Brilliant step by step guide, also handy to know the handbrake self adjusts after brake pad replacement, no one mentions this on the forums. For owners in the UK, Nissan dealer charge £96.23 for the set of genuine rear brake pads(Fronts are £72.85). Very expensive at £96, some alternatives from Euro Car Parts are Bosch for £43, Brembo for £46, and Pagid for £54.

Finally got around to doing this job. Was much easier than I expected and had no issues whatsoever with the electric handbrake. I rewound it as per the video and then used a normal caliper retracter to push the piston back in. Once done, I turned the ignition on and pressed the handbrake button. It took just a moment to calibrate and all was good...no errors or warnings. One thing I did find is that the audible warning tab on the brake pads are absolutely useless. The tab is on the inner pad, however the inner pad still had loads of pad left and so the warning never triggered. The outer pads were almost down to the metal so I just caught them in time.

Hello, very good job, it shows in detail what I like and how much I like it, I have a Nissan Qashqai J11 and I love such videos. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

SergeP Excellent video, I just used it to change my rear brake pads on my Renault KADJAR 1.5 DCI (2015). It is the same process and electriC brake both Nissan QQ and Renault KADJAR. We don't need any electronic case, just to proceed as the video and explanations and the result is well. I am a french guy and we don't find any french video for Kadjar model. Your video was my simple and great help. Thanks

Getting ready to do front and rear pads on my J11. I had done front pads before and hadn't thought of the added complexity of the rear breaks. So happy I watched this in advance. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make and share these videos.

Best vid I've found for this job. Really detailed and super clear images. Many thanks.

I change rear brake pads and brake discs on my Kadjar 2018 after seen this good video, easy job and no problems.

Excellent video mate will tackle mine next week , I work in maintenance and after seeing the vid i am confident .

Excellent video, just replaced pads (and discs) on my 2016 QQ, your video was a great help. The only slight complication was that 1 of the activator retaining screws on the off side rounded out even using a well fitting T30, I managed, very carefully to cut a nick across the head so I could use a large flat blade screwdriver to remove then later replace the screw. Many thanks

Excellent tutorial ,well explained and focused on stuff to watch ,thank you worked well

I did it like you explained and everything went fine👍🏻👍🏻

5:33 : plug release. 7:11 rewind part 1 17:15 : rewind technique part 2

Excellent job. You pay attention to details. Congratulations. I suggest to most of viewers not to try this at home. Better let a proffecional do this.

Felicitari...nota 10..!!!

Thank you for this very informative video.

Спасибо большое за видео. Все ясно и понятно даже не зная языка!

Огромное вам спасибо сам заменил колодки, снимайте больше про j11 привет вам с Ukraine.

Really useful video, made the job easy. Thank you.

Good job and excellent video capture! Thank you.

Magnifico tutorial

good video , good job showing i like the lifting device i wonder if i can buy that for my home garage

Thank you. It's been a great help. 1.However, I wonder if the tool needed to move the kelp-cylinder back is a general or special tool. 2. And you really don't need a scanner?

Nowhere do I see you using a torque wrench to tighten any nuts/bolts. This is so very important to do correctly. Caliper, Caliper carrier and Wheel nuts all require to be torqued to the correct values!

Hello, Informative video... Well explained with focus on details that need addressing... :-)

Great video thanks for your time .

Thanks for sharing this information 👍

Будем пробовать, спасибо!

Great video, thx!

Very informative thankyou.

Thank you for the tutorial. Just one question ! Why do we have to remove the electrical part ? For easier to push the piston?

Many thanks for useful video!!!!. Supper!!!! One personal question about Qashqai, for sure ))): Does you replace oil in front (and rear) differential? According to local (Ukrainian) website only inspection needed.

Excellent video, thank you

When u put the hand brake back on did u need to use the 7mm to screw it back or just fit it and let the hand brake collaborate it’s self ?

gracias por tu video

This video is definitely helping! Good job ! But to wich direction you’re twisting to release handbrake after taking of the caliper ?

