Nice video, big upgrade

Great video- thank you!

Great video and very professionally done. My only piece of information to add is that it's damn near impossible to remove the rotor bolt with just a 5mm allen key. I basically stripped the bolt trying to use an allen key to take it out. According to Jeep forums you need a Torx T30 adapter to get that rotor bolt out, preferably with a breaker bar since the rust really makes it seize up. Other than that, this video helped a lot. I was going crazy trying to find a E20 bit for the caliper adapter bolts, the 5/8 bit you suggested worked perfectly! Thanks again.

Thanks guys! I appreciate you time. That dealership would have charged me $1200 for parts and labor.

Great job !!! Thanks for the birthday gift ☺️ sooo much better driving now

I do mine today and i see your clip late !! Have the e24 and i dont know i found the info but is e20 !! I do same as you but clean the rust before rotor to be perfect sit

What about the spreader springs?? Do you replace or discard

make a video about changing coolant (draining coolant), alternator, serpentine belt, etc

Good shiz “” those rotors look cool af”

Awesome video! Glad i came across this! Where did you place your floor jack and jack stand on?

Thanks Bam

I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee latitude v6. I’m due for a rotor and pad replacement. Every site is giving me a kit that has vented brake pads when my car currently has vented front and solid rear pads. Would I be fine buying a new rotor and pad kit with vented rear and front?

if you smack outward on the rotor to get it off instead of hitting it into the hub you lower the risk of damaging the front hub. And they only put the bolt in the rotor to keep it on during the building process after that its useless so you dont need to put it back in I use to install that part at the factory for that reason only .

My best way to push the piston back is I use the old brake pads and put them together and then I use a C clamp and they make it easy to push the piston back.

Good video. I would have cleaned caliper, anchor and painted prior to assembling with new parts. Proper torque is needed on the bolts, you should hit correct values on caliper bolts, anchors and wheel nuts .... over torque is almost as bad as undertorque. Verify master cylinder fluid has correct amount of fluid is also needed. Thanks for posting, always nice to watch someone do the job before trying it yourself the first time.

i gotta ask why didnt you use the brake service software from the infotainment ? in my compass trailhawk i have an option to retract the brakes does that not retract the piston all the way or is it only for teh rear brakes?

Nice, I hang the caliper with a coat hanger.

Do the mounting bracket bolts need to be replaced or can they be reused? I have read in some forums that the bolts need to be replaced if you remove the mounting bracket to replace the rotor

where did you buy these rotors? do they have offer other makes

Any recommendation brand for front and back?! I heard few like bosch, powerstop, raybestos, brembo?

Did you reuse the bracket bolts? Aren't they torque to yield?

Should put some antiseize on the hub before install the new rotor....

Did you replace the spreader springs or discard them

Aren't those caliper bracket bolt's 1-time use torque to yield?

Did you have to open the master cylinder first when using this tool?

Did the pads have holes to attach the spring clip?

Did you reuse or replace the e20 bolts?

Safe to assume this video will not be accurate for the 2020 JGC, since the video says 2014-2018?

My 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk has caliper pistons that have to be turned or spun in, you'd can't compress them with the tool.

When i collapse the caliper I use a C clamp or vise grip c clamps pushing against a old brake pad so both pistons go in at the same time . The tool your using is to turn the rear caliper bolts back in as they turn in. The calip[er piston should never pop out lol And when you push the pedal to build up the pressure never push to the floor you can damage the proportion valve

It is too hard to put those spreader springs back on. I put them on and the brake pads pop out. Too much spring. I guess I have to not install them. I even tried to clamp the pads in place, to put in the springs, but as soon as I unclamp, a pad shoots out.

My only concern is when you push the pistons back into the caliper. You did not have the bleeder open therefore any contamination There might have been.you have pushed back into the system.

Is the rear calipers the same?

Guess I’ll share my bit. I used to work for Les Schwab and they were highly into selling as much product as possible. The lady only needed a flat repair and was on her way to a wedding - to be a bridesmaid - and she was in her dress. She needed brakes but not THAT badly. My manager convinced me to sell her brakes and said we could get it turned around in under an hour (which is possible I can do 40 minute pads, calipers, rotors, bleed n flush. Not hard and she needed all of it). Except this fucking vehicle was a Jeep of some sort (it was 2015 I don’t remember) and the front rotors could only be removed through the removal of the hub assembly - which upon inspection was completely shot, and we did not have the hub assembly on hand - so we had to order one. On top of that you had to disassemble the entire control arm to remove the hub assembly Long story short - I was not qualified to be working on this. And I let my manager pressure me into making a sale which while necessary, was not appropriate to make given the woman’s schedule. Because the vehicle could not be reassembled without functional parts, and the sheer amount of time it took for the parts to arrive, what started as a 15 minute flat repair turned into a 9 hour brake job which we stayed open for late, she missed the wedding, and we comped her the whole thing. I learned a very valuable lesson that day and it’s the only job I did in my 2 years that I’m truly ashamed of.

Anyone followed these instructions for a 2020? Just curious how different it is.

They suck in northern climates..they grow rust faster than weeds just after 1 night. Leave it a month and they are ruined.

damn the tires look worn af

Look too easy
