Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we are going to show you how to replace the front brakes on this 2004 Nissan Titan. We show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this are: new brake pads and rotor kit from 1AAuto.com, a 14 and 21mm socket and ratchet, a piece of pipe for extra leverage, a hammer, a large C-clamp, jack and jack stands, a torque wrench, brake cleaner, brake grease, and a wire brush. To start off, you want to remove your wheel, so just remove these lug nuts. On this vehicle, it was 19 mm, but because they are not stock wheels, yours may be slightly different. If you don't have air powered tools, you are going to want to loosen the lug nuts preliminarily, raise the vehicle, and then remove them the rest of the way. Once those are removed, your wheel will pull right off.
Now, you want to inspect your brakes, check for any deep grooves in the rotor, check the slip-up here. You can see these are vented. Yours may not have that. Check the life of one brake pad in here and the other one right here.
To remove your caliper, you're going to need to remove these two 14mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don removes those. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the brake pads back in. This will push the caliper piston in and make it easier to remove the caliper. If you go to take it off and it still doesn't come off, you may need to pry a little bit more, and then it will pull off. Just set that aside for now. Then, pry out your brake pads.
Next, remove these two 21mm bolts. We use a piece of pipe for some extra leverage. Once you break them free, you can just remove them the rest of the way. We'll fast forward as Don does this. If your rotor doesn't pull right off, just replace a lug nut and then hammer it from the back of your rotor. Once it breaks free, remove the lug nut and pull your rotor off.
On the left are the old brake pads and rotor. On the right are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they are identical and they are going to fit exactly the same. Using a wire brush, clean off your brake pads slides. Then, check these slides right here and make sure they slide in and out. If they seem kind of tight, just apply some brake grease and slide them back into place. Then, apply brake grease to the tabs on either end of the brake pad. Then, use brake cleaner to wipe down your rotor.
Put an old brake pad on the pistons in your caliper and then using a large C-clamp, just tighten that up, and this will push the caliper pistons back into place. Slide your rotor into place and just replace one lug nut to hold it there. Put your caliper bracket back into place and replace those two 21mm bolts. You want to torque both of those to about 100 foot-pounds.
Now, you want to slide your brake pads back into place. Then, pull your caliper back down and push it into place, making sure that those slides line up with those holes on the caliper. Then, replace those two 14 mm bolts. You want to torque those to about 25 foot-pounds. Now, remove that lug nut you used to hold the rotor in place.
We'll fast forward as Don replaces the wheel and replaces the lug nuts and tightens them up preliminarily. Then, you want to lower the vehicle and tighten those the rest of the way, and torque them in a crossing pattern to 100 foot-pounds. After working on the brakes, before taking your vehicle out on the road, pump the brake pedal until it firms up. Then, try stopping from 5 miles per hour, then 10 miles per hour. Then, you are all set.
