You are welcome. Thank you for the positive feedback! Makes it all worth while. Terry

Awesome! good luck! Terry

You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback. Glad to help. Terry

Thanks! We try to get it right. Terry

Thank you for the kind words. Glad it helped. We try our best to make things clear. Some times the simplest detail can seem so complicated until you understand it. Some people say we give to many details, lol. You just can not please everyone. Terry

Absolutely

You are quite welcome and thank you. Terry

I think a lot of people could do more for themselves. Many just need a little confidence boast. Of course there are some who just are not cut out for this type stuff. I agree a penny saved is a penny earned. We have saved a small fortune by doing our own work. Building this homestead/farm and our houses, barn, shop and other outbuildings is going to be saving us a huge fortune. We will be saving several years worth of income for each of us in the next year or so. Saving money is music to my ears. Thanks for watching and hanging out with us shade tree mechanics, ha ha!

You are welcome! Terry

Hey happy Fox. We are hoping to be posting a lot more videos the rest of this year and on into the next year. There has been a change in our working status that soon should allow us to start making huge progress on our farm project. Its been a long time coming and what we have been working toward for many years. Do not ever let someone tell you that you can not do something. Put your mind to it, work hard every day for it and you would be surprised at what you can accomplish. Get someone else on board with you like my family (including my son, wife and daughter in law) have been with me and great things can be accomplished. Hang on because its fixing to get very interesting! Terry PS Thanks for sticking it out and being one of our long time followers on this channel.

No problem at all. Glad to help! Thanks for watching!! Terry

Good points. Yeah its a difficult task. I have been blessed with good mechanical skills. :) When I was just a kid maybe 12 or so I watched my grandpa fight with the breaks on grandmas car for about an hour or more lol. I learned some new and interesting words that day. I kept telling him to let me try but he did not listen. Finally after the struggle he stepped back and said go ahead if you think you are so good. I reached over and put everything in place without a bit of struggle on the first attempt. He was blown away. He gained a new respect for me that day. :) Terry

Thank you. Terry

You are welcome! Pads might be to thin or the adjuster may not be set right? Hopefully new pads get you going. Terry

Thanks you so much Ronald! Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving as well. Terry

Thank you and thanks for the comment! Terry

Hey Leonard. Thanks for the tip! I will try to remember that next time I deal with breaks like this again. Some times the simplest solution is right in front of you, you just have to recognize it. Terry

Your Jeep must be set up different than ours was. No need to fool with the cable. Terry

Great! I love saving money by doing my own work! Terry

Yeah I have done that many times in my younger days when I was a mechanic. When working in my yard/patio I generally try to only have one wheel off at a time for safety but not always. Terry

Not gonna lie to you. I was flying by the seat of my pants on this project. I will say that the cable was very very loose and everything went together easily. If when putting the pads in things became difficult or the cable seemed tight I would have loosened it at that point. I am no expert and that may not be the correct way to do things but it worked for me. The thing is I have been blessed with decent mechanical skills and judgement. You have to know your limitations. Not being there Or knowing you I would have to advise going by the book. Hope that helps. 😁 Terry

Thank you for sharing your experience. I asked the same question on a forum for wj jeep owners and a few people who have also done the job said that the job can be done entirely outside of the rear of the vehicle. No one has mentioned so far that they had to go inside and remove parts. I have decent mechanical skills so I feel pretty good about getting the job done after seeing the process on video. Thank you again for your help.

I think the service manual is adding extra precautions in case of a worst case scenario. I will be prepared to gain access to the cables if needed, but I am going to avoid tearing all that stuff out at the start if I don’t need to.

They probably do like you said for the worse case. But they also base you cost on time. If that is a step they will most likely charge by the book even if they skip the step. Not saying a dealer would try to get a few extra bucks out of you but they do sometimes 🤪 Terry

They don’t make these cars easier to work on over time. They try to make it impossible for us or at least it seems that way.

Yes but far as I know you should always adjust them when first installed. Terry

Thanks for the input and thanks for watching! Terry

Yeah I have use them in the past but do not own one, yet. Terry

Depends on what is wrong with it I guess. I had my back tires lock up once when the break shoes fell apart about 40 years ago. I Assume it could happen to the Jeep as well. Could be rear end or transmission problems as well. I am not an expert on the subject. We do this stuff on a need basis, ha ha. Then we just tear things apart and see what its gonna take to fix them. Terry

I have never done that and have changed many breaks over the years without issue. 🤪 so far. Three of those vehicles were owned by us for 20+ years. Still driving my 1999 F150 and plan to drive it until it starts falling apart. Lol Terry

Yes they seemed to have come unglued. We did use ours daily. Terry

Yes you have to adjust both sides. Terry

Thanks Terry!

@@Claysfun No problem!

Ok. 😁

Each side will need to be adjusted independent of the other. Hope that helps. Terry

It's true, you should adjust both sides at the same time, but the cable is set up to compensate for some deviation from side to side.

Thanks.

Sorry. :) Thanks for watching! Terry

Not a bad idea. Terry

Gotta say this was a fairly easy break job. Some can be a real pain. Terry

It is was not saying much about wear. We were changing the breaks and it was getting old, a 1998 so we changed them since we were in there. I have seen very old breaks simply fall apart. They are cheap so it just makes sense yo change them. Thanks for watching!! Terry

Yikes. Sounds rough. Terry

Marco Murillo I have this exact jeep. Been doing brakes on my own vehicles since 1971. This is the worst job I have encountered. Very little room to maneuver . The clips are okay but the top spring is a nightmare . This guy seemed to do it a LITTLE TOO EASY. He has superhuman strength or something is fishy.

Ha ha. I work with my hands daily and always have. Terry
