New Brake Pads from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS02119
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 video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2006-18 Jeep Wrangler

[@rayss3323]

[@jbkivontop]

on the "e" brakes adjustment wheel, what way is expanding or contacting the brakes?

[@SuperMRtimmay]

thank you very much

[@stephaniekicks6636]

Please can someone help me? I’ve checked and there are two different opinions on the torque spec for the rear caliper bolts. I’ve heard 55 lbs/ft but I’ve also heard about 77 Lb/ft as seen in this video. Which one is it? 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport

[@4-MinuteMiles]

well done.

[@amstamey]

This was f*cking quality work

[@calsurflance5598]

Check the owners manual!
Mine says 100 ft lbs on wheel lugs. I have a 2018 JKU.

[@adampoquette5356]

Does the parking brake shoe spin in the same direction on both sides of the vehicle?

[@initra25]

Dont you have to pump the brakes afterwards so the calipers can set?

[@kyledury1455]

Very well done!

[@brendaremillard4921]

Great video.
I have a question. Is there any reason to pull out the rear axles to do a rear brake replace???
I never have done it,,, but I brought my Jeep to a mechanic,,and I saw him pulling the axles!!!
My quote also went from $500 ,to $900 plus,,,for rear brakes!!! WTF!!
Am I being taken, or is this a normal brake job procedure???
Thanks for any help with this issue!!

[@safitz7863]

What do you mean pulling out the rear axel? Like removing it entirely? Or are you referring to the cover on the center of it. Thats your rear differential. You'd remove that cover to clean in there before refilling with diff fluid.
But I cannot see why you would have to remove the axel to change brakes. Especially if it's just pads and rotors.
As a JKU owner I've learned that learning to do the maintenance yourself is the only way. Between the "technicians", and "service advisors" who know nothing beyond what their guide book tells them at the dealerships, and people who just want to rip you off by selling you a laundry list of repairs that they know they can upsell simply because it is a Jeep.
It's a jungle.

[@edwingonzalez6060]

Hi, to do caliper, rotor and/or brake pads there is no need for removal of the axles, if the mechanic were changing the brake shoes and/or hardware which are the the parking brake configuration of this model it would have been necessary although not entirely because it can be made with the axles inside, with the fact that it would be harder to do.

[@Diabloweld666]

122 ft/lbs on the wheel nuts? I understood spec to be 95-115 ft/lbs. I tighten our aftermarket alloys to 95 ft/lbs and I've never had a problem. Great tutorial otherwise. The JK brakes are some of the easiest I've ever done.

[@danieljurgill1681]

Except for starting out incorrectly, and ending incorrectly, it was great in between. Just pushing the brake pads in could be a problem up in the master cylinder reservoir ! You could have brake fluid forced out the cap ! At the end , you need to address how yo be sure the brske lines are bled, otherwise you will back the car out of the garage and have no brakes !
