Have 04 coupe brembos gonna change the rotors on all 4, i know you gotta depress the piston on the brembos and the remember the fluid level going up when i change the pads before... since i have to do it again to change rotors do I need to bleed or do something so the fluid wont over flow when I depress the pistons? Thanks

 

No. The fluild shouldn't overfow unless you or someone else has topped it off while the brake pads were low. You don't have to open up the pad space that much anyway

 

No but keep in mind brake fluid is supposed to be replaced every 30K miles just like all fluids in your Infiniti. That insures your calipers stay healthy and no moisture shows up in the brake fluid. You don't want to spend the $$ it takes to replace Brembo calipers!

wow.. looks like im behind im at 94k never change the fluid on the brakes... What brake fluid do you guys recommend ??

 

Nissan OE fluid works fine since you're not on the track every weekend.

so just go to a nissan dealership? autozone is down the road anything i can get from there?

 

yea u can actually just use a turkey baster and suck all the old brake fluid out urself and fill it with new.. u can do it a few times to get it all clean// its not the best way but it works good..

 

Valvoline synthetic. Available at any auto store. Good quality and cheap.

 

but then i gotta bleed the lines so the new fluid goes through? Cuz i can get a syringe n just suck it up but the fluid in the lines will still be old.

 

Yeah, it would take way too long for the fluid in the reservoir to "circulate" to the caliper, especially the pass rear. Mine rear pass caliper froze after a brake job at 90kish miles. I'm certain it was never flushed.

That said, replacing the fluid in the reservoir is ten times better than doing nothing at all, but it's nothing compared to 1+ quarts in the whole system.

I would do a flush before the brake job. I had tons of crap in my lines (corroded nasty stuff) that came out when I flushed at every corner.

PSA: There has been talk on the forum of ATE fluids deteriorating rubber seals prematurely. I used prestone fluid from Advance. If I ever get the system hot enough to cook the brakes I'll have bigger problems to worry about, like how to fund a BBK.

 

I only have to open the one valve on each brembo to let the fluid flow through right?

How about a normal valvoline dot3&4 brake fluid?
