In this article, you will learn how to replace the rear brake pads on the Nissan Qashqai 1st generation. First, open the bonnet and remove the brake fluid reservoir cap. Next, loosen the wheel nuts on the rear wheels.

Lift the car using a jack; if you have two jacks, lift the car from both sides. Once the car is raised, completely remove the wheel nuts and take off the wheels.

Now, use a flathead screwdriver to unlock the brake caliper by levering on the designated pin to retract the piston, allowing the caliper to move. Using a 14mm spanner, remove the lower caliper bolt, then remove the upper bolt as well.

You may need to lift the caliper slightly to remove it. At this point, remove the caliper to access the brake pads. Use the flathead screwdriver to slide the pads out for removal.

Replace the pads, reinsert the caliper, and screw back the bolts you previously removed. Refit the wheels and close the brake fluid reservoir.

The procedure will be complete.
