How to replace the front brake pads on the Nissan Primastar.

Model: Nissan Primastar MK 1 - Years 2001-2016
Part: Brake pads

In this guide, we will see how to disassemble and replace the front brake pads of the Nissan Primastar. First, we lift the vehicle and start by removing the front wheel; then we proceed to unscrew the two screws securing the front brake caliper, applying pressure to the caliper piston to remove it, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the old brake pads, cleaning the caliper of any residual dirt; we then install the new original brake pads, finally reassembling the caliper onto the disc. We will replace the other front brake pads in the same manner.
