It looks like it should be 62 ft lb. After a search, this mentions up to 58 ft lb.protomok wrote:Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to change all of the brake pads and rotors on my 2009 Rogue S. First off thanks so much for all the info on this site! The videos, explanations, FAQs, etc. are super helpful, especially for noobs like me
Anyway I had a couple questions:
1) I was watching the "FRONT BRAKE PAD, ROTOR & CALIPER REPLACEMENT" video in the "CHATROOM: Brakes" page. In the video at 19:26 he says that as per the FSM that the Torque is 84 and a half pounds, but when I opened the FSM, on page BR-40 the torque specification is "84.4 (8.6, 62)". In another page of the FSM (GI-5) they describe that the torque units are "N m (kg m , ft lb)" meaning that I think the torque should be 62 feet pounds. Could anyone confirm if I'm understanding this OK?
2) I bought some "Kleen-flo EZE Slide Brake Lubricant" (http://www.kleenflo.com/products/331.html). It is a synthetic brake lube, which according to the label can be used for "sliding caliper pins, calipers, pad-caliper contact points, shoe contact points, anchor pins, self adjusters and metal slides of brake pads".
I was hoping I could use this lube for both the sliding pin bolts and the backs of the pads, but the FSM is saying I should use a "rubber grease" for the sliding pin bolts and a "copper based grease" for the pads. Can I just use synthetic lube for everything? Maybe I'm over analyzing this?
Thanks
thats exactly what i had. watch my video and you will see. that caliper needs to be replaced ASAP. if you pinched that boot between the pad & piston, it will tear and leak fluid. and it will ingest filth into the lines.protomok wrote:Also one last question. The rubber boot in the Calipers looked a little strange. I'm not sure if I have the same issue ImStricken had, I included a picture below, could anyone confirm if my exterior boot is OK or do I need to replace my calipers? The exterior boots in both calipers looks pretty much the same.
i merged your thread with an already open thread. please use the search function next timeKonstantin wrote:Hello,

Thanks for advice
welcome to the club. and wait till you find your 2 front calipers f-ed up as well. i merged your thread with an already open one. read the prior few pages.followingnfront wrote:So at only 20k miles ny brakes are pulsating... The dealer says I need to replace all rotors and pads... At the dealer it will cost a whopping $1300!!!! I laughed when she told me that... I'm sure it came off rude but I couldn't control myself... anyway...
What are some good aftermarket rotors and pads that some of you have used on the rogue and how much? Thanks
wait till you discover your calipers are F-ed up. thats about $120/each. there are 4 of them.lgeetx1 wrote:Glad to hear it's not just my problem. I have a 2010 Nissan Rouge and I'm at 52K miles. I've had the dealer replace my rotors 3 times. Most recently, at around 47K, the dealer put on my third set of rotors (with NO NEW pads). The squeal has never stopped. The pulsating mellowed out, but was never elimated. Now it will be on on my dime for the replacements parts, or replace the Rouge. I couldn't keep fighting them the third time around. I ran out of umph since we had an ice storm in Dallas and I needed to get home w/foot surgery schedule the following week. So then foot surgery put me out a few months so I couldn't get back to the dealer in a timely manner to address this. They gave me a verbal that the third set of rotors would last me 5,000 miles. I'm about there.
So - with this said, can someone send me the make and model for the pads and rotors I should buy (or the link to the old post). I gather I should not buy Nissan parts; but Akebono. Is this correct???
Yeah I wouldn't recommend getting the OEM brake parts, it's a ripoff IMO. Nissan quoted me $800 for the parts and $1050 for parts plus installation so I just got aftermarket parts and did the install myself for less than half the pricelgeetx1 wrote:Glad to hear it's not just my problem.

as long as yours dont look like this:protomok wrote:I thought I had the same problem as ImStricken with the calipers but poking around with a screwdriver I found no fluid, so I just used the screwdriver to re adjust the rubber boots and didn't need to buy calipers
i bet they will increase the price, when they start the job because OEM/stock calipers are known to fail. they will find one or two failed calipers and the price will increase exponentially. into the $1000+ category. just be forewarned.denrama wrote:They are doing pads and replacing rotors.
this is NOT the place to ask about the transmission. i thought i explained to you how forums work, on the thread you created.engineer20 wrote:how's the transmission been on your rogue? I have heard bad things about them so I'd like to hear about it and whether or not it's reliable. Are you still on your original transmission? CVT?
For what it's worth (and I think I've mentioned this in another thread), the first generation Nissan Rogue used the same brake system as the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V sedan, which has a lower curb weight, a much lower gross weight, a lower center of gravity and is only available in FWD. All of these play into a brake system that was perfectly fine for the Sentra, but is completely inadequate for the Rogue. I suggest you get cryo-treated Centric rotors and the matching ceramic Centric pads. They bed in by themselves, and will give you a better lifespan over the factory parts.Loungelurker wrote:You are not the first Rogue owner to mention the brakes this early on. This seems pretty early to need to replace them. And let me guess.... natural wear and tear so it isn't covered under any warranty. grrr.
