Great video. One thing to mention is to always check your brake fluid
reservoir before pushing the piston back. Typically you add fluid to
compensate the wearing of the pads so when you push all the pistons back,
the fluid will overflow unless you remove some beforehand.
From what I’ve heard from forum members on Dodge Talk, you should grease
the slides with brake grease so the pads move freely so they don’t get
stuck, seize, and cause damage and/or unnecessary wear. The slides are the
metal clips that are supposed to look chrome but usually get dirty and
rusty.
You can skip the first step – you don’t need to remove the entire caliper
holder, only the caliper using the small (11mm) bolts. To do it your way is
just adding extra work and an extra step. Also, you don’t need to use a
piece of wood with the ‘C’ clamp Just use an old brake pad; works like a
charm.
Very helpful, thanks! I just did the fronts on my Durango and wanted to
make sure there weren’t any big differences in the process for the rears.
Appreciate your posting this!

Glad it was of help!

Very helpful thanks 😉
You don’t have to remove the big bolts though. And yes, grease the corners
of the brake shoes so they will not stick.
It’s not a nut it’s a bolt and it’s not a wrench it’s a socket
