Precautions For Brake System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Infiniti I35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Recommended fluid is brake fluid "DOT 3".
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tubes.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
Before working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the connectors for the ABS actuator and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or the battery terminals.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to Brake Burnishing Procedure.

WARNING: Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
