Removal and Installation of Brake Pad: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Push pistons in so that pad is firmly installed and mount cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE: Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), makes it easier to push in piston.

CAUTION: By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the level of the surface of reservoir tank.
Attach pad retainers to torque member.
NOTE: Apply Molykote M-77 to pad retainers where brake pads contact.

CAUTION: When attaching a pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it does not float up higher than torque member, as shown in the figure.
