That was an amazingly informative details guide on how to do a brake job on the jeep. I also have to commend you for taking the time to explain everything and the wonderful camera work. Nice job
When you remove the old rotor to help with future removal either a dab is Anti-Seize on the rotor hub or in the case of the O-ring then a small coating of silicone based lubricant usually same grease as the slide pins.
Great video man, this helped a lot and was exactly what I was looking for. One note on the large spring clip, I was going round and round to figure out how it kept the outer pad from rattling. I don't believe it does. I think all that large spring clip does is tension the caliper to keep it from rattling. If it does anything to the outer brake pad, I'm clueless as to how that works. It doesn't touch the brake pad at all.
The caliper mounting bolts on 2016 GC are different ==! It's really annoying the manufacturer keep changing those bolts and we have to buy different sets of sockets...
@@outdoorsman6896 thanks i just chsnged mines on 2015 jeep grand cherokee overland 3.6l. Tje store gave me 350mm vented front and 330mm solid rear. The 350mm were bigger then the stock ones so i went back to the store and it was 330mm vented fronts and 330mm solid rears.
Excellent Video!!! No distracting music.....volume just right...not too fast...very detailed and informative - You nailed this. Much appreciated!
Kind words...great comment!
Finally......a Video that shows someone using the old pads against the C clamp to compress the piston.....
Thanks from Germany. Used your Tutorial today. Everything worked.
I'm glad I helped!

No retaining screw for the rotor...I like that!!!

The allen head socket for the front caliper bolts is 11MM - typically not found in sets.
OK thanks. It was in my set.

Sounds good to me!
I did my brakes several times but I keep forgetting how to remove that metal thing that holds the outer pad. THANKS!
I saw that pad on backwards!
Was going to fast ....
Lol yep

What size is the caliper guide pin??
Hi, I didn't put it in because there's often a slight difference between makes and models. I think it was a 7?
Uhm sir the pads on backwards😂
so is the back a 17-18-19 MM?? and the front is a 21mm not a 19??
Hi Mark. I did this a long time ago so my memory doesn't go that far back :) You'll have to just use trial and error!
People bug you about using impact wrench to take off lug nuts? I would bug you if you didnt use one
Right on Mark. I have one, so I'm going to use it.
@@DougBrownVancouver Right on. The pros use them at tire dealers so why wouldnt we?
What size Allen wrench for the guide pins?
Hi, I'm sorry but I don't recall--couple of years ago!
11mm
Really?? Has no one noticed that the brake pad it in the wrong way round!!?????? Lets hope he corrected that before he drove the car.
It was a few years back. I do the job for the video then tend to redo it. But you're right!
Is the o-ring reallly that important or could I do with out putting it on, if I broke one?
I would absolutely install the O-ring.
Are the front rotors 330mm or 350mm
The front rotors are 350mm on the heavy duty brake package (incl. with the 5.7L Hemi and/or tow package), excludes SRT and Trackhawk models.

wrong size 2011-14 caliper is 11mm not 7/16 11mm not 10 not 12 just my two cents (and 5 grand cherokees later lol)
Same size at least for this job.
For anyone watching, use 11mm or 7/16" which is more or less the same size.