Why messing with the brake fluid? Didn't change level. Thanks for the video

Hi, firstly, great video, really helpful. But i don't understand why are you taking off the electric parts and than you're using allen key. What it gives? Is it easier to screw in the pestle later? Or maybe it is enough to press it then and you don't need to screw in?

You must never gun on alloy wheels and if you do gun setting must be low and once wheels are on the ground tighten wheels with wheel bar or torque up with torque wrench. And I've never seen or would recommend using a file on the brake caliper pad holder, the wire brush was good enough, i can only imagine someone over filing and destroying the caliper. other than that nice job man

Молодец!!!!!

After replacing FRONT brake discs and pads, i am getting once in a while a "slip indicator" light on, red engine light, along with "CHASSIS CONTROL System fault" warning and a "SYSTEM fault" warning. Have i missed something?

good video but would never use a grinder to clean the brake carrier as all you are doing is introducing bigger tolerances just use a wire brush to clean up

No nessesary for the OBD right?

All good on the fitting, however now I have a flashing handbrake light any idea why? Thank you for an excellent video

Hi mate That way is not recommended way of doing the job . What about EHB system putting to Diagnostic mode for revising the motor back. Then after completing the job by putting back to normal operating mode is setting the brake pads to the brake disc .and deleting any faults from the driver of EHB module .

Great job loved

7:40??? Why do you do it to the right? Why not unscrew ?

Did you had the ignition on and parking brakes off? Or the opposite? Thank you for the video

Hi, I have Nissan X-Trail / Rouge and that car have the same Brake Systam as the Quaschqai and Renault Kadjar. Thank you very much for this video it ist very interasting und i try to change the Brakes at home. But i have one question. What Brake Fluid Nissan used ??? Dot 3 or 4? Best Regards from Germany. :-)

Merci 👍

What is the need to take out the electronic part?

Hi mate. Great video. As a mechanic, do you think the Nissan Qashqai is a good car. Mine is 2 years old now and I am debating whether to keep it or trade it. BTW, in Australia the J11 is only available in 2.0 petrol and I have a CVT auto. Any insight would be appreciated.

Warning to all, do bit do this! We tried this with a friend's Qashqai J11 yesterday and changed the pads ok but the handbrake wouldn't reset. Long story short, Nissan have to fit 2 new rear calipers at a cost of almost £1300! You need the Nissan computer to reset the electronic handbrake. I'm gutted we followed this video.

Hello, it is therefore necessary to turn in the opposite direction of the hand of a watch to arrive at the stop?

When u removed the electric motor at 7:20 it looks like you rotated the caliper piston clockwise and counter clock wise with the Torx driver. Can you confirm the direction it has to turn before removing the caliper please? Thanks

Hi, do you recomend change front and rear pads brake at the same time?? Or that depend of the individual wear ?

Thank you very much.

Do you need a special brake piston rewinder (like a keyed one) or any standard brake piston pusher tool is good enough for the job in this car?

Won't vaseline damage the rubber seal on the brake caliper. Wouldn't silicone grease be a better idea?

No grease on the caliper pins, ears or piston face? Brakes will squeal for sure. Don't suck clean fluid from the reservior, rather open the bleeder and let the overheated and rubber-contaminated fluid from the caliper out, instead of pushing that crap fluid back into the system.

I done this but now my ele tonic handbrake light is flashing but handbrake is working ?

What reliable source can I get Nissan Qashqai AWD 2016 brake pads online in UK.? @the video author, what is your tweeter handle?

Hello The way to deactivate the brake is not working. When I switch off the ignition, the hand brake work automatically

what tool did you use to suction the brake fluid?

I always thought you would need laptop to get the handbrake off?

Can't hear what you're saying most of the time, you need to speak louder. This looks like it would be a very useful video if I could hear you.

7:15 😂😂😂😂

Hi i need this tool 8:57 show me link for this please ? I not found this tool with key for j11 😞

Hi, What are you doing at 7:05 ??

Is it the same with all the nissan with electronic parking brakes?
