I need to replace pads and rotors on all 4 corners of my 2015 Rogue SL. It just failed inspection! All I can find is a 2014 shop manual with very poor image quality so it's a bit hard to read. I assume that all the torque specs between 2014 and 2015 are the same, but I'm not sure if I'm reading the specs correctly.

For the fronts:
Caliper brackets 84.5 ft/lbs?
Caliper slide pin bolts(I've seen two different specs and don't know which may be correct or neither may be) 34.3 ft/lbs, and 43.15 ft/lbs?

For the rears:
I could not find a spec for the caliper brackets. I believe the bolt is a 17mm whereas the front I believe to be a 19mm. So, I'm assuming the torque will be a bit less, but as stated I cannot find the spec.
Caliper slide pin bolts 34.3 ft/lbs?

Also, from what I can actually see through the blurriness, some of the numbers don't make sense to me. For example, on the front slide pin bolts, there is a callout of "34.3 (3.5, 25)". Can I assume that reads 34.3 ft/lbs? Are the other numbers in newton meters or something else? What am I looking at here?

If someone could chime in and tell me the proper numbers it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance

Andy

Nico has the '15 manual. Here's a link to the BR Section for the caliper screws:

The exploded views in the R&I portion of each manual section are where you'll find torque specs. The legend will have either a white wrench on black or a black wrench on white, the former means torque is in Nm (Kg/M, Lbs/Ft), the latter is Nm (Kg/Cm, Lb/In). There are 3 different caliper setups depending on your particular ride, so find the appropriate exploded diagram.

For some reason the FSM's for most models don't seem to give torque specs for the caliper frame screws (what Nissan calls the Caliper Torque Member). However, they all state "remove with a power tool" in the R&I instructions, so frankly we just lock them up tight with an impact wrench. They're fine-pitch screws which will handle a lot of torque, so I'd say anything above 100 lbs/ft is sufficient.

Thank you very much! So if I'm understanding you correctly the torque spec for the US version's front slider pins is 25 pounds feet of torque and not the 34 that I had assumed. Just wanted to make sure I got it right.....

You're most welcome. That's correct, 25. I just noticed they do have the frame screws called out in this manual, they're drawn out of scale and easy to miss. Spec is 122 lbs/ft.
