In this video I demonstrate how to properly replace the front brake pads on a 2003-2006 Infiniti G35 or Nissan 350Z (nearly identical procedure). This video shows the process on a 2006 G35 sedan. This is an easy task if you have the required tools, and should only take you 30-60 minutes.
I am using Akebono ceramic pads, which I have been using on my family's vehicles for the past 8 years with great success. Low dusting, no noise, good longevity, and reasonable initial cold bite if bedded in properly.
Torque specs:
- 18-22 ft-lbs for front slide pin bolts
- 113 ft-lbs for front caliper bracket bolts (you shouldn't need to touch these if only replacing pads)
- 80 ft-lbs for lug nuts
Be sure to properly bed-in your brake pads after installation, especially if you are not replacing or resurfacing the rotors at the same time. A proper bed-in will not only ensure the greatest stopping power, but will also reduce the likelihood of a condition commonly mistaken as "warped rotors." If you are interested in the details, the below article form StopTech does a great job explaining the importance of bedding in your brake pads.

Thanks for the time you put In, really appreciate it. Now you have me the confidence to tackle my first pad swap
I didn't know about pressing brakes at the end to return calipers to touch pads.guess that's why my accord feels funny on the brakes since I replaced them.going to be doing the G this weekend.thanks.👍
Thank you so much for the detailed video. Much appreciated.

Take my like

Oh thank God I'm used to pre 95 cars and I thought I was gonna have to deal with some computer lol
My 01 firebird brakes are almost the exact same, honestly as an infinity I though there would be some weird bolt or sensor on them lol
Damn u made that look easy
Thanks Tim
Give thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video!! Saw exactly what I needed! Anyone know why the bottom slide pin has that rubber sleeve? I was changing the pads and the bottom slide was seized. I could see that the boot had come unseated and it was a little rusty under. It would still spin but it wouldn't move at all in or out so I had to pound on it to get it loose and got it out to see that rubber sleeve. It had a little tear on it. It wasn't sliding back in easily so I came online to see if it was not supposed to be pulled all the way out.
Seized pin from swollen rubber caused by improper lube used during the last brake job.
thanks for the vid, doing mine tomorrow
Thanks Tim. You should do a vid on how to make a vid. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Awesome video
Great video
Great video! Anything special I need to know about swapping out the rear pads as well? Thanks!
What is considered "moderate driving" to bed-in? Because once I do this one Saturday morning, I've got to do some highway driving for an hour later that afternoon. If I don't slam on the brakes while driving on the highway, will that be considered "moderate driving"?
Can I just take the pads off and put new ones on and grease and oil?
my rotor is rubbing the center of the bottom pad bracket. ugh lol i gotta pull the tires off and do it again
Hey man the nuts of the brakes its to hard to open what should i do... plz help
You might need a long handled wrench/breaker bar.
If you turn your wheel outward, it'll free up space for the longer wrench.

the spring tab came out of the loop
I just installed these brakes and new rotors as well and my brakes are knocking when braking at low speeds is this normal?
Who's there?
Is there a difference in rotor size between the 03 and 07?
Are both caliper guides short?
What kinda jack is that?
is it normal for the rotor to screech when you spin it with new pads?
Did you ever find out??
@@nastyshots2578 its normal
What order should I go in when replacing the rotors as well as the brake pads?
Whatever is most convenient for you - order doesn't matter.
@@timwong3532 do you know the torque specs for the caliper bolts? I've heard mixed things online and i don't have a service manual
@@Mrcool179 113 ft-lbs for the front caliper bolts.
@@timwong3532 Hi Tim. Thanks for the video. 5 hours later and I finished my front brakes and rotors on my 2003 infiniti g35 sedan :(. The caliper guide pins were completely seized and not moving and required a blow torch and some immense muscle to get undone and lubricate. The entire assembly was pretty rusted which made it alot harder to do. And when i put my brake pads into the brake hardware they did not have any springiness even though i threaded them through that metal piece. I changed the rotor and pads because I was hearing a rhythmic scraping sound and i assumed it was a warped rotor. Well, upon replacing the brand new looking brake pads and slightly worn rotor I found that the sound is still there :( Any thoughts? Im thinking it might be the dust shield scraping along the inside? Otherwise im completely lost as to what it could be. Im also hearing a really intense grinding sound from the rear and im not sure what it could be! Are you able to do a video on the rear brakes and parking brake system? Thanks again for the helpful video, i referenced it throughout this ordeal :(
@@Mrcool179 did you ever find out what happened?
Why would you put new pads on without resurfacing the rotors, you will get uneven wear on the new pads.
