I just re inro'd myself here on the board
Long story short. My x has 188k. and maintenance has fallen behind ( like I dont remember when the brake fluid was done if ever
)
So one thing I was going to do was the brake pads and rotors along with a brake line flush ( start small i figure)
Last 3x times I've replaced the brake pads the caliper slide pins were corroded and were an unbeliveable pain to get out (think PB blaster every 2 hours and over night soak then, 2 people pulling and twisting).
So why would my caliper pins be getting stuck? last time I put in specific gease ( per the pep boys fellow) the previous time I put in grease( cant remeber what kind) I'm afraid i will go thru that scenario again and what to make sure I prevent it if possible (and order new caliper pins so my X isnt sittign while i try to find new ones) Sanity check for me.. those slide pins shuould slide/ go in when you push them right..? Them gettind binded is not ok
My next question... very very simple.
When I jack up my xterra I'd liek to put it on jack stands.... where do I put the jack stands specifically ? anywhere on the axle?
I know very simple question.. don't worry i wont ask how to change my blinker fluid.... I'm not that slow ( I already did it
Thanks for your time...
