NISSAN; ON-CAR BRAKE ROTOR RESURFACING
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
Reference Number(s): NTB04-094a, Date of Issue: July 23, 2013
APPLIED VEHICLES
All Nissan
IF YOU CONFIRM
A vehicle needs to have the brake rotors resurfaced (front or rear).
ACTION
Use the ProCut? PFM Series on-car brake lathe to perform brake rotor resurfacing and
follow the tips listed in this bulletin.
l The ProCut? PFM Series brake lathe has been chosen as the approved tool for rotor
resurfacing.
l The ProCut? PFM Series brake lathe can be ordered from TECH-MATE at 1-800-662-
2001.
l ProCut? technical support or service can be obtained by calling 1-800-543-6618.
TIPS FOR USING THE PROCUT? PFM SERIES ON-CAR BRAKE LATHE
l Read and follow all instructions contained in the Technical Manual provided with
your ProCut? equipment.
l The ProCut? brake lathe also comes with an instructional video that can be used as
a training aid.
l Additional training is available from your local ProCut? representative by calling
1-800-543-6618.
A. Make sure the cutting tips are sharp, in good condition and installed "right-side"
up.
l Make sure to use ProCut? brand tips.
l The cutting tip "UP" side has a groove or letters.
NISSAN: All Nissan
CLASSIFICATION: BR04-007a
NOTE: Brake rotors may need to be resurfaced during routine brake repair or
for brake "judder" incidents.
l Brake judder: A brake pedal pulsation and/or steering wheel
shimmy when braking that occurs when there is too much
thickness variation of the brake rotors (see NTB00-033).

l Each cutting tip has three cutting corners. Rotate or replace the tip as
needed.
B. For best accuracy, "stabilize" (firmly support) the vehicle with a jack or jack
stand as shown in Figure 1.
l On some hoists, the vehicle may "wobble" a little while using the on-car
brake lathe. Not good .
NOTE: A tip mounted upside-down will produce a surface finish that
looks like an old LP record.
NOTE: You should get at least 7 cuts per corner. However, tip life is
affected by variables such as rust or ridges. In order to determine
when to rotate tips, monitor the rotor finish. If the rotor finish
begins to look inconsistent or feels rough to the touch, tips
should be rotated or replaced. Tips that are chipped or cracked
should never be used.
CAUTION: Any rocking motion (wobble) of the vehicle during the ProCut?
"automatic compensation" procedure will reduce the accuracy of
the resurfacing.

l If wobble occurs during the rotor resurfacing process/procedure, the finished
rotor runout may be more than factory specification and should be checked
before using the rotor.
C. Prevent metal shavings from contacting or collecting on the ABS speed sensors.
l Remove any shavings that stick to the ABS speed sensor's magnet. It is best
to clean the ABS sensor with the rotor removed.
D. After a rotor has been resurfaced with the ProCut? brake lathe:
l If the rotor must be removed for any reason, mark the exact location (rotor
to axle hub) before removing the rotor (see Figure 2).
l The rotor must be reinstalled back to the same location.

E. Do not tighten the wheel lug nuts with an air impact driver.
l Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque
specification.
l Uneven or high torque applied to the lug nuts may "distort" (warp) the brake
rotor and hub. This may increase rotor runout and cause excessive rotor
thickness variation as the rotor wears.
CLAIMS INFORMATION
Please reference the current Nissan "Warranty Flat Rate Manual" and submit your claim
(s) using the Operation Code (Op Code) or combination of Op Codes that best describes
the operations performed.
