Nissan Repair: brake rotors, nissan alitma, coathanger


Question
I need some instructions on changing the brake rotors on a 1997 nissan alitma.  Can you help me?

Answer
Don,

Jack up the car and use stands.  Block the tires and take the front wheels off.  Take the calipers off by disconnecting the two bolts and then hang them with a a coathanger from the spring.  Do not let them hang by the hose.  Now, take the tork member off, that is the thing the caliper bolts to.  With this off the rotors will come off.  Replacement is reverse of disassembly.
