2017 Jeep Renegade front pads and rotors

[@shawnwright2356]

Outstanding presentation!!! I used your video today. My Jeep needed brakes at 19500 miles. Cost of northeast winter driving. My rotor set screws would not come out. I had to drill them out. Thank you for posting this.

[@ChevyMalibu69]

You're welcome! Glad I could help

I guess Im pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?

Put anti seize on the rotor set screw next time. Just a small amount.

[@jackshifley9378]

I really appreciate the video man. Your the only person on KZbin that said what size e torx bolt is on the bracket. Everyone else I saw was just hammering on a 12 point socket

[@d.s.steele3100]

See my video on the "Power Stops". No I don't Get paid by either Rock Auto or Power Stop.

Yet doesn’t mention torque spec numbers

I dread removing the lug bolts. The caps are notorious for messing up. Where I get my tires rotated, they came out one day and said "we can't rotate because whoever did it last time messed some of the caps up" and I said "you guys did it last time", then they went back out and miraculously was able to do the job lol. I've noticed some of my caps wiggle now....

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Lol, wow! Don't you love it when it's their fault and you can prove it? It definitely was something that I dreaded too for sure, I've since traded that thing in for a 2019 Ford explorer and I couldn't be happier. I love the extra room and comfort.

2016 Trailhawk, 45K and just done mine. Mine weren't scored just quite badly lipped - seemed like the discs wore down quicker than I would expect. I had quite a bit of corrosion on the hub surface so wire brushed it all flat, otherwise I would have been concerned about excessive run out. Like a lot of others I was surprised by the E20 (wish I'd seen your video before but YT just didn't pull it up in a search) , but the 12 point 16mm socket I had coped easily with no damage. Great video man.

Getting ready to change front Pads and Rotors on my wife’s Renegade, 105,000 miles. Changed the pads around 70,000.

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Sounds like you are one of the lucky ones 70000 miles out of one set of pads basically unheard of how did the Jeeps

[@d.s.steele3100]

Did the front brakes on my wife's Renegade at 34k miles, had the same problem. See my video on the Power Stops I installed (D. S. Steele). Let me know if you agree and/or like it. One thing, my rotors came right off (non salted roads). For those that live with salted roads, there are brakes made for snow/salt conditions. Take a look at Permatex orange thread locker, strong as red as easy to remove as blue.

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

great video man! i just did my aunts front brakes on her jeep renegade today, and when i got to the job i said crap.... its and external torx and guess what, i dont own any lol. so i just used a 16mm 12 point socket and luckily it worked without any damage. so if anyone is ever in a pinch a 16mm 12 point socket will work but be careful to not damage the External torx bolt on the caliper bracket! so be sure to pick yourself up a E20 external torx bit :) And also make note of where your wear indicator goes on new pads. take a picture of where it was before you tear it apart so you know what pad goes where and on what side

[@d.s.steele3100]

It's probably a good idea to pick up a set of torx sockets as a lot of car manufactures are going to them.

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

@@d.s.steele3100 yes absolutley. on my aunts 2019 jeep its e torx in the front and regular torx on the rear with a regular hex so u could use the torx or a 6 point socket

[@markbeals]

20k miles on my 2018 renegade and yep just started squeeling last night and even worse today. Checked the driver side rotor and it has a decent size groove in the middle. Was a tech in the 90s and early 2k and mopar used crap rotors back then and I guess the still do. Most others manufacturers go 70k+ before needing them.

[@mainsfortes5778]

Great comprehensive tutorial. Instantly subsribed !

[@artaguilar7338]

The dealer tells me that the rotors are different sizes for this model on a 2019, is that true? Front breaks. Thanks

[@tattooedredheadx]

May I ask why you didn't torque down the E20's and the 14mm bolts? There are specific torque settings set by the manufacturer.

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Yeah I'm sure there are but to be perfectly honest I've never torqued brakes ever and I've done hundreds with no issues ever for over 22 years , I've never had any loose bolts when I come back to do the job again down the line. I'm in no way saying that you shouldn't though, find the spec if you want and torque the bolts

[@Actias1974]

For folks new to this. Find the proper torque for the bolts. Don’t just wing it with your brakes.

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

hey craig have u ever done the rear brakes i heard for the rear brakes on the renegades that you need a Regular T55 TORX?? any truth to that? Thanks craig!

[@dennisgoins580]

I still haven’t had to do brakes on my 2016 Renegade at 90,000 miles. Took it in to do it a year ago and they guy said you don’t need them they still have plenty, look almost new. He said he could do it but would just be taking my money.

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Well, that's good for you at least not all their brakes suck. I had the similar situation on my ford went 90k no issues...I'm happy to say though that I've since gotten rid of that glorified fiat and purchased a 2019 ford explorer, I'm so much happier with the ford

[@thirtysixford]

Nice video, however an E20 Torx socket is an external Torx.. An internal torx would be a T20..

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Ok well you can call it whatever you want lol, just as long as it's an E20 you're good to go! It's the right tool for the job

[@kielmcmillin3754]

I’m at 17,000 miles and they told me the same thing

[@mainsfortes5778]

Rust is the enemy of all cars. Take steps to prevent or remove it.

[@tatsumaru12345]

These cheap mopar crap brakes don't last. My mothers trail hawk got 15k, inner brake pads worn to the metal. And she's a easy driver. Factory pads should be 60k+. Definitely not going factory. But like I told her, that's what you get buying crap Chrysler/fiat vehicles, that can't last after bailouts and multiple mergers. great video though! The e20 socket was super helpful

[@tatsumaru12345]

And seeing that rotor just cluckin fly made me roll hard

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Yeah, they're absolute garbage. I'm very glad I have since gotten rid of that thing, thanks for the comment!

[@tattooedredheadx]

36,000 miles and mine are grooved to shit as well!!! WTF MOPAR?!

[@ChevyMalibu69]

Yeah the dealer tells me I was doing good that they usually don't go as long, it's crap they without a doubt should go further much further

[@tattooedredheadx]

@@ChevyMalibu69 I agree. There is no reason for the grooved discs at 30,000 miles. I was quoted $1500 for front and rear rotors and pads and labor. Fuck that, I'll do it myself!

[@chris200873]

i am at 48 thousand on my renegade and i hurd something rubbing a little and i couldnt belive it. also have you had any trouble with your air condition?

[@Actias1974]
