Large channel locks or C-clamp, wrench or sockets to remove lug nuts, and caliper pins, wire brush or brush or your weapon of choice to clean all sliding surfaces. When the clipers are off, the piston will be out too far for the new pads to clear the rotor. To push the piston back in you take a small piece of wood (I've even used an old brake pad) to distribute the c-clamp pressure across the whole piston. Use slow steady cranking on the c-clampto push the piston all the way back in. Now the pads will fit and you're all set to put it back together.

What is needed to install a Bose CD cassette system in a 1997 non Bose Nissan Maxima?

Hello, if you want to install a Bose CD cassete in a 97 Nissan Maxima you will need to rewire the sound system in your car in order to have a wiring as required by Bose systems. Non Bose systems don't have the "finesse" that Bose systems have, that is, Bose systems requires shielded wires and cables to carry electrical signals to the amplifyers, that usually are disposed one per speaker in the 97 Maxima. Bose systems are very sensitive and have some relays and things like that to command the premium sound quality in the vehicle. It takes into account even the surface of the seats. The most important is: if you want to put a Bose system in your 97 Nissan Maxima, please find the speakers and the amps for the 97 Nissan Maxima, not from other Bose car system, as it will not work properly. Bose systems are specific design for a specific car. The first thing you can do is to go to phatg20.com and download the Nissan Maxima Factory Service Manual to see the wiring scheme, get the cables and speakers and amps and hands on work. Good luck.
