New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com trq.video/ia-1...
This video shows you how to install front brake pads and rotors from TRQ on your 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This repair was done on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L Sport Utility 4-Door AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I watched a similar video right before this one where they did not show the additional steps of greasing the pins and using a wire brush to clean off accumulate rust. Those little things make the difference between a great video and a mediocre one. Great job on showing us the right way to do this!

Nice video! Very well instructed and amazingly clear picture. I would recommend for higher mileage Jeeps or Jeeps doing a lot of off roading to go the extra step to rebuild the calipers. I have a 2004 and I neglected to do that last year and the left front seized up three days ago. Luckily I was close to home, so minimum damage was done. I'll be replacing both calipers tomorrow. 😫

Outstanding and worthy of special praise. You have given me the confidence to DIY my front brake pads. Many thanks.

[@stevenclayton333]

I wonder how many mechanics (Pep Boys and the like) take the extra time to clean things off and do a thorough job.

[@Artisan1.618]

It's important to replace both sides though, correct?

[@andrewmallard1974]

On my 99 limited they are 18mm bolts. Also I have Alan head bolts in the boots instead.

Great video.

[@amirbarati4580]

Perfect!

[@ronmitchell8929]

Haha, you put the tire on at the end it has the old rotor on it. ???

[@Jellydonut35]

That’s funny my calipers have some sort of extra hardware 😂
