Great video Thank You. I use a bungee cord to suspend the calipers….fyi.
Thanks so much for a great video. For others who may run into a similar
problem: 2007 Grand Cherokee V6’s have an O-ring that act as a retainer and
hold the front rotors onto the hub. It is easily removed and reused
(doesn’t come with any brake parts kits that I’ve seen so far), but it can
be a pain if you don’t realize what it does.
Awesome video! Thanks for the tutorial dude
Nice Video. One thing I would add, for those who have not done it before.
There is a rubber o-ring from the factory around the hub that helps hold
the rotor in place on the rear. Up north it tends to deteriorate and may
not be there, but if it is still there and you don’t know it, getting the
rotor off can be a challenge.
Check out the video of me putting on my lift kit – I take out and reinstall
my front struts. Thanks for watching!
I just did mine on friday it took me four and half hours. Road salt does
wonders on rotors and hubs. good video though
I’m glad I watch your videos. Using another tool to get more leverage
helped me when I was changing my spark plugs. That one in the back I
couldn’t get a good grip to turn it but using the method you suggested made
it super easy!
what about bleeding the breaks?
BFG Mud Terrains. They are the same tires that come stock on a Rubicon JK
Wranlger…
Shoo, it was well over 100 degrees out when I recorded that this summer, so
yeah, totally. Flip flops and baggy shorts FTW!
nice video, this should be a sticky on a forum called, brakes for dummies.
you went into very good detail that i thought was just common sense with
the breaker bar and such, good job
Gah! You glossed over the part I’m struggling with! How the heck did you
get the actuator lever back on the rears?? Mine fell off during disassembly
and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with the system since
the shoes were already hard-pressed on the inside of the rotor. Help??
Great video. The only thing that is missing is how you remove the rear
rotors. I am having trouble with this, and don’t want to break anything. I
can’t tell if there is an O-Ring or something on the outside that needs to
be removed, but it’s not coming off with a hammer. Are there some bolts
that need to be removed. Thank you!
Great Video, Man! Where did you order your parts from?
Hey man great vid. i normally don’t work on my vehicles but after watching
your vid i said “F” it. first front brake took me about 45 min but all the
rest went about half that time. Oh and i found out my parking brake shoes
came off and were rolling inside the rotor on the rear right wheel. i’ll be
replacing those this weekend. excellent vid.
Why did you choose mopar parts?
there is 4×4 watch 2.00 min))))))) WK is not front wheel drive corolla
Hey man I have a 05 grand cherokee 2
quite informative. thank you. i am going to be replacing my front
rotors/brake pads, but i think that ill go pay to have someone replace the
rears, i dont have that kind of patience. im almost sold on old man emu’s
lift kit, comes with new shocks and coils and is more expensive than the
pucks but i hear nothing but great results from people. cheers!
Without air tools, there’s more blood, sweat, and tears involved. .
I see the shipping labels on the box, where did you order from and does it
all come together rotors, pads, and other bits? Oh, and a another method is
using a C-Clap if you have one big enough it’s what I been using for 15
years to push the pistons back in.
Great brake changing attire…. Seriously?
What size socket to get off the caliper? 1/2 inch?
Great video I changed my rear brakes with your video made the job super
easy.
What kind of tires do you have?
Glad this helped out! Amazing how some of these little “tricks of the
trade” can help get people out of a pickle. Thanks for watching!
awesome video! helped me out.
Unfortunately 3.7 2wd but i love your videos. So helpful!!! But you should
make one on front shocks 🙂
