Well done, video is spot on and no BS!! The JL/JT set up is much better than the JK’s, especially the rear calipers…the JK’s has much smaller rear pads that only last 25-30k miles. This dual piston caliper set up is a huge upgrade!!

Need to see a closeup of the clips with the return spring. The pads aren’t pushing away from the rotor. Something isn’t right here.

Same issue here. Not sure what is the problem.

Is it the same process for the rear pads/rotors?

@AStanton1966 6 ай бұрын

Because of the E brake it's a different animal. I've seen on other Jeeps where it's required to go into the Uconnect menu and click on "brake service" before doing any work.

Similar, same, or different procedure for the rear pads/rotors ??? Thanks for this video, Rob excellent host/installer, as usual...

@danandsamk6799 3 ай бұрын

I was wondering the same thing. On some vehicles you need a special tool to turn the rear caliper pistons back in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@briangray6372 Жыл бұрын

Great video thanks! But when did rotors become a ware item like pads. since I got my JL almost every pad kit has rotors. Even the JK only had upgraded replacment rotors, now everyone is selling more rotors than pads.

Great video as always Rob! When do I need replace the rotors as opposed to just the brake pads.

@Quadratec 2 ай бұрын

A number of factors come in to play to indicate when it's time to replace your brake rotors. If you noticed squealing or grinding noises when braking, or the rotors have developed deep groves, or it's taking more distance and time to stop, it could be an indication to replace your rotor.

When torqued to 148 the bottom bolt actually touched the rotor and caused damage. When trying to back it out the bolt broke. Great video but the torque must be incorrect.

@trail_tracker Ай бұрын

I have the same problem as others that brake pads don’t push away from the rotors. Can you show real good close up of the brake pads and clips?

@richardc120 Жыл бұрын

I’m assuming it’s the same for the rear brakes as well?

Curious, I don’t like the amount of brake dust the OEN pads give off, is there another pad that has or give the same thickness and stopping power without or with minimal brake dust? Like maybe a ceramic brake pads? I’ve used similar ones for a different vehicle by STOPTECH, they were great, but I now have a Jeep and don’t know if they make them for Jeeps.

Yes, not NOT over torque the retaining screw, I don't put them back in myself, as they are not necessary.

@EcuChris Жыл бұрын

Why the heck did Jeep decide to use a Torx head on these screws? I've never seen a hand impact screwdriver with a Torx head attachment (at the hardware store anyway). Definitely use a coating of anti seize if ya'll decide to put these back on. You will thank yourself later.

Is there any substantial difference between the process here and for a 2010 JK Rubicon? Rear rotors and pads a similar process? Thanks for the great videos?

@attnielthomas7856 Жыл бұрын

Happy New Year in advance. JKs use small clips on each stud to hold the rotor in place while the JL uses a screw. Otherwise it seems mostly the same.

My rear brake caliper bracket broke into pieces somehow. I've never seen this happen on any other car. Makes me question Mopar parts quality.

Are the rears different than the front?

Nvm. I saw your video just now on steel brake lines and saw they are a bit different in the rear

How about bleeding the system after all is done?

@pilot_gibbs2159 Жыл бұрын

If I’m not mistaken he used a c clamp and forced the caliper back without the need to open the bleed valve on the back to relieve pressure. If you open the bleed valve I believe this allows air inside the lines and then you would need to bleed the system to ensure there was no air. He basically forced the caliper back into position instead of moving it back the easy way.

@naamangeist7843 Жыл бұрын

Why are all these youtube videos front only? I need the torque specs for the back and they're smaller bolts, therefore less torque.

@CheaperJeeperTV Жыл бұрын

I made a video which shows both front and back, with torque specs.

@@naamangeist7843What is the rear torque spec? Can you share here?

@naamangeist7843 Ай бұрын

26 FT-LB with 10mm socket and 74 FT-LB on the larger bolts with 18mm socket. This is on my 392 XR so if your bolts take a different socket size, these torque specs are not for yours.
