How to Change the Brakes on an Infiniti G20

The Infiniti is a fairly new brand of car, officially arriving on the market in the U.S. in 1989. Infiniti is the luxury branch of the popular Japanese parent company Nissan. Because Infiniti's name is not used in Japan, they are typically sold under the Nissan brand. Though these cars are considered luxury vehicles, their maintenance is very easy, and just about anyone can perform routine maintenance, such as refilling the oil or changing the brakes.

Instructions

1

Use a tire iron to turn the lug nuts on the wheels counterclockwise one full turn.

2

Use a jack to raise the Infiniti. Place the jack under the support strut on the side you are working on located near the edge of the frame.

3

Lower the car onto the jack stands. Once the car is lowered from the jack, remove the lug nuts completely as well as the tire. Set these both aside.

4

Remove the caliper mounting bracket by removing the two bolts that secure it with a socket wrench. Using twine, hang the bracket from the undercarriage of the car to prevent stress on the brake line.

5

Remove the brakes by wiggling then pulling them free from the caliper assembly.

6

Use the caliper compression tool to compress the caliper.

7

Place the new brakes into the assembly and reattach the caliper mounting bracket.

8

Reattach the wheel to the rotor. Tighten the lugs then lower the car to the ground. Finish by turning all the lugs until secure.
