is there an any tool to push the piston back in?

@love1988672007 yes, there is a tool available. It is a piston spreader tool. You can try to search online for it.

Hi mate, would you be able make a video changing the REAR brake pads on these brembos? thanks

[bythabayplayer]

Rear pads are pretty much the same deal. This video is actually really out of date... at this point I didn't even know how to do brake jobs :) The next time I have to replace pads and rotors on a brembo brake equipped G I will make sure to film it.

FIrst off thanks for the video. Anyway, i did everything that was done in the vid. but im unable to get the oem brake pads off. DId i miss something? It feels like there's something holding it in place. But in the video you were able to just pull it out. THanks!

check the factory service manual for the 350z, something might be different... let us know how it turns out for you.

I have a 03 g35 coupe and i've read that the breaks go out fast due to the softer pads. The last owner resurfaced the rotors and when i took it to the dealer they said you're not supposed to due that. Told me they'd recommend me changing the entire rotors and brake pads. My question is that I really like the Brembos and wouldn't mind spending the $ to go back with the same stock ones but I wanted to know what you'd suggest on what pads to go back with. Thanks

yep good vid bro, people just make sure you take the top off the brake fluid reservoir so the pistons can be compressed. Compress them nice and slow and wrap a cloth around the reservoir incase of any fluid spillage. Once all done slowly compress the brake pedal still with the lid off the reservoir, and again and again until you feel a nice hard pedal come back. Check fluid level. Top back on. Voila!
