i have one of those in cabin filters that is somewhere near the glove compartment. do i need to remove the glove compartment to change it or is it beneath it? can i buy these somewhere besides the nissan dealership to save money? thanks!

thanks very much!!

the booklet that says Owners Manual contains no information at all only a listing of each state's regulations or whatever. i see the long rod with the small T at the end. I assume that rod fits in some slot and then is twisted like a screwdriver to drop the tire. where is the slot that it fits in? thanks

thanks for the help guys. i really appreciate it. just got finished with the front brakes. you saved me a lot of time by telling me the caliper mount didn't need to come off. i ended up having to work pretty hard with the chisel to get all 4 pads off. surprisingly the new pads went on fairly easy unfortunately i spent 2 hours going around town to buy the 22mm socket that i thought i needed to remove the caliber mount. QUESTION: the pads were all worn in an uneven manner. is that normal? i noticed one of the sliders doesn't move nearly as freely as the other. also i didn't catch the front left wheel in time. it went metal to metal and i have a nice 1/2" worn groove around the outer perimeter of the rotor. it's not deep at all. i didn't bother replacing the rotor because i didn't have time. i took it for a test drive and the brakes work good and no noise. could this scoring of the rotor cause me problems down the road? again thanks for the help.

thanks guys. gonna give it another shot right now. spent a half an hour last night trying to get them out. don't think they are coming out. i think the corrosion has them sealed in too tight.

Nissan Pathfinder 2001 I haven't done a brake job in about 10 years. Little apprehensive about working on newer cars. So far i've removed the 2 bolts holding the brake caliper. I've slid the Caliper out of the Caliper Mount and swung it up out of the way. http://www.2carpros.com/how_to/how_to_replace_brakes.htm now according to the link above it says I should be able to pop out the old brake pads from the Caliper Mount (while it's still in place), but the pads don't want to budge. I am thinking i need to remove the 2 bolts (22mm?) that are holding the Caliper Mount and pull that off in order to get the old pads out. Is this correct? I tried removing these two bolts (22mm?) but they wouldn't budge. Put a torch on them????? I read somewhere else on the net that another guy busted the head of the bolt trying to get them off. I want to avoid this so that's why i need to know if this step is necessary. thanks mike
