    Your tip to pry the pads back while still on the brackets was invaluable! I used to take the brackets off with the pads still in there and use a big C clamp to push them back, but that is awkward as the bracket would move freely while trying to apply pressure. Your way works soooo much better! Thank you

      do not do. the brake piston are made out of plastic and will crack.

    What’s appealing about your vids beside your knowledge is your humility. You never trash talk, you stick to the script and that is refreshing.

    JIm your videos are the best. I used your videos to change pads and rotors on 2004 Infiniti FX35 (getting one of the rotors off was a major challenge) and here for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler brake pads. Everything you said and did is spot on. I am far from an expert but after doing these brakes I feel confident in tackling any brake job. Thank you for your amazing videos, the way you deliver the content, and your sense of humour (love the ending - you better pump those brakes or you might find yourself in big trouble).

    I learned about pumping up the brake pedal when you are finished after changing the front rotors, and brake pads on a 1987 S-10 Blazer I own. I got the job done, but had to pump them up once I completed the work on the brakes. My newer vehicles are easy to work on since I know what to do, and have so many special tools to make the work easier.

    Terrific video Jim! Really helped me on my 16 JKU. Really good video quality and commentary. Brake squeal is gone. Great tip on not twisting the brake line. I think the only thing I was stuck on for a minute was the positioning of my new clips (high side placement). Thanks for publishing this!

    Little tip...
    The pad with the silver " Warning Scrubber" attached goes on the same side of the bracket that the bolt heads are. The pads look alike and it can be comfusing if you didn't notice when removing the old ones

    If the E-brake is holding on to the rotor, you can back off the e-brake shoes by going to the backing plate, remove the oval shaped plug (save it to put it back when you are done) and use a screwdriver or a brake spoon to back off the adjuster star wheel. Then, once the new rotor is on, readjust it with the rotor on to make sure you are not dragging and that it is adjusted enough to engage properly.
    Torque Specs for 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU (applies to most Wranglers 2008-2018):
    REAR Caliper Brackets: 77 Ft. Lbs.
    Front Caliper Brackets: 100 Ft. Lbs.
    Slider Pins: 26 Ft. Lbs.
    Wheel Lugs: 122 Ft. Lbs.
    You can apply 'never seize' to the hub after removing rust (where the inside rotor face meets the hub and lugs) to keep it from fusing in the future. (a little goes a long way).
    Grease for the pad hardware and slider pins MUST be HIGH TEMPERATURE grease. Silicone grease is recommended. Regular grease will 'liquefy' at much lower temps and can contaminate the pads and rotor surface.

  • @dduplechian
    @dduplechian 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great video, i might add that when you push the pads back in, your pushing fluid back through the system. you should keep an eye on the level and make sure it doesn't come out the reservoir. I also like to flush the lines with new fluid, and bleed them. Not always necessary, but good measure.

    • @TwistedBinderz
      @TwistedBinderz 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought pushing the fluid like that into the ABS manifold was a bad thing?

    • @jimthecarguy

      No that don't unless you open a brake line or bleeder valve. Great job.Thanks for watching.

  • @jaymanxxxx

    Thank you. How about opening the master cylinder to prevent any brake fluid overflowing when you retreat the caliper piston?

    • @jimthecarguy
      @jimthecarguy  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that is good advice especially if the master cylinder was over filled. Thanks for your input.

  • @abiseid

    Thanks a bunch. Your video was very helpful with my brake job.
    One thing that I noticed is that the factory slide pin bolts on the calipers had some RED loctite from factory. I went a head and put a rop or two upon reassembly but I did not hear you cover that. Is is necessary?

    • @jimthecarguy

    Wow! Nice Jimmy! Rear break job - one wheel - done in about 18 minutes. ;^)
    That's .3 per wheel. So rear brakes on a Wrangler are just about .6 hours maybe another .2 for jacking it up and pulling the wheels off.
    Right?

  • @BlackKnight6667
    @BlackKnight6667 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You failed to show the E-Brake adjustment location and functionality behind the brake housing. One of my brake rotors the e-Brake had broken and stayed nearly engaged, it formed a wear line that almost prevented me from getting the rotor off the hub. If not for a neighbor that knew about the adjuster I'd still be working on trying to get it off (spent 3 hours before, and another hour after trying after opening the adjuster all the way). Definitely, something to show on anything to do with the rear brakes, unless you WANT to replace all your e-Brake pads and springs...

      Brad Goodin You can do this but it's not necessary. Moreover I used to see some People doing "Bleeder Valve loose" for Vehicles BMW and Mercedes while often people don't practice these for these Vehicles as well.
      You can see for BMW and Mercedes brake job videos in TH-cam.

    • @jeffd3844
      @jeffd3844 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, you should & you should bleed the brakes, too. The cruddy fluid is inside the caliper and you certainly don't want to push that stuff back up through the ABS module.

    • @dylankinch2735
      @dylankinch2735 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      TECHNICALLY THE procedure prolly says u should but ask anyone in ny or the salt belt and il betr they tell u they dont touch bleeders unless they absolutley have to. ive done tons of brake jobs just like this and nev er had one issue. around here bleeders seize up quick andif u break it off a simple break job just got shitty fast. no need to open them when depressing piston as far as im concered. ill bet eric o would agree
