Awesome video mate, super easy job but yet people will still pay $100 for someone else to fit them
Thank you! I appreciate it. I agree, the more people understand about the details of most jobs the more they will understand it is something they can do themselves…. and save money!
no locktight? Had my caliper come loose ...
You will see this topic debated. If the owners manual calls for it then you should follow the owners manual. I have not read any requirement for the JKUs. I have never put Loctite on the Jeep caliper bolts. I have heard some people do. In fact, we put anti-seize and it is torqued to the correct specification. I have had zero issues. Chevrolet / GM has some manuals calling for it a threadlocker. I have seen different forums where GM seems to use this. I know people up north in the snow and salted roads who use antisieze as well to help ensure they don't break seized bolts when removing them. Because of the question, I will call Jeep Service Center to get an official answer.
If you use Loctite, we suggest using the blue versus the red.
what about bleeding the brakes? I've seen some other videos where they bleed their brakes
This video is only showing how to change a front brake pad. This video does not include how to bleed your brakes nor does it include how to change your rotor. In normal operations, you should not need to bleed your brakes every time you change your pads. But, if you have a completely worn pad, however, there is a risk the fluid level in the master cylinder drops too far and air gets into the brake system. Bleeding brakes means your bleeding fluid and air bubbles out of the system. Some indicators which may mean you need to bleed your brakes are brakes start to feel "spongy"... stopping is taking longer, if you are replacing completely worn pads as described above it can require bleeding of your brakes. Definitely if you find fluid leaks and have to repair or replace lines and I would discuss your specific vehicle with a service provider but 1 time every 1-1.5 years may be needed. If you are having any of these issues, I would have a certified technician inspect your brake system because there could also be other issues; caliper wear, function, mechanical failure. I appreciate your question and it gives us a good idea for a new video specifically on how to bleed your brakes if you do it at home. Thank you.
A recent video I saw had you opening up the reservoir before pushing the piston back in the caliper. Seems like that would help both situations. Only possible issue would be if you topped off fluid while brakes were low, you may end up with an excessive amount of spare fluid. Love the video and love Jeep wrenching!
Thank you.
Yes, the reason I open up the top of the reservoir is to ensure there is not pressure when pushing the caliper back. So with the cap, it creates pressure as the fluid will rise. It may appear to be to add fluid but it is just for the back pressure for me and also monitoring for overflow once new pads are in. Personally, I don't try to leave it off long, because brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time.
How different is the rear setup? Can I use this as a guide for the rear?
I should do a video soon for the rear… there are some slight differences. Look for other videos on TH-cam to give you a better perspective. Thank you for watching.
@@JohnsJeepGarage they compare pretty well. Straightforward job once I got in there. Thanks again.
Awesome! I still have to do that video. Thank you for prompting me!
How does the rotor come off
Remove the caliper to clear the rotor. Use a rubber mallet to pop (hit) the rotor so it comes free to take off.
Instead of using the vice grip, go to a bicycle shop and get a 15 mm come wrench.
Thank you for watching. I posted your comment so others can see the feedback and use a con wrench as an option for them. I do like my needle nose vice grip just because it can grasp without me having to hold it but your suggestion should be shared.
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
