How to Diagnose or Replace

1. Loosen the five lug nuts, lift the Rogue safely, support it on jack stands, then remove the wheel.
2. If equipped with an electronic parking brake, put it in service mode before touching the rear caliper.
3. Remove the two caliper slide bolts, swing the caliper up, and hang it to protect the hose.
4. Slide out the old pads, then unbolt the caliper bracket to free the rotor.
5. Remove the retaining screw if present, then pull the rotor off the hub.
6. Clean the hub face, mount the new rotor, and install new pads with fresh hardware.
7. Reassemble, torque lug nuts to about 83 lb-ft, then pump the brake pedal before driving.

Cost Breakdown - DIY vs Shop

DIY savings scale with vehicle size and job complexity. A full-size truck brake job saves $450-700 in labor. For most passenger cars, plan on 90-120 minutes per axle for pads only, 2-3 hours for pads plus rotors.

Install Tips - Where Most DIYers Go Wrong

• Apply a thin film of silicone grease to caliper slide pins so pads move freely and wear evenly.
• Never reset an electronic parking brake by hand; use a scan tool or dash maintenance mode to retract the pistons.
• Bed new pads with several moderate 40-to-10 mph stops to lay down an even friction layer.
