it's actually frozen on this car.
Its two 19 mm bolts and you can see we use a 19 mm socket with a ratchet and a pipe for some extra leverage. You'll need to do this if you want to replace the rotor anyways, because you need to take the whole caliper bracket off in order to get the rotor off. Once the bolts are removed, using a flat blade screwdriver pry that off. Then you can set that aside. Your old rotor pulls right off. You want to use a flat blade screwdriver and pop this plug out of the rotor. Spray down your emergency brake assembly with some brake cleaner. Now using brake cleaner wipe down your new rotor. Then you put some brake grease on either end of your brake pads. You can see here's your adjuster for your other brake and that hole in the rotor is so you can reach the adjuster with a screwdriver. Turn it until you feel the parking brake drag on the inside a little bit; once adjusted then you can replace the plug. As we said before, our caliper was in bad shape. We ended up having to replace it, but you can ad lib along with us. You can put your caliper back in place.
Take the pads out of your caliper, and then put the caliper back in place. Put the two 19 mm bolts in place and then tighten them up to 85 - 90 foot pounds. Now you want to remove this 14 mm bolt right here. Once the bolt's removed pull your caliper back and then push, your brake pad slides into place. Once the sides are in place you can put your brake pads back in and push your caliper back into place and replace that 14mm bolt. Fast forward as we tighten that bolt back up to 25 foot pounds. - to your brake lines. Now we're going to fast forward here as Don replaces the wheel. You want to put the lug nuts on preliminarily. Lower the vehicle and tighten them the rest of the way. Now torque the lug nuts to a 100 foot pounds in a crossing pattern. After doing any repair on the brakes, before taking it out onto the road it's important to do a couple of things first. First you want to pump the brakes until the brake pedal firms up. Then you want to do a stop test from five miles per hour and then 10 miles per hour.

Remove the hubcap. Use a pry bar or a pry tool. Use a 21-millimeter socket to take the lug nuts off and remove the wheel. Remove this lower bolt on the caliper, attaching it to the bracket. This bolts because of the brake hose. We're gonna leave that one in. Use a 14-millimeter socket. Take that out. Just rotate the caliper up and slide it off. Leave that pin attached to the caliper.
Take the brake caliper. Find a position where the hose is not being stretched. Lay the caliper down or use a brake caliper hanger. Take the brake pads off. Just use a screwdriver, or sometimes they slide right off. These are rusted in there. Take these two caliper bracket bolts out. Use a 17-millimeter socket. And slide the bracket off. Take this little plug off the rotor. Use a pick or a screwdriver. Save that, you're gonna use that on the other rotor. And take the rotor off, just use a hammer if it's stuck on there. Hitting these locations. Just be careful, don't hit the studs. And slide it off.
Clean up some of the hub surface to get some of that rust off. Either use a wire brush or a sanding disc. Just take some brake parts cleaner, clean that up. You can put a thin coat of anti-seize on the hub surface. It looks good. Take the rotor, just install it backwards first. Take a little brake parts cleaner, clean the backside of the rotor. Wipe it down with a rag. And flip the rotor over. It looks good. Now clean this side and wipe it down.
If you have to adjust the parking brake, the adjuster is down here. Install the plug. That's another way you can adjust the parking brake in that area. You can take that off and use a screwdriver. Now, take the pad hardware off. Just use a pick or a screwdriver. Take a wire brush, remove some of this rust. Use a little brake clean. And wipe it down.
Take a little brake grease. Take the brake hardware and line it up. And then do the same for the other side. Now, take the brake caliper guide pin or the caliper bolt. Clean that up. Use a little brake parts cleaner. If it's really bad, you can use a wire brush on it to clean some of that up, clean some of the rust off. And do the same, the one that's attached to the caliper. And because this was fairly rusty, I'm gonna clean these caliper guide holes out.
Then you can use a rag, clean that out, do the same on this side. And take some brake caliper grease and grease the slide up or the pin up. Just take a thin coat of brake caliper grease, just put it on the slides. Do the same on the other side. And take the bracket, slide it over the rotor. Take those bolts. Get those started. And torque those bolts to 62-foot pounds.
Now, take the brake pads. The one with the warning indicator is gonna go on the inside and the indicator is gonna be towards the bottom. Slide that in position and then the other one on the outboard side. And take that brake caliper and use a caliper compressor tool. Compress the caliper, just do it nice and slow. Use some brake caliper lube on that. I'm gonna pin right there.
Now, take the brake caliper and slide that pin into the bracket. Make sure that seals. And slide it down. Take the other pin and just slide it in position. And torque this bolt to 32-foot pounds. And if you loosened up this top one, torque that one as well. And put the wheel back on and the lug nuts.
Now, torque the lug nuts to 80-foot pounds in a star pattern to tighten the wheel down evenly. Just go around again, double-check. And line the hubcap up in the valve stem, reinstall the hubcap. Make sure you pump the brake pedal nice and slow, and double-check your brake fluid level.
