no problem. you are right. only 4 bolts hold caliper together that need to be removed. there is no screw holding the rotor onto hub. Actually the 2 bolts that were difficult to remove were 18 mm. The other bolts are standard 10 mm bolts holding piston onto caliper on our g35x. dont know why infiniti would put diffirent size on yours, unless you have different brakes. on the x i believe the front brakes are smaller.

Its odd that they have different bolt sizes for same model year. The last one I did was a late model 04 so perhaps it was already getting 05 calipers when it was built. Anyway they make for an easy pad replacement and a fairly easy rotor remonal if necessary.

Not happy with 2005 g35x

I just had a front wheel bearing replaced on my 2005 g35x. Under warranty, but makes me wonder about quality. However, they discovered a transmission leak and now I need a new radiator. The warranty ran out at 90,000 kms. I'm at 94,000 kms. And front rotors needed ... again. Is this a piece of junk, or what? My son has an 11 year old Honda Accord, and he's never had these kinds of issues. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I'm in Canada.

the early G35s and FXs were notoriously bad when it came to rotors and brake pads: actually, in the beginning of 2003 or 2004 it wasn't covered under warranty and Infiniti was sued and forced to cover rotors and brakes under warranty because of the amount of people having problems with them and complaining: I had a 2005 FX35 that needed the rotors resurfaced and brake pads replaced every 10k miles while I leased it: luckily it was all covered under warranty but suffice it to say I didn't keep the FX because of these issues because they would have added up to alot of money year after year once the warranty expired: each time the car was done the bill was $300-400 bucks a pop: I was in the dealership over the years many times with people with 03-07 G35s having the same issues that I did with brakes and rotors every 10-15k miles: its a shame because except for the brake/rotor issues, my FX35 was absolutely excellent and problem free for the 42 months I had it!!! best of luck on your decision!!
