Thank you for helping me do this job! I was so intimidated at first, but you made it possible for me!! I'm a 37yo disabled female veteran and I DID IT!! THANK YOU!! 😊
I think you need more use of brake cleaner...LOL!! Kidding. If I had to drink each time you said Brake Cleaner...I'd have to push the brake job to the next morning..LOL. Seriously..You did a fantastic job on this video!! Well explained! Great angles..we could see everything you talked about. Well done!
I like the brake design, with the exception of the brake hose blocking the upper caliper slide pin. I always replace those pins, cleaning and greasing the bore. After application of brake grease, I would not be spraying brake-clean on rotors. Clean the braking surfaces of the rotors before mounting them.
I didn’t know if there was anything special with changing the rotors so I came here to watch this. Doesn’t appear so, but I will say I’m jealous of what you paid. I just paid 250 for rotors and pads in Alaska… I put new pads on the vehicle 7 months ago and the rear pads just failed, ruining the rotors in the process. Best part is my extended warranty won’t cover brake components!
Thanks Tom! I’ve been putting off changing my rear brakes and rotors for months because the top pin head is rounded off. I never realized I could just remove the lower pin and then swing the whole caliper assembly up like that. That’s been nagging me for too long! Thanks again!
seen in another video if you loosen the brake hose clamp on the other side that holds the hose then you can remove the upper caliper bolt so it can be greased
Thanks for the video. Just did mine today. The top caliper bolt wouldn’t budge for me, but it still opened like a clam shell no problem. Just wondering if loosening that top one is really even necessary? Didn’t seem to be for me.
You need to remove the caliper if you want to do it the correct way. That top bolt needs its sleeve greased if you want good movement. With all that rust i see there i would remove the top bolt by removing the caliper and bleed the breaks after i'm done. just my opinion.
Yep, Good video for sure but my top slide pin was OUT OF LUBE! (both sides) had to remove both calipers to do it correctly... one sign is the outside pad wear!@
Hey mundane thanks for this video.Well wanted to ask how do I repair this problem.I was driving and my 4wd, picture of a vehicle sliding and abs on.How do I fixed to go away.Please let me know thanks.I have same jeep Patriot same as yours and same year.
I just did mine and it seems the back pass side is sticking. Going to take it back apart and clean everything better and put more grease in the slides. Fingers crossed it works
@@mundaneman254 I cleaned it out with a small wire wheel and it came around. I had to much grease in there and it was pushing back causing the brakes to drag. All fixed now
Maybe someone can answer my question. I have a 2009 Patriot and I need new rear pads but I would like to know if you don't bleed the lines will the pressure from compressing the calipers cause your ABS system to fail. I have heard that you must bleed the lines and update the ABS system on the computer when you are done with everything. I had to replace my ABS system a couple of years ago and it wasn't cheap so I would like to know if this information is correct to determine who I will get to replace my pads. Thank you for any help that you might give.
Nope, my rear brakes on this model of Patriot are disc brakes. I think the entry level Patriot has drum brakes in the rear that that is a totally different process than the disc brakes.
That would have been good information for me to post and sadly don't know the exact brand name. I purchased at NAPA and it was the "middle-of-the-road" priced pads and rotors. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive either.
No its not the cvt saving your brakes 🤦♂️ Your rear brakes dont get used like your front brakes The front brakes do all the work and your rears just assist with slowing the car down
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY. Failure to remove and re grease that upper slide bolt will cause it to seize and will guaranteed pre maturely ruin your pad and possibly damage your caliper. The caliper must be removed and bled for this job to be done correctly. By now he’s learned his mistake I’m absolutely sure
You absolutely do need to bleed the caliper after you’ve removed it from the brake line I mean unless you want to do it incorrectly like an a hole sure go ahead
@@lukasray471 lol you clearly can’t read. If you don’t remove that bolt so you can RE GREASE IT! It WILL SEIZE. I own this car and tried doing it that lazy ass way. Try it, won’t work out. If you try saying otherwise you have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe if you live in the perfect climate you’ll be ok but on salted roads I can assure you it will not be ok
@@lukasray471 yeah why don’t you go ask a real mechanic what to expect when you don’t grease a slide bolt for 100,000 miles. They’ll all tell you the same thing and make you feel like a dumb ass good luck with your hack job

