    Fun Fact: That Rubber O ring is only on there for when the jeep is being assembled in the Factory so it can go down the line without falling off, You cant even buy a replacement if you lose or break one, So don't worry if you don't have one or you lose one in the process, Also i would recommend to just replace the caliper bolts as they are cheap to replace

    Right... I also made the mistake of not taking a close look at my emergency brakes when doing the brakes on my F-350.
    Then my son was getting married and asked me to bring the rented benches all the guests would be sitting on during the ceremony some 130 miles out to the ocean and... yep, my e-brake system fell apart from the dust shield in on the left side.
    I had to rent a U-Haul to accomplish the bench mission for a cool $750 bucks and then go back in and replace all that bull shit.
    The moral of the story is, take a close look at your e-brakes even if you don't use them. Make sure everything is working well and gets lubricant where they need it before you just slap the rotor back over them.

    Just an FYI, don't use thread locker on any caliper bolts. If anything, use anti seize or light grease to remove next change. Proper torque spec will prevent them from coming loose. Also....lube your slide bolts to prevent uneven brake wear. Good video otherwise!!🤘

    The pads were worn right down on one side which indicated a seized caliper slider (s).. But you didn't clean them up? Only added an artists brush if grease. You didn't advise if you fitted coated discs which would prevent corrosion from the non contact areas.
    You didn't properly prep the discs or the pads to ensure a good mating surface. I didn't see you thoroughly clean the brake caliper and support bracket. Worse of all was that you didn't clean up the handbrake shoes let alone adjust them after fitting new discs.. Why not?
    Also.. Wear nitrile gloves and a dust mask. Brake dust is a contaminant
    Other than that is was a very clear video.
