No grease needed on the brake pad pins? I did the brakes & rotors myself. My friend is a mechanic and told me I should add grease to the pins to avoid metal to metal contact on the brake pads. This video was so helpful!
Hey, I've got a 2012 FX50S and had a hard time finding a video that did more than just pads on these sport brakes. Your video is really well done, the perfect length and your text notes are super helpful. First time i've seen a caliper with "hard" lines like this, I was so confused. Thanks for taking the time and posting! What torque spec did you use on all those 12mm bolts/nut?
Thanks for this. Ready to do mine on my 2010 G37S (typical 66K mile first time for fronts - backs can usually last a bit longer) I also do a complete brake fluid flush, As for the Grease applications - as some have asked, a tiny bit is all you need with caution to not get it on the pads. There are many who say no need for it and as many that say apply it.
I put a lot of brake grease on the back of the brake pads when I rebuilt my calipers after getting mine. Haven't had any squeakiness at all until now when the pads need changed.
@@whuzup3 no problem man I just did the job my self the morning and my dad is a triple certified master tech mechanic so I was sure to ask him plenty of questions since I’m still learning 😄
Great video. I subscribed too. I’m about to do this. Thank you!!!! Very helpful. I like the tip on thread lock and anitseize compound among other things.
I was so confused on what to do for these opposing pressure brake pads but this made me realize how easy it is to do them, unfortunately I got the wrong brakes anyone know what size pin holes does are to get something to hammer the pins out and replace only the brakes?
I’ve followed the steps but when I take my wheel off for my car, there’s an extra metal piece in front of what looks like at 0:27? How can I take that piece off
i’m looking for pads for my G37S with the Akebono’s as well.. and can’t find the specific pads. the ones that say for look different than the ones you used… thank you
Question does that work on 2017 Infiniti . I am having a hard time trying to find a video on how to change brake rotors and pads on my 2017 Infiniti q 70l
This is depends if you have sport or base model car. Check out this web site, maybe choose your car year and model. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/infiniti,2008,g37,3.7l+v6,1441475,brake+&+wheel+hub,brake+pad,1684
Bleeding brakes must be done if there was any leakage or replacement of any brake components, when the integrity of the brake system was compromised and fluid leaked out, while air entered the system.
Hey random question but I switched my gauge cluster and all of a sudden my breaks are applying abs on their own only when I first start the car and take off and when I turn. the break light has been coming on more and more progressively long before the swap. i'm hoping it has nothing to do with the cluster or electronics and it's mechanical in the breaks. could it be they are fkd in some way?? side note I also lost my horn and button controls on my steering wheel. so rly messed me up doing that cluster swap. swapped back to original all same issues. anyone can help?? also note I do donuts in the car all the time and could of weirdly worn out the breaks. but then why the hell are they applying themselves on their own. gona open them up soon to look. hope I find something..
Best vid I’ve seen for Sport brakes. My bro and I are going to change my brakes on my Q50(Sport) for the first time.
Thank you! And good luck with you brakes!
I change the brakes on my Honda all the time but I’m afraid to mess with my g37 because they’re really expensive
Thank you for taking the time to make this. It has helped out tremendously. Cheers!
Thank you for watching!
Don't forget to pump the brake pedal until it get stiff. 💪🏽 Awesome video. I will be doing mine spring time.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot I’m finally about to do something for my mom , she finally trusts me since I rebuilt my engine 😭
😁😂

Thank you for watching! You can apply some grease on brake pads holes not on the pins.
At the beginning the video the cross spring is different than how you installed it at the end, which is correct?
Wow! I didn't even notice that! Correct way is how I installed the cross spring at the end.
I’m thoroughly impressed!
This video is Fire I’m going outside and doing my breaks right now thank you my mike’s garage👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you for watching! I used 20 Nm of torque on those bolts.
@@mikes.garage excellent thanks a ton, keep up the good work!

Thanks man, great diy video!

Great video, I appreciate you! 👍
Thank you! 😊
Great video man!!!
Thanks!
Great vidio learned everything I need in 5 min

Excellent video
@@KentParker-rl2lo Thanks!
Do you not use any brake lubricant grease? Was told these brakes can get really screachy/noisy and should be applied?
I put a lot of brake grease on the back of the brake pads when I rebuilt my calipers after getting mine. Haven't had any squeakiness at all until now when the pads need changed.
Great video. Shame it only has 450 views. 👌
Thank you!
This video is absolutely great👍🏽. I have one question though. When installing the cotter pin do you insert both ends into the hole of the slider pin?
Just repeat same way as on video
@@mikes.garage I tried to get a good look but it's hard to tell in the video. Thanks for the response 👍🏽
@@whuzup3 only the straight prong goes into the pin

Totally just realized my cross spring was backwards, maybe that will fix my issue. Awesome video!

