How do I change the brake pads on a 2003 Nissan Murano?

This can be a learn-as-you-go project. Obviously, jack up car and remove wheels. Remove the two bolts or pins that secure the caliper to the brake pad carrier. THe old pads can now be removed. You will have to figure out a way to press the brake pistons back into the caliper. This can usually be done with a C-clamp. Install new pads, and re-install caliper and bolts. If you go to the Nissan dealer, they will have a brake kit that includes return springs and other misc. brake parts. The good news here is that all parts will fit perfectly. Remember that this is the time to change your brake fluid. Read your owner's manual. Brake fluid only lasts for 2-3 years and then must be changed. Not doing so will cause premature wear to caliper seals and master cylinder. Use only genuine Nissan brake fluid. Mixing different brake fluids together can cause severe brake problems. If you need help, purchase a Haynes or Bentley repair manual. For improved braking you might install a set of Axxis pads from Australia. They will keep your wheels cleaner than the factory units. (sometimes). Don't use any other manufacturer brake pads. If your discs are worn, buy only genuine Nissan rotors. Use the Internet, if you like, to shop for best mail order prices. Rotors are high precision items and have different heat dissipation properties.