Nicely done. I was having a meltdown over the brake line interfering with the top bolt. As you said, "thanks a lot, Chrysler engineers".
Thank you for helping me do this job! I was so intimidated at first, but you made it possible for me!! I'm a 37yo disabled female veteran and I DID IT!! THANK YOU!! 😊
That’s amazing to hear! Yay for the wins! And thank you for your service
solid video; i could for the life of me figure out how the brackets clips fit.
Thanks! saved me a lot of money
doing my front disc brakes on my 2015 patriot this weekend, this is probably the best video I've seen so far.
DONT LISTEN TO HIM
Eh maybe front I won’t watch anymore he don’t know what he’s doing lol
thanks Tom! have the same vehicle. saved me a bunch of money doing it myself with your help.
Much respect! I’ll be using your guide today! The kid is going to the races and I don’t have to play daddy taxi today lol. Getting some stuff done!
Thank you for teaching me how to change my breaks and rotors! I’m just getting into cars and this is greatly appreciated!
nice job, you are the only one showing this exact vehicle, that top caliber bolt, PIA. THANKS AGAIN
I think you need more use of brake cleaner...LOL!! Kidding. If I had to drink each time you said Brake Cleaner...I'd have to push the brake job to the next morning..LOL.

You need not loosen the top one. It will pivot on the slider.
Great video!
Couldn't get that top bolt off,because of the brake line.i took off the bracket bolts and put new pads in.who designed this?
Thanks Tom! I’ve been putting off changing my rear brakes and rotors for months because the top pin head is rounded off. I never realized I could just remove the lower pin and then swing the whole caliper assembly up like that. That’s been nagging me for too long! Thanks again!
What size rotors please?
Good video short and to the point, thank you.
seen in another video if you loosen the brake hose clamp on the other side that holds the hose then you can remove the upper caliper bolt so it can be greased
Dude, thanks for this. Never had anyone to show me so I appreciate it

Happy it helped.

Thanks, this video helped me. 👍
I’m looking on partgeeks for brake pads, rotors and sensors, is there a set for this? And what would it be called ?
I have a 2016 jeep patriot 4WD 2.4L and I am trying to figure out the rear brakes and rear rotors. Is there two different sizes?
Thank you, great video 👍
No problem 👍
I just did mine and it seems the back pass side is sticking. Going to take it back apart and clean everything better and put more grease in the slides. Fingers crossed it works

What the size for rear rotor?
Great video!

What brand of brake shoes did you get? Hard time finding what I need off line.
What jack point are you using? The differential? Is it safe? As far as I know, it is not documented as a jack point on the Patriot.
Here is a link to a site that shows the jacking points. www.jeeppatriot.com/threads/patriot-lifting-jacking-points.328106/
Great job. I love it.
Nice job man
Thanks for the great, helpful video. Jesus loves you, have a blessed day.
Thanks
Nice job. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Your rear brakes were drum brakes right? Would the process for disc brakes be much different?
Nope, my rear brakes on this model of Patriot are disc brakes. I think the entry level Patriot has drum brakes in the rear that that is a totally different process than the disc brakes.
Is the rear brake used when the brake pedal is pushed?
Yes it is. As a general rule front brakes do 70% of the stopping and rear do 30%.
Would this be the same for a FW model?
Yes. I believe the process is the same but make sure the parts are the same.
How thick are the back rotors?
Good
Thanks and is this the same with the front disc brakes?
You need to replace the brake calipers as well.
What brand rotors and brake pads did you use?
That would have been good information for me to post and sadly don't know the exact brand name. I purchased at NAPA and it was the "middle-of-the-road" priced pads and rotors. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive either.
They looked like the bosch brake rotors on amazon.
where you get your rotors
I could not for the life of me get the damn bolts off.
dude get a breaker bar to go over the wrench
No its not the cvt saving your brakes 🤦♂️
Your rear brakes dont get used like your front brakes
The front brakes do all the work and your rears just assist with slowing the car down
Great but u talk too much
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY. Failure to remove and re grease that upper slide bolt will cause it to seize and will guaranteed pre maturely ruin your pad and possibly damage your caliper. The caliper must be removed and bled for this job to be done correctly. By now he’s learned his mistake I’m absolutely sure
You absolutely do need to bleed the caliper after you’ve removed it from the brake line I mean unless you want to do it incorrectly like an a hole sure go ahead
And you do need to remove the line to get that slide bolt out because they engineered it so the line is it right in front of the bolt.
@@lukasray471 lol you clearly can’t read. If you don’t remove that bolt so you can RE GREASE IT! It WILL SEIZE. I own this car and tried doing it that lazy ass way. Try it, won’t work out. If you try saying otherwise you have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe if you live in the perfect climate you’ll be ok but on salted roads I can assure you it will not be ok
@@lukasray471 I finally did it THE RIGHT WAY and could very clearly see my laziness bit me real good
@@lukasray471 yeah why don’t you go ask a real mechanic what to expect when you don’t grease a slide bolt for 100,000 miles. They’ll all tell you the same thing and make you feel like a dumb ass good luck with your hack job
We cant get the top one off with that stupid brake line in the way and the other bolts fully stripped out, this job sucked.
Great video!
What diameter is the rear rotor you purchased, mines a 07 jeep patriot should be same diameter I believe.
Thanks for the video
