2011-2023 Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger Front & Rear Brakes Replacement How-To

[@loganatorexit]

The amount of trust and faith I have in you should be concerning considering you are just a random stranger on the internet. But I appreciate your videos they are BEYOND helpful.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

😂 I see where you’re coming from but I assure I won’t steer you wrong.

This is a very nice tutorial! I did my 300C brakes a couple of years ago and installed new rotors/calipers/pads. I have to replace the front wheel bearing hubs now and wanted to review how to take the brake system apart and reinstall. Your video will be extremely helpful in this. Thank You and kind regards!

[@loveobviously]

You’re the only video I’ve seen that shows where to Jack it under the car. Thanks for that. I’ve been looking all over the place

[@kevjr76]

Great detaoiled video man..will change my brakes and rotors on my 2011 300 soon

[@betol7373]

Thank you brother!!! Very helpful 👌!!!!

[@st.johnradio6714]

Great instructional video, even ordered the parts you recommended. The only problem was the parts you used were for an AWD vehicle, mine is RWD (12.5” rotors). Opps! Once I got the right rotor and brakes, it was a breeze except for those damn caliber bolts. Thanks a bunch!

[@greenetechxyz]

Thank-you so much for this video, I have watched it a couple times prepping to do my brakes and your explanation made it so that when I actually did them I didnt run into any trouble (aside from the resistance from those bolts on the caliper bracket 😅)

[@vonwill100]

Thank you man. Very detailed video

[@grant242]

I came here because of those two bolts. I thought I was doing something wrong. This isn’t my first time changing brakes but it’s my first time on a Mopar myGod.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

😂 multiple people have also commented on this issue. I think they went a little heavy on the loctite at the factory.

[@ToddASchuh]

Same thing happened to me getting the Caliper bolts out. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yeah they must have caked these bolts in loctite from the factory.

[@ToddASchuh]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Great video by the way. Changed out the rotors/pads on my 300 55k miles ago. Started developing Shudder recently. Took apart to notice the pad clearance cut completely full and glazed over. Knocked out the burnt up pad dust from the crack and the shudder at low speed went away. Still shudders at speeds above 60mph. Can't win. I noticed your pads had the clearance cuts still. I believe the harsh winters up here is the cause.

[@carriez6580]

This is so helpful ! Thank you for creating this video :)

[@bradenbaldwin9838]

Yeah those caliper bracket bolts from factory have yellow locktite on them. They’re fun getting off it’s normal.

[@christophereguia2597]

what are the bolts called i lost one 🙁

[@christyvereen6308]

Thanks man, for your video & time.!!💪👍👍..!

[@camronct]

hey man, I just want to say thank you for making this video. I had creaking noise that never went away despite me going to my mechanic. long story short after 3 visits with him. it got even louder. FOund your video and decided to do it myself and see whats making the noise. lets just say i won't be going to that mechanic again as he did the lazy route of just caking on grease without cleaning it or anything. First time touching my brakes and honestly hands down the best video and FULL information step by step on how to change the brakes. I appreciate you taking the time to make this. Btw, how is the powerstop z17 brake pads holding up? i just need to change my brake pads as i saw it was getting low and my OEM rotors are still good so far cuz i only have 44,000kms about 27,500miles (I live somewhere that uses the metric) lol!

[@robertdougherty3089]

This is a great video! We did all you said but the brake does not firm up even after pumping multiple times. The fluid level was good before and after and we can’t find any leaks?? What happened?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Does the pedal sink to the floor?

[@13572danube]

Nice vid. I did need a 4 ft breaker bar to loosen the bracket bolts. Other than that, pretty simple.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Chrysler must have caked that loctite on at the factory seems like everyone including myself struggled getting those brackets bolts off.

[@Faux_Activity]

Thanks man, Good Video _👍_

[@dirhathasan1389]

do all the chrysler (2013) come with double Piston callipers?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

For a 2013 some of them came with single piston calipers as well so you will want to double check what your vehicle came with.

[@jamesanderson4014]

Great video. Did you get a chance to bleed the brake system?? Would you ever change to a double caliper system in the rear brakes?? Thanks again.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

I did bleed the whole system off camera just to get new fluid in there because I don’t know how old it was. I think the single piston works just fine for this car I don’t think a dual piston caliper would be worth it especially because this car is not very heavy.

