Assemble everything back together. If you don't have a good feel for this, get the torques from Nissan. Basically revers order of removal. Easiest thing to forget are the little clips that hold the pins in. Make sure they are there before putting the wheels back on.

Then you need to bleed the brakes. Generally accepted method is to start from the caliper furthest away from the master cylinder and work you way towards it. I would recommend doing your calipers in that order so you don't have to go back and forth. Also, make sure your reservoir does not go empty!

I use the second person approach to bleeding. Press the brake, open valve, release fluid, close valve, release brake and repeat. Important...close the valve before you release pressure from the brake.

I also think it's a good idea to put a label on your reservoir to keep some tech with good intentions from putting the wrong fluid in your system causing you to do a complete brake bleed.
