Make sure you use the correct lube. The slide pins have a rubber part on the end and the wrong lube will cause it to swell and make it stick.disallow wrote:Hey all,
My rear rotors seem to be a bit warped, and we just bought the Rogue in February, so I decided to do pads and rotors all around.
The front rotors were actually not in terrible shape, but I changed them out anyways.
Got parts for all 4 corners from RockAuto:
Brand Part Number Part Type Price EA Quantity Total Total
RAYBESTOS 980113R Rotor CAD$ 23.02 2 CAD$ 46.04 CAD
RAYBESTOS 980637R Rotor CAD$ 33.55 2 CAD$ 67.10 CAD
RAYBESTOS SGD1338C Brake Pad CAD$ 20.61 1 CAD$ 20.61 CAD
RAYBESTOS SGD1288C Brake Pad CAD$ 24.18 1 CAD$ 24.18 CAD
$150 CAD so not so bad.
I finally got around to putting them on. Figured 2 hours front 2 hours back.
So far, I've only gotten the fronts done. The bottom pins on both front calipers were totally seized. Spent about an hour on both sides getting the old pin out. As I don't have the pin kits, I used sandpaper and penetrating oil on both the pin and inside the caliper, then greased with synthetic brake lube.
Hoping to get to the rears tonight. I have a feeling I will run into the same issue with the seized pins, as I do get a lot of 'metal on metal' sound when taking tight corners. I have a feeling the inside pad will be completely worn away, and the outside pad will be brand new. We shall see!
