• Q: How to replace the front Brake Pad Set on a 2015 Nissan Juke?

  A: Firmly apply the handbrake, jack up the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on axle stands before removing the front roadwheels. On one side of the vehicle, push the caliper piston into its bore by pulling the caliper outwards. Unscrew the caliper lower guide pin bolt, using a slim open-ended spanner if necessary, and then remove the bolt. Pivot the caliper body upwards to expose the brake pads and secure it in place, taking care not to depress the brake pedal until the caliper is refitted and avoiding strain on the brake fluid hose. Note the locations and orientation of the shims and anti-rattle clips fitted to the pads, then lift out the brake pads and shims, followed by the anti-rattle clips. Separate the shims from the brake pads, noting that certain models have two shims fitted to the inner pad. Measure the thickness of each brake pad's friction material; if either pad is worn to the specified minimum thickness or less, all four pads must be renewed, and any pads fouled with oil or grease should also be replaced. If the brake pads are still serviceable, clean them carefully with a fine wire brush, paying attention to the sides and back of the metal backing, and clean the anti-rattle clips, shims, and brake pad locations in the caliper body or mounting bracket. Before fitting the pads, ensure the guide pins slide easily in the caliper body and that the rubber guide pin gaiters are undamaged. Brush dust and dirt from the caliper and piston, inspecting the dust seal for damage and the piston for leaks or corrosion. If new brake pads are to be fitted, push the caliper piston back into the cylinder using a G-clamp or suitable levers, monitoring the master cylinder reservoir to prevent spillage. Refit the upper and lower anti-rattle clips to the caliper mounting bracket, then apply a little anti-squeal brake grease to the contact surfaces of the pad backing plates and shims, ensuring no grease contacts the pad friction linings. Refit the pads and shims in their original positions, ensuring the pad friction material is against the disc, then pivot the caliper back into position over the pads and mounting bracket. Refit and tighten the caliper lower guide pin bolt to the specified torque, checking that the caliper body slides smoothly on the guide pins. Repeat the procedure on the remaining front caliper, and once both sets of front brake pads are refitted, depress the brake pedal repeatedly until the pads are firmly in contact with the brake disc and normal pedal pressure is restored. Refit the roadwheels and lower the vehicle to the ground, finally checking the brake hydraulic fluid level. New pads will not provide full braking efficiency until they have bedded in, so avoid hard braking for the first hundred miles after renewal.
