Just another run of the mill brake pad and rotor replacement. This time it is on the back of a Nissan Murano. These are a little tricky to get the rear calipers of but not to bad. -Enjoy!

Thanks for the videos. I always go to them when working on my vehicles. Keep us updated on parts and the ones hard to find. I am from mansfield ohio and know the weather conditions make cars hard to work on. I differently appreciate the electircal problems you diagnose. Makes me realize i can do this work my self. When i should let a professional like you work with it.!
Very thorough instructions I thought this video was great. Thanks now I’ll have to try it on mine. Gabe
Great video and directions.
Nice.
"Don't follow this video for instructions" had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I so thankful that we dont have as much trouble with rust whereI live. We do have to be careful buying used vehicles here that come from Michigan and other northern states.
Thoroughly enjoyable video! Great job and great commentary. Will be doing this on my wife’s Murano this week
i wont drive a nissan, unless ford gets realy stupid
"Wrenching like the amish"😂
Thanks for the video. Do you crack the Master Cylinder so you are able to push the piston back?
Why is it when you say the name Nissan you say it in a manner as if you hate or dislike the brand so much. My Nissan will be the next million mile vehicle.
On a positive note I do admire your quality of work, and attention to details.
do you think a 20 year plumber can do this job himself? i have all the tools except the lift
I must be honest. I painted my brake pads with brake grease and I ended up warping my rotors. rookie mistake.
so when you gave the disclaimer I looked around embarrassingly.
Oh to late wish I'd have known that before I ran over that honda….
I don't hear ding dong I hear moonnn eee
I may be weird but I enjoy doing brakes and suspension rebuilds, they're oddly satisfying…
I don't enjoy doing exhaust systems…
You torque stuff to factory specs like I do, by feel. I've never had anything fall off my brakes.
Excellent video.
The heaven without rust is called California
I have a Murano and you can get the lower caliper bolt if you jack up the rear tire a bit to clear the control arm
I got 9 years out of the factory battery in my Honda Accord. She was cranking slower and slower, so I ordered a battery from Sears and went to pick it up. I went to the normal place you pick up orders, but discovered I had to go across the parking lot to the Sears automotive center. Went out to my car… and she wouldn't start! Walked across the parking lot, picked up the new battery, carried it back to my car, installed it, dropped off the old one, and drove home. I guess I got as much life out of that battery as I could!
Murano's look simple. Famous last words!
13.40 ”that will stop the sqeakin 😂
Eric, you edited out repositioning the rotor so the adjuster lined up… 😉
I love watching your brake and rotor videos keep on making them!!
Sir how many miles on the Murano.
“Amish style” brilliant!
Altima is the same way. Never pull control arm. Take the bracket off with the caliper. Assemble the pads on the bracket after collapsing the caliper. You can remove rotor while it's all out if the way
I always grease the hub also to prevent the rotor from sticking next time.
Hey how's it going buddy!!! I always watch your videos and I'm amazed all the time by your work. You are such a good honest mechanic and I'd love to bring my vehicle to u to get it repaired. I just wanted to ask you if you knew how far it is to get to u..?! I live in rochester new york and I was wondering how far of a drive is it to u.. Let me know when u get a chance please!! I have a 2006 jeep srt8 and I have the code u0100 and I keep having stalling issues and loss of power for a split second when I floor it all the way . the code says miscommunication with the pcm . thank you in advance .
Really cool and informative video buddy, and a great brake job.
Thanks and keep on wrenching 👍
Question: Why does the squeaker go on the inside?
Had a mechanic I go to tell me I needed inner and outer tie rods on both sides to fix the shaking so I took it to another all I needed were new tires
That's interesting to see a window put into the rotor to get at the parking brake adjustment screw. With the loss of metal from drilling out that hole, the rotor would have a mass imbalance, so I wonder if they put a compensating weight on the inside to rebalance the rotor. Or, maybe with rotors being so light and thin these days, it isn't significant….
The one caliper pin had a black tip, where does the black tip go? On the top or bottom and what does it do?? Why different??
