Shop Nissan Brake Drums

After a frustrating conversation with Nissan Support, I am hoping perhaps a car junky out there might have knowledge where I can find a Technical Service Manual for my 1995 Infiniti G20. Nissan's customer service explained to me that they didn't have any on stock and were not able to educate either on when I could expect to get one. Very frustrating since the G20 has become a pet project of mine and I am trying to find a replacement hose (the one that connects the engine to the brakes drum). Would appreciate any help from fellow car junkies!





Thanks,
Sid

Not sure what you mean by engine to brake drum. If you mean a rear brake hose I just found them as seen in part below at AutoZone's own site. Check others as needed for your needs. Shop where you wish. Just call or Google the parts store of choice or a dealer if you wish. Helps to be able to name the parts you want.

Come back if you need help from there with installation or parts names if you can describe just what you need and what it does - we'll try,

Hi Tom, Thanks for you help. I am not sure about the rear hose. Here's a picture of my G20 and the broken hose I am trying to replace:

OK! Now I get it - pics really help!

That appears to be a vacuum hose to the power brake booster - not an hydraulic part at all. Booster looks like a drum of sorts but not a brake drum like at the wheels.

Just take a copy of your pic to a dealer as this is unlikely to be an aftermarket part. It is special hose that is both "moulded" and can hold vacuum without collapsing.

You could fake it temporarily with extra long proper vacuum + fuel tolerant hose making loops to accommodate the curved ends - long story on how to do that and the right thing is getting the right part asap.

If (judgement call) this is in a spot with just one leak right there you might be able to cut it, plug it for now so engine runs and or get a good brass barbed splice and double clamps each end of splice with 100% stainless hose clamps.

YOU MUST BE SURE IT ISN'T RUBBING ON ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT. NO SHARP RUBBING, OR HOT SPOTS.

Just what happened to this one anyway?

Ps: This may have two different end I.D.s to make it more of a dealer part.

PsII: Plugged or leaking this will defeat power assist to the brakes! Engine won't run or run lousy with it leaking. Not advisable to drive the car w/o the power assist - they will work but not well or strong!

Thanks for your time Tom. I am not sure what happened but the vacuum hose broke into two somehow, perhaps because of the below zero freezing temperatures. I am going to go to the dealer tomorrow and see what they have to offer. Meanwhile, I found some free repair manuals. See post below!

Found this site with some manuals. Click here for Infinity G20 manuals.

During hard or high speed braking, I get a strong shudder from the rear end. Even when braking at slower speeds, it seems like the brakes grab then release as the wheels turn. I've pulled on the parking brake to verify it is coming from the back.

Longer story - was told by the garage I had a leaky wheel cylinder. Disassembled and verified. Decided to go ahead a change them on both sides, plus purchased new hardware (i.e. springs), purchased new drums, and installed. Initial test drive seemed ok.

Went on the highway the following week and immediately noticed the shudder in the rear when braking at high speeds. Suspected out of round drums. Disassembled, cleaned reinstalled and tried again. Same thing. Sent drums back to retailer and purchased OEM (Japanese) parts (first set were aftermarket). Installed and tested on highway - same thing.

I'm not sure where to go next. Seems unlikely I got 2 consecutive out of round drums. Could it be the wheel cylinders? Should I have replaced the shoes?

Appreciate anyone's insight. Thx!

I don't know about that. In 40 years I have never seen a brake drum cause a shudder. The just aren't strong enough and tend to give and flex. Mild surging maybe but the shudder is nearly always the front with drums in the rear.

I am seeking information as to how the rear tire (including the drum) can come completely off of the car.

Last week, I had my car serviced at an auto repair shop. I had the front and rear brakes replaced. On the front, new pads were installed. On the rear, new shoes, bearings and drums were installed.

Here is a brief description of the incident. Within a span of 30 seconds the following occurred:
1) ABS Light came on;
2) The steering wheel began to shake violently;
3) Depressed brake to slow down when;
4) The TIRE, while still attached to the drum came off of the car and went flying 150meters out into the woods.
5) When the car stopped, I examined the rear of the car where I found the rear brake completely exposed. The main nut is visable and firmly holding the bearing behind it.

Could anyone help me solve this problem? How is a tire able to come completely off of the car like this?

Since it's a brake drum, you have to be talking about the rear. It means that the wheel bearings and lock nut were not installed properly.
