Part one of two. This shows you how to replace/service the disc brakes front and back on the 1999-2004 Chrysler 300m LHS Concorde and Dodge Intrepid. Be sure…

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!
thank you – Everything worked out just fine.
Aye
You can use the C-clamp to compress the piston BEFORE taking it off the rotor. then the caliper will slip right off without hanging up in the grooves.
On other drum brakes I’ve worked on, I’ve set the rear brakes by going 10 mph in reverse and hitting the brakes. Of course, you’ll have to push the parking brake, but it is worth a try. The adjuster could take several attempts to adjust out far enough to seat against the wall. There could also be an adjustment procedure I’m not aware of for this vehicles parking brake. You could try searching for ‘parking brake adjustment’ for the Chrysler. Good luck.
Hello again , thanks for your reply , I indeed was able to do my rear brakes as per your video , I how ever did not need to close in the rear boot on the drum . The new disk slid easily into place and I was able to install the pads and bolt the caliper back on and then the wheel .. Just one thing , my parking brake no longer works .. Do you have any suggestions or should I visit my local Chrysler dealer for a parking brake adjustment ??cheers 🙂
Is my check in the mail?
You would push it from the bottom of center. On the passenger side push it on the top of center. basically, you push the driver side toward the ground and the passenger side toward the top of the car. Take note of the distance between the shoes, if you go the right way, they’ll get closer to each other, if not, they will move away from each other.
Hello !! Thank you so much for your post , I have a 2003 300 m special and I am anxious to do my rear brakes as per your video , I have 1 question how ever ..concerning the foot brake . You say on the driver side to turn the threaded side down . Down towards what , before I take the rotor off, I am not sure how to reset the parking brake shoe after I have made room for the rotor to slide on .. Thanks again
You saved my family a lot of money bro!
Man thanks. Great video! Did a quick google search for replacing lhs rotors and your vid came up. Gave me complete confidence in replacing the front calipers, rotors and pads on my 2001 Lhs. Keeps up the awesome work.
The parking brake worked just fine when he dropped it off and after the repair. The parking cable is unaffected by the work and should not need attention just because of a brake job. If the parking brake is not working, the cause lies elsewhere.
Now on the rear brakes did you have to adjust the parking brake back after you get the caliper back on? or did you just put it all back together and just pull the parking brake and it will adjust itself back?
Good Video Man.
You just need to remove the brake fluid filler cap so the fluid has somewhere to go when you push the pistons of the calipers back in. The text showed up a lot better before I split the video with the editor for upload to You Tube.
Could you provide more information on the beginning part regarding the brake fluid?