You ever thing about using marine products (lubricants or parts/fasteners) on certain vehicles to combat rust. More expensive i know- but its getting to the point where they should start putting zincs on vehicle frames from factory 🤣
I had my brake cleaner in my hand, just waiting for the moment you brought yours out but that moment never came…………..crying big tears.
Before tightening to factory specs were you tempted to put Loctite on the caliper bracket bolts? They seemed to have been coated with something when you removed them. Also, just to upstage the Buick, my 11 year old Jeep GC diesel (180,000 km or about 108,000 miles) still has the original battery, brakes, shocks and struts which are still all good. More vehicles like this could put mechanics out of business. So far it has only needed a serpentine belt and tires but it has a few rust blisters on the fenders as we use a lot of road salt in Canada too. I enjoy your channel, good camera work, great commentary and lots of nice tools. I don't have as many wrenches, but what I do have gets used because I also have a 2004 Dakota with 140,000 on which everything needs to be replaced again.
Eric I love you and your videos but please no more brake job videos for a little while
Eric, i am coming up on 8 years on an ac delco battery. Going to try to get as long as i can out of it. Lol
You must do more brake jobs then alignments.
I'm glad you did this vid. It's been common for Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia to bury the caliper bolts, and even saddle bolts, behind their multi-link rear suspension for several yrs. Alot of DIY guys take a whole pile of stuff apart, when a bit of strategy is all it takes.
Test drive and music awesome and fast 🙂 BUT…brake job with no brake cleaner?!?!?
I LIVE IN HEAVEN!!!! But I come from about 40 miles North of you and don't miss rust and slush one damn bit!!
11 years on a battery? Here in the Mohave desert I feel lucky to get 3 years out of one. The 115* summers really suck the life out of them.
I've come to really dislike Nissans, but that looked fairly straightforward … aside from all the room they give you to remove the caliper pins, lol. Reminds me of a Ford Expedition front end component (can't recall if it was the upper or lower control arm) – they could've put the bolt in from the opposite direction, so that it could be removed … but NOoooooo … they had to install it in the direction of the frame! Just like that car you did where you had to drop the whole cradle to extract a couple bolts. Never been so mad in my life on that job. Ford engineer's ears were ringing that day!
Never saw the red stuff before. I've been using the purple stuff for close to 10 years. Works great. I'm one of those people that isn't big on changing things. I still eat 4 scrambled eggs for breakfast, as I have for over 30 years now … and I get the same meals – every time – at McD's, BK, and Subway whenever I go to those places. Probably why I get so mad at auto engineers – they change things 3x a model year! 😁
Trying to catch up on my Youtube vids – just not enough hours in a day. Still trying to get caught up work wise. Fixed a Stihl FS80, a Husqvarna, and Poulan (chin-saw) saw, a Kubota TG1860, a J/D LX172, a Polaris 90 ATV, cooling fan in a PT Cruiser (which later melted down for unknown reasons after it puked all it's coolant out – towed that toilet here today with a blown head gasket … and got to lay down in a nice, warm parking lot puddle full of tobacco spit and some kind of pee, to hook up my winch to the rear axle … and got to make TWO trips, since I forgot the keys the first time …🤬 ), mounted & balanced a front tire for a Yamaha Roadstar 1700, and fixed and delivered another J/D, an old White, and a fancy Simplicity Prestige 4×4. It's lawn season!! Haven't even started my RD350 since October! Blaspheme!! I still have to do a strut overhaul, rear shocks, and redo a modification I made to the OD solenoid in the tranny in the Volvo. Solenoid fails and kicks you into 3rd gear while you're doing 80 on the highway – great design there. I fixed that by cutting a slot from one port to another in the solenoid … but I guess it wasn't big enough. Works great when warm … but when cold, it won't hit OD until you hit 4,500 rpm. The Dremel cookie wasn't thick enough I figure – another pass next to it should do it. 👍 That solenoid's only job is to allow manual shifting (by button) from OD to 3rd (same thing mashing the pedal to the floor will do). Saw no use for that, so was easier & cheaper than replacing the failed solenoid.
Somewhere, some place, there was someone who lubed up their pads and rotors, and then attempted to sue Permatex! I'd bet on that! They probably lived in MA, too … 🤣
