WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazards of airborne particles or other material.

CAUTION:
  • Do not depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the pistons may pop out.
  • It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of brake caliper. For brake pad removal, hang brake caliper with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
  • If brake fluid or grease contact brake caliper or disc brake rotor, quickly wipe it off.

  3. Remove slide pin bolts.
  4. Remove the brake caliper from the torque member. Leaving brake hose attached, reposition the brake caliper aside with wire.

    CAUTION:
    • Do not reuse the pad retainers and anti-rattle clips.