There is shouldn't be anything else. Maybe you have a different style of brakes.
Great video I’m doing my friends brake pads and rotors on Friday is this the same way for the rears as well
Thank you for watching! Rear brakes is a little different.
How different are they?
i’m looking for pads for my G37S with the Akebono’s as well.. and can’t find the specific pads. the ones that say for look different than the ones you used… thank you
Same here bro have you found any ???
@@OfficialGoldenboy yessir i found the part number from Akebono…
Front is ACT1346
Rear is ACT1347
z1MotorSport
@@vqdrew1171 i ended up using Z1 lol
When looking for brakes online i see in the description with or without Brembo brakes. I thought the S comes with Akebono brakes
Get them from z1
Can’t get the right nut off (1:44), tried pvc plaster but the nut is stripped. Tried an 11mm but won’t work either. Any suggestions?
Try vise grip. This is the easiest way to remove stripped bolts.
@@mikes.garage thanks, I’ll try that
Great Video. Are you suppose to grease the brake pads where it press the piston?
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can grease brake pads at the back if you want.
Question does that work on 2017 Infiniti . I am having a hard time trying to find a video on how to change brake rotors and pads on my 2017 Infiniti q 70l
If the brakes looks similar to this, then it could work.
Very nice video
Thank you for watching!
Thank you mike !!!
Thank you for watching!
What size rotors do you need for front and back with akebono brakes?
Front 355mm
Rear 350mm
I have a 2008 G37S what size rotors would fit ??
You need to measure you brake rotors or call and ask dealer for part number.
Hi what size are the rotors ? I'm curious as I need to buy rotors and not sure
Hi, you need to check the parts for your car year and model as parts can be different.
Whats the part number on the brake pads? Every time I go to an auto parts store and ask for brake pads they always give me something smaller...
This is depends if you have sport or base model car. Check out this web site, maybe choose your car year and model. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/infiniti,2008,g37,3.7l+v6,1441475,brake+&+wheel+hub,brake+pad,1684
Bro order from Z1 motorsports
Right? They always give me the wrong one
How about 2011 g37 coupe?
Very nice thanks
do i bleed the brakes before or after ?
You can bleed brakes after replacing pads and rotors, but this is not necessary if you don't have any problems with your brake system.
Does this video apply to IPL brake pads also?
Not really.
same process for the rear ?
If you have the same style brakes at the back, then yes.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for Watching!
Is it 98 ft torque for rear to??
It's should be less
17寸轮毂可以安装英菲尼迪的4活塞卡钳吗？
I don't think so
So at what point do people bleed the brakes?
Bleeding brakes must be done if there was any leakage or replacement of any brake components, when the integrity of the brake system was compromised and fluid leaked out, while air entered the system.
Hey random question but I switched my gauge cluster and all of a sudden my breaks are applying abs on their own only when I first start the car and take off and when I turn. the break light has been coming on more and more progressively long before the swap. i'm hoping it has nothing to do with the cluster or electronics and it's mechanical in the breaks. could it be they are fkd in some way??
side note I also lost my horn and button controls on my steering wheel. so rly messed me up doing that cluster swap. swapped back to original all same issues. anyone can help??
also note I do donuts in the car all the time and could of weirdly worn out the breaks. but then why the hell are they applying themselves on their own. gona open them up soon to look. hope I find something..
You need to scan your car. Maybe you have broken wire somewhere. I don't think cluster is the issue.
What was the spray that you used
Do you mean WD40?
@@mikes.garage no the other can I believe it was brakeleem well that’s what I bought any way 😂
@@RaGodTheBlackSwan That was a brake cleaner. 😁
Wher you buy the rotor thanks
You can buy them at Ebay or Rockauto.com
@@mikes.garage thank you I like your videos
@@alexcuenca45 Thank you for watching!
Was your shifter shaking as a result of bad brake pads and rotors?
Steering wheel was shaking when I was braking but not a shifter. You may have transmission problem or worn out clutch if you have manual transmission.
You dont have to bleed the brakes ??
Not necessarily but you can if you want.
Lets say theyve never changed the rotors in a 10 yr old infiniti would you recommend bleeding them at that point ?
@@ravenXcozmo Sure, you can bleed brakes. Recommended to change brake fluid every 2 years to keep the brake system clean and get rid of the moisture.
@@mikes.garage thanks mike
@@ravenXcozmodid you bleed before or after changing them ?
How did you compress the caliper piston back so you could fit the pads in the caliper ?
I used 2 big flat screwdrivers and showed it in a video
@@mikes.garagedon’t you have to compress the calipers after installing the new break pads?
Можно номер тормозных колодок? Спасибо.
