Doing my 2016 currently. I used the brake tool and just spun it in. No need for the backer plate. It just spins in by hand extremely easy.

I just did this job and you CAN actually put the caliper on while the bracket is already installed!

Thank you so very much for making this video. Could not have done this on our Jeep without it.

Came here to see you remove the godforsaken EPB motor that refuses to disengage for me and has thrown a fault on my instrument panel. I really appreciate you recording your handiwork!

You can full disengage the system in the system in the car on the screen. Go to brakes and disengage

You can, and to be fair I haven't ever had an issue with the Jeep system. I have had issues with a fair number of these systems on other cars. This is the most failsafe way of doing this if anybody runs into trouble. If not, then the factory service mod will be just fine.

More reliable then simply go into the system..brakes..disengage. it literally does it for you

You don't file the pad down unless you already removed the clips and removed the rust from the caliper bracket. On rare occasions will a pad backing plate be stamped too big to need correction.

Thanks for the great advice Brian! I’d caution anyone to be careful if they don’t have all new hardware (like in this case). It doesn’t always make it out in one piece, or the correct shape. I come across a lot of situations here in MN where corrosion has become an issue with tight tolerances between pads and caliper brackets. I do my best to best to make sure the pads easily move in the brackets.

Great idea to disconnect battery . I didn't and my dog kept going under the back and popping the hatch open with the motion sensor. lol

So confusing why not put it into service mode inside the vehicle and then disconnect the battery?

@bennieaust 5 ай бұрын

This job isn't for everybody. I wouldn't encourage you to do brake work if you have doubts about it. This is my preferred method based on a lot of real world experience many different models of cars. In the case of this Jeep, service mode is very accessible in the menu, but I have encountered many situations that for whatever reason vehicle did not go into service mode, scan tools didn't active service mode, or people doing DIY brake jobs did something wrong, accidentally exited service mode, over extended calipers and had to replace them. All of those situations are why I made this video showing a very reliable, easy, low-tech way to get it done. Thanks for watching!

@bennieaust hardest part of this job is getting the new pads to fit and not be too snug. Literally put it in service mode and disconnect the battery. Too funny just did this job

@bennieaust 5 ай бұрын

@@joshuabarr6511that’s great that you took the time to make them fit correctly. Not doing that is a good way to be doing a brake job prematurely again if they are binding.
