Hello guys,
Brake caliper/cylinder or piston problem
I want to report following and maybe it can be of use for you: because my cylinder/piston was blocked and the rotor and rim turned warm with smoke coming of in the end , so had to let it fixed.
In the days before the caliper was stuck could still drive for several km so went to the Nissan dealer nearby they looked at it,cleaned it greased it and things were ok at that time.
But the next day same problem occured, so phoned the dealer and had ordered a new caliper.
As i live in the Netherlands it had to be ordered in the USA.In the mean time had to wait and after a few days tried the car but things were completely stuck. As to get things going and to get to the dealer had to losen the caliper. There was no movement in the cylinder what so ever even with some force. So i took a big socket (or you could use a piece ofiron pipe) at exactly the same size so it can fit between the cylinder and the caliper to keep it from moving afterwards. Took some tie ribs to keep everything on place. Then i hang up the caliper with tie ribs at the upper part of the rear strut. So i couldnt move. And drove to the dealer to let it fixed in the coming days.
I have a 2005 fx35 with 90k miles and wonder how come that a cylinder can get stuck as it is now:mad.:. I should expect good quality of the Infiniti/Nissan brand.
Maybe some of you have got the same problem?
If you have questions please let me know.
