Nissan Leaf Front Brakes - Proper Job

In this video I am showing you how to replace the rear brakes on a Nissan leaf 2013 (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018-today) the proper way.  This will tell you a future proof way of doing the job, with the goal of preventing the brakes from seizing in a couple of years.

According to service diagrams, this process is identical for newer leafs.

I also made a shortened version (5 minute) of this video for those that don't experience rust issues:

The rust on the parts is due to being used in the rust belt, it's not impeding their functionality, and painting the caliper and bracket is a personal preference (I'm not going to do that).

Torque specs: 19 mm Bracket bolts are 122 ft-lb and 14 mm caliper bolts are 20 ft-lb
