Thanks for the vid. 2006 Jeep commnader still running strong since I can a lot of day work since people like you share the knowledge. The criticism from some people is unreal. Ignore them. Thanks again. Much appreciated!
Good vid! I picked up a couple tips. For others to note, I had to back-off the parking brake pads that "live inside" the drum of the disk rotor and then I needed a big hammer to convince the rotor to break free... but that may have been expected with 145,000 miles on them. Thanks again!
I don't think it can be too great of a video and I haven't started either watching it yet because I don't know how you're going to do it to a 2005 Commander when they don't exist... # super important.... if the rear rotor doesn't come off and make sure the emergency brake is off! Cuz if you leave the emergency brake on, the rear brake pads will be expanded for the emergency brake, and holding the rotor on. At 7:31 the caliber pin boots are torn. Replace them, grease them, before you have a stuck caliper lock your break up, and skid you sideways off the road. Last off, lock tight, blue, not red, on the caliper bolts. And if you loosen the bleeder screw to release the pressure to push the pads back, be mindful that if you break that bleeder screw you're in for a awful long walk to the auto store for a new caliper....just saying..
Worked out well on my 06 commander first time at it pads and rotors, saved some money, i will not go cheap on clamp as a bought a small one that broke and got stuck, get 9inch clamp at least, had to cut mine out,lol
Please do a review of the new Lenovo Yoga Book Windows version. I think you'd be perfect to review this product because of your quality reviews and personal interests.
Each time the brakes are applied, the rotors are turned a little bit. As long as the rotors run true and don't cause a pulsation in the brake peddle ... why turn them? Why cut off good metal? Just install new pads with the stainless steel installation 'slider kits' and change the brake fluid to remove moisture [using DOT 3 fluid] or 'slugs-and puddles' of water [using DOT 4 fluid]. DOT 3 is hygroscopic. Absorbs water and is removed by changing the fluid ... I do it yearly. DOT 4 is not hygroscopic and any bubble of water sits on or can 'touch' the internal black iron, steel, or aluminum components. I liked the video. Twice I changed, all four corners of my Commander's brakes. But never the internal parking brake pad. Brakes are brakes and are all the same on the Jeep products with minor changes from year to year.
Craig Weis when you put new pads on old rotors, the pad material doesn’t match and can cause squeaking and/or poor braking. It’s recommended to turn or replace rotors to get the pad material burnished into the rotors for beat brake response.
Hey Todd, great video. Was just thinking yesterday about changing pads and rotors on my 2006 Jeep Commander. This video came at a good time. Question: Is the procedure the same for the front brakes? Thanks!
Basic pad change is the same on all disc brakes. I suck out the brake fluid from the master with a turkey baster before using a 'C' clamp to close the caliper to make room for the new pads thickness. And replace with new DOT 3 brake fluid
How do you go about freeing up the e brake pads? I have a 2009 Commander and I can pull the rotor off about 1-2" then the e brake pads are holding onto the rotor! Any ideas? P.S. A bigger hammer don't work!😬

Thanks soo much Todd! First time changing the pads and rotors on my commander and this video was exactly what I needed!
Thank you very much for the great instructions, Todd!
Hi, great explanation very useful. Do the cover with the Jeep logo have a part number?
Wow! Thank you very much I didn't know that the 2005 jeep grand Cherokee had drum brake shoes too! I need to replace those asap

😊 excellent video
really good video ,, thanks brother 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒 the way you explain it its awesome
Nice Vid, mate. Thanks for your efforts
GRACIAS AMIGO
IT HELPED ME A LOT
THANK YOU
You didn’t talk about burnishing them after installing. If you’d like to maximize longevity and performance, breaking in correcting is recommended.

Well done sir!!!
Thanks Todd.

do you not need to put some kind of lubricant on the rear brakes?

Did you grease your pads??
13mm for the front caliper bolts also?

Nice.
Do you know about the amp on this car jeep commander
just changed the front break pads on 2008 jeep commander forgot which one on the caliper .. help!!!!!!
For the love of god please have someone else hold the camera next time..
