This video goes over how to replace front brakes and rotors on a 2015 Dodge Durango with a 3.6 motor. This should be the same process for any 2011-2021 Dodge Durango. Since front brakes do the majority of the work when you hit your brakes, they usually need to be replaced 2-3 times before the back brakes may need to be addressed. Since braking is extremely important to a vehicle, it’s a good idea to use at least a mid grade pad or better. These have a tendency to last longer, perform better and have less brake dust. It’s a good idea to purchase better quality rotors as well. They have a protective coating and are guaranteed for two years against warping. These provide better efficiency breaking and heat dissipation while controlling noise vibration and have less chance of failure. It's VERY IMPORTANT to pump your brakes several times until normal brake pressure returns. This is required to push the piston back out until the pads contact the rotor. There shouldn't be a need to bleed the brake system using this method.

I have a 22 with 9K. Dealer said out of warranty. Got the Car Quest stuff and went to work (seriously expensive).Two things. First, my rotor was held on by an O-ring or Rubber ring at the axle. After banging on that thing for ten minutes, I couldn't get it off but it felt loose. That's when I noticed the ring. Used a pick to get it off and the rotor slid out easy. The second thing is that I don't think 10mm is the right size. It was the biggest I had and did the job, but there's way to much play. I had to bang the tool off after final tightening. Thanks for the vid.

You're welcome, bolts sizes can vary from year to year, I would double check with your dealer a 2022 Durango would still have factory warranty three-year 36,000 bumper-to-bumper, and five-year 60 powertrain and why would it need brakes at 9000 miles.

Dealer said brakes are a wear item warranty good for one year from date of purchase. Needless to say, that dealer just lost all any business from me. Smooth as silk on the new rotors. Tried to get OEM rotors resurfaced, not enough material left when mic'd. What's that tell you about the quality? 9K miles.@@TheAutoTeacher

Good Info - worth noting that there are multiple (3 front and 2 rear) rotor options with these (at least with the 2017 I worked on today). Be sure to check rotor size (330mm and 350mm options as well as caliper bracket code 0317 and 0328 both have 350mm rotor options). Rear rotors are vented or unvented. 330mm front rotors will have unvented/solid rear rotors). Worth checking before hand as I had a 330mm rotor for a 350mm job unfortunately.

On a 2016 dodge Durango RT the allen key was 11mm or 7/16 and the caliper bracket bolts are a big external torx but a 16mm 12 point socket will work. Also has the 350mm rotor 13.8 inches across with heavy duty brakes

On all these videos no one mention about the rotor size or the brake pads size, I went to AutoZone and O'Reilly there's three different for the pad in the rotors for the Durango GT 2018

That's why you give them year, make and model of your vehicle and options when ordering the parts. There's always going to be variations on parts depending on your vehicles specifications V6,V8, tow package etc.

I hope this isn't a silly question but was is different about the rears? Or are they all the same? Great video by the way!
@TheAutoTeacher
@TheAutoTeacher 2 жыл бұрын
It's the same basic principle, but the rears don't turn out to make it easier to work on. The front pads and rotors are usually bigger because majority of a vehicles braking is done with the front brakes, so those pads will wear faster than the rears. So to answer your question no the front and rear are not the same. We actually have a video on the rear brakes if you search our channel!