[@alboroto11]

I'm getting ready to change my breaks and rotors on my 2018 Chrysler 300s rwd, and I can't find the spect for torquing the bolts for the bracket and the caliper itself, can you tell me how much torque to use please? Thanks in advance! Huge fan of your channel by the way, it has helped greatly with my Chrysler. Keep up the great work.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Front caliper bracket bolts 98 ft-lbs Rear caliper bracket bolts 81 ft-lbs Front caliper bolts 44 ft-lbs Rear caliper bolts 23 ft-lbs

[@alboroto11]

Thank you sir, I appreciate your help. @@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

[@moisesrodriguez9229]

Trying to get the front rotors for my 2019 Chrysler 300s but my local auto part store only carry single piston rotors and I believe I have dual caliper pistons. Would it affect anything if I were to get single piston rotors?

[@tessa5234]

Thank you SO MUCH for your in depth how-to!! I have my parts ordered to change out my pad and rotors (front and rear) on my 2014 3.6L and I have one question please: Are the tightening foot pounds for the calipers and caliper brackets actually that much different for front and rear? Just want to make sure I understood this correctly and don't mess something up!!

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yes foot pounds.

[@tessa5234]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE LOL - I understood foot pounds :) What I wanted to know was if the recommended tightness actually varies that much from front to rear. Thanks again!! (hopefully my question was more clear this time :)

[@thekwoods7234]

Do you have to use new copper crush washers after remov8ng banjo bolt? If not could it cause air into system?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

It’s always good practice to but honestly I’ve reused them before with no issues.

[@kingme300r6]

So I changed both rotors and brakes now I had a traction control light that won’t go off what should I do

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Sounds like you have an issue with one of the wheel speed sensors. Did you undue any of the connectors? Or one of the sensors lines get pinched or frayed?

[@proudpoppa46]

I have a 2018 300S with 76000 miles, should I change the brake fluid?

[@pavelsanchez9606]

The 2021 charge 392 Hemi are the same ? .Thank you for you video

[@TheAndreaP20]

Got a 2013 300. When I click the link it says “product does not fit”. How accurate is Amazon with this?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Does your 2013 have all wheel drive?

[@jarvellscott957]

Mine is AWD its a 2018, 300. Is the steps the same.​@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

[@BMan100]

classic case of rust jacking... I'll most likely have to deal with something like that when I pickup my 2022 300 AWD...

[@dalandriaj]

Do you have to bleed the brakes ???

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No you don’t have to. As long as your level is good and the brake fluid isn’t totally black you’ll be fine.

[@Jayyy1990]

Do you need a torque wrench to get job done ??

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No not at all. Most of the time torque wrench’s are needed more for internal engine parts but for brakes it is not needed I just like to show using one because a lot of people think it’s needed.

[@Jayyy1990]

Right on boss what size mm sockets needed just 13&18’

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

@@Jayyy1990 yeah that should be all and a 22mm for the lugnuts

[@SuperBigtrain1]

I just did my sons 2013 I used every tool I had couldn’t get the bolts for thing that holds on the rotor so I had to put the shoes on till I can get a better tool, my air Impact wouldn’t do it my electric impact wouldn’t get it I got it about an inch and then nothing

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Are you talking about the caliper bracket? Mine were the same way very hard to get off thought I was going to brake the bolts.

[@ProfitPower13]

I had to use an impact driver with a sledgehammer. Worked wonders.

[@captainworstpirateiveheard9842]

I also stopped mine cus those 21mm would not budge. There's a shop with a lift nearby, and I'll pay the labor for them to finish it. It's my first brake job I gave up on in 25 years...😅

[@EME4MexicaWarrior]

Omg idk where to start with my car . It’s leaking coolant from the water pump now my passenger side brakes are squeaking and grinding. I forsure need a new rotor . Those brake pads fuckd him up omg but I don’t have time . I’m doing the work myself tomorrow

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Are you sure it’s the water pump these cars are common for the plastic thermostat housing to develop a leak and coolant housing gasket. Sometimes these two items get mistaken for a water pump leak.

[@Its2obvioustruth]

Took me forever to get those two off myself

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yeah definitely not easy they must have caked those bolts in locktite from the factory.

[@Blessed300.]

You didn’t have to bleed the rear breaks ?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No, as long as you don’t disconnect any brake lines.

[@knifemaster1]

I have a 2016 chrysler 300s, can I order all this for my car as well? Definitely going to be subscribing to you as well

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Just depends is your a 3.6l or the 5.7l and is it Awd or just Rwd?

[@knifemaster1]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE it's the 3.6L and Rwd

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

@@knifemaster1 then you would want something like this amzn.to/3B9VIhm because mine is the Awd so I have dual piston front calipers and since yours is Rwd you will only have the single piston on the front calipers so it’s different part numbers for the pads and rotors.

[@knifemaster1]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE awesome. Thank you!

[@vincentevans2080]

Do you have to replace the rear caliper pin guide/circle thing inserts?
