thank you! i’ll do the rear drums check soon!
How do you did engage the e brake for the rear with discs brakes?
No good
Wow anti-seize too much drag no torque stick bad
if anyone needs promo discount code its “CC20″ for advance auto parts 877-857-1669
I think its like 20% off or more per phone sale only and free shipping over $75 or in store pick up.
Also I think my issue is with the rear.
Can I do this same method with a Wrangler 07? I don’t know the diff between 06-07 but there was a change correct?
The duralast “C-Max” pads come with NUMEROUS Abutment clips. How do I know which ones to use on the ears of my brake pads?
Just buy a $8.00 6″ C clamp form Autozone.
ABS, My 06 Wrangler does not have it. . . How do you instal those blue barrel springs on the brake shoes?
i think this is good for any TJ jeep from 97 to 06.
good video
After watching this video, I went to AutoZone and bought pads and rotors and replaced the brakes on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler for the first time. Probably saved me $400 and it only took me an hour to do the job (most of it getting the tires and caliper off). Thank you,
This might be a dumb question but could this video work for a 1997 Jeep wrangler? I wanna do my brakes and even looking at a Haynes manual they really didnt change too much on the jeep wrangler much over the years. Awesome job for the video by the way and thanks.
LOL he said he wanted it lifted!
Fantastic video mate very helpful
I just replaced my pads and I get no compression on them now. I have pumped the breaks a bunch but am not sure how long I should expect to have to do it. I loosened the fluid nut on the back buy mistake but have re tightened those and am not leaking fluid is there a chance I got air in and have to bleed the line?
That is a disc brake pad spreader. I bought it from Matco Tools. It was around $20.00.
What is the name of that spreader tool. How much is it and where can I get one? Also, are the brakes on this jeep similar to those on a Dodge Nitro?

Thank you for posting this video! I never knew doing the brake pads was this simple. Cost me 30 bucks to do it myself! I’ll never take it to a mechanic for brake pads again.
Salt country on older car torch carefully! Bearings in there
If you are removing it to replace it, use a big hammer & penetrating oil. If you want it machined or are removing it for some other reason, use a big mallet or a hammer & a block of wood so you don’t damage the rotor.
I’m wondering if there are any tips for getting the rotors off if they are stuck.
Thanks.
Great video thanks!
I’ve been fussed at a ton for that habit. You aren’t supposed to do that. There were a few years of GM trucks that supposedly had issues with ABS after a brake job if the bleeder was closed. I have never had a problem with it & I’ve done many GMs. I wonder if the vehicles already had issues & the brake job magnified it, or if the person doing it forced the piston in really fast?
I have a question for you….I see when you compress the caliper piston to allow room for the new pads you don’t open the bleeder screw (I do the same). I’ve heard that forcing the fluid back through the system can harm the ABS components or master cylinder. Has that ever happened to you?
If you reverse them, you may have a little uneven wear & possibly some pad overlap, where the pad hangs off the rotor a little bit.
what happens if you accidently put the pads on the wrong side? i installed my brakes on my zj for the first time, and everything works great. but after watching your video, the part about the notches made me realize i didn’t pay attention and i think i swapped sides by accident. how bad is this? do i need to redo everything? like i said, the brakes work great.
Thanks so much for the vid. I’ve done breaks on my Dodge but my x-wife has an 07 Wrangler with indicator tabs starting to be heard. She has asked me if I could change the pads and now I can. (needed to know about the two 13M bolts) Thanks.
I bet alot of guys would like to mess with the breaks on their ex’s car. LOL Mine carries my to boys. Gotta make sure Momma’s safe too.
I don’t know. If a wheel won’t rotate & you have to hit it with a hammer to fix it, It still has another problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
Hey Dave, I know this isnt related to brakes, but what was that old myth that you can unseize a tire by hitting it with a hammer?
