I am cross-posting from the infiniti tech section in hopes of a quick response from some of the Q45 gang.

Thanks,Chadd

I am having trouble identifying the service parts for a set of 95 Q45 calipers. I have found the pad retainers and caliper pins at NAPA, but I haven't found the boots that cover the caliper pins. Can anyone help me with a NAPA part number or a dealer part number to replace these rubber boots?

Napa carries a caliper seal boot, which i assume is for the pistons. They also carry a caliper bushing kit (inner and outer) that I cannot identify.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks.

I'm not one of the experts here, but I know that most on the Nico Forum will only use OEM pads on their Q. You should contact Joe for the Infiniti parts. I think it's the Pinnacle link of the advertisers. I've had non OEM pads on my Q and all they do is make noise. Get OEM.

Figured it out after many calls and a couple of trips to the parts stores:

NAPA Caliper Bushing Kit = Rubbers for the caliper bolt holes, contains enough to do 2 calipers

NAPA Caliper Hardware Kit = Metal retainers to fit the pads into the caliper brackets, total of 4, enough to do 2 calipers.

NAPA Caliper Housing Bolt - Front = Caliper bolts/pins to hold the caliper into the caliper bracket. Contains 2, enough to do one caliper.

Thanks for the advice guys. I just happened to get the time to hit a couple of stores at lunch to figure it out.
