You may want to check the suspension components to see if any of them are worn, or if the caliper on the side it pulls to is hanging up. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Great video. My ’02 Durango just started pulling to the right under breaking. Inspected everything and all looks well. Plenty of pad life left and what not. Any thing in particular I can check/test?
Here’s a caviet for others. The torx bolt may not be T47. I ran to the parts store and bought one; took off the wheel to find that mine was smaller than a T47.
Thank u very much 1aauto for your videos…they help us out a lot on different vehicles we work on.
Thanks for watching. We carry some great brake rotor and brake pad kits for all kinds of vehicles. Hope this helps you out.
Just wanted to thank you for the Video. Was getting ready to do the front pads on the wife’s new-to-her Durango and so I reviewed the video for any surprises. Now I need to go get a T47 lol. Just glad I saw this before tearing the wheel off and finding out. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial.
Good stuff. Thanks for the tutorial. Mine was a T45 when i took the calpier off.
If the brake pedal pulsates it may be the rotors that are warped. We carry brake pad and rotor kits for many vehicles with free shipping on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
my cars shakes or stutters when I pump the brakes should I change the rotors and the pads? or just the rotors.
thank you, helped a lot
You could have the dealer run your VIN numer and they could tell you.
Nice video but I have a question. How do I know if my car have performance package breaks or not? is a question every break parts ask all the time, how we can recognize this?
Thank you.
Check yours first to see if it is a T-45. T-47’s can be hard to come by. I found one for $3.50 at Pep Boys….only to discover what was on my 2000 SLT was actually T-45.
Just did this today on a different vehicle, a refresher course always helps, thanks!
Every other car i had all used just a normal socket now i gotta get a T47 torx bit. They always keep you guessing
It should be fairly similar.
Is there a huge difference between the 97-03 and the 05 model? I am about to tackle the front pads and rotors on my 05 durango with this video
alright thats wat i was thinking because all the brake pads are neww even the rotors well only the rear rotor but ohk thx
If the brake pads are fine, you could try to bleed the brakes to see if that helps.
hey man um i replace all my brakes and my brakes are alittle good then how i had it when i bought my car but they still take a long time to get to a full stopp any help do i need to replace some thing
If the truck has rear disk brakes the process should be similar to the front. On (some) vehicles the rear disc brakes may require a special tool that you might need that turns the caliper in from the backside. If not then they would collapse just like the fronts with a C-Clamp. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You have wonderful videos. Anyways… I was wondering if this aplies for both the front and back brakes? I know some cars have drums in the back and they are different to replace.
Just a note: 2001dakota uses a T45 hex driver. Thanks for a great video!
Hi Mike!! I like you vids..Im learning more then just car mechanic work from you…your very diliberate in what your working on and talking about..thats great..ill keep watching for more…can you check out my new vid and tell me what you think….rate,comment,sub…later
Unfortunately we do not currently have a video on the 2005 model year but we will keep this in mind for one very soon.
I just want to thank you…You have the best video out there, but I do have 1 question…I now have a 2005 durango im gettin ready to do front brakes and rotors on..Im not new to this but it has been quite a few yrs. for me and never did it on this vehicle before….I have a really bad back so before I tackle this can you please tell me alittle more about the 2005 or maybe even do a segment on it….Thank you….Bill
Amazon video! Others were hard to understand this made it seem so easy! Thanks guys!
1) Don’t do brake jobs without wearing gloves. This is very dusty and fully of rusty particles. Personally I use regular mechanics gloves then cover with thin, XL nitrile gloves for the real messy jobs… but just the nitril glove is also fine. (always use with Brake Clean).
2) Its easier to use one of the old brake pads as a block between the caliper piston and C-clamp. Its easier to keep the piston load square, its also protects the piston from marring/damage.
You’re welcome. Have a great day. 888-844-3393
This video came in very handy, thank you guys so much!!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Sometimes you need to bang them off from the backside with a hammer.
My disc is stuck its a 2005 durango and theres no holes for those screws to get it loose how do i get it off?
same here… wish i would have read your post before i went to buy one lol
You may want to recheck everything. and pump up the breaks when you are done to see if that solves the issue.
Thank you very much for the video. I changed the brakes and the rotors form my 2006 grand caravan and after tightening everything the rotors are loose??? i’m wondering why and is that normal for such a vehicle? When i say loose i mean the torque bolts are screwed in all the way, but there seems to be room for the rotors to wiggle a little bit….
