How big are the brakes on the maxima?
Even claiming to be the most powerful brakes, the new Maxima is still a reasonably lightweight, claiming just 290g per brake with an 800mm long hose (without rotor or other hardware.)
What kind of brakes do trickstuff Maximas use?
Already known for incredible stopping power in their lightweight, machined aluminum Direttissima four-piston brakes, Trickstuff is stepping it up with the new Maximas.
What was the original purpose of the trickstuff maxima?
Initially prototyped as a special team edition of the Direttissima, the Maxima beefs up Trickstuff’s original gravity brake lever & cylinder, then completely redesigns the four-piston caliper. The goal was to develop a race-ready, incredibly powerful brake set that was still well modulated & reasonably lightweight.
What kind of alloy is the Maxima made of?
The new Maximas are fully CNC machined from 7075 alloy and feature a new longer aluminum brake lever blade with higher & more progressive mechanical leverage for smoother action, still rotating on four ball bearings at their pivots.
How does trickstuff maxima hydraulic disc brake work?
Every MAXIMA is tuned to feature a minimal stroke. There is no adjustment needed. Stable bite point: Trickstuff’s disc rotor’s high thermal capacity absorbs most of the brake heat and thus protects the caliper and the brake fluid (BIONOL) from overheating.
Even claiming to be the most powerful brakes, the new Maxima is still a reasonably lightweight, claiming just 290g per brake with an 800mm long hose (without rotor or other hardware.)
What causes a car to pull to one side when not braking?
Stuck caliper: If one of the brake calipers is stuck, you will notice a significant pull to one side when braking. You will also probably notice a pull to one side even when you are not braking. Collapsed brake hose: A brake hose that has collapsed can cause calipers to move unevenly, also causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking.

How to replace rear brake pads and rotors?
Step 5 – Using a pair of dikes remove the rotor retainer clip which is used in initial assembly and will not be reinstalled. Step 6 – Next, use a socket to remove both upper and lower caliper mounting bolts. Use a wrench if necessary to secure the slide.
How do you reset a rear brake caliper?
A rear caliper reset tool is necessary for parking brake integrated systems. The reset tool screws the piston back into the caliper. These calipers cannot be compressed with a clamping tool, it can only be reset with the reset tool. A locator slot is used on the inboard piston, which is fitted into a peg located on the backing plate of the pad.
Can you change brake pads on a Japanese car?
Fits most European and Japanese cars… Once your pistons are pushed in, you can now replace the brake pads. Ensure you lubricate any moving parts and clean everything not to get stuck, so you have to redo the job soon. Replace any metal plates if you got them in the brake pads package.

Test the electric parking brake function You are done! How do I know if I need a computer to replace my rear brake pads?
Why do rear disc brake pads wear down?
Rear disc brake pads offer improved performance and are not affected by moisture like conventional brake shoes. Brake pads wear down making a grinding noise. Caliper slides lock up, not allowing the caliper move causing premature pad wear. Inferior parts squeak, grumble and prematurely wear. Bleed brake system after the job is complete.
