Removal and Installation of Brake Pad: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicon- based grease to the rear of the pad and to both sides of the shim, and attach the inner shim and shim cover to the inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim cover to the outer pad.
Attach the pad retainer and pad to the torque member.
Push the piston in so that the pad is attached and attach the cylinder body to the torque member.
NOTE: Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), etc., makes it easier to push in the piston.

CAUTION: By pushing in the piston, the brake fluid returns to the master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the level of the surface of the reservoir tank.
Install the sliding pin bolt (one on top) and tighten to the specified torque.
Check brake for drag.
Install the tires to the vehicle.
