BLOCKED BY THE GATE KEEPER

[@zxborg9681]

Like they say, any 20 minute job is just one siezed or broken bolt away from being a two-day clusterf*ck. I'd say that's par for the course on a Jeep anywhere there's snow and salt, though, you got off pretty easy all things considered.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Isn’t that the truth

[@ozzstars_cars]

That's the truth!

[@ozzstars_cars]

You got through the gate and avoided a capacitor injury. That's a win.

[@1990lumina]

I'm pumped for Yukon videos Jerry! You are probably close to leaving by now

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Oh boy that’s another story in itself

[@TheTuscanyGuy]

@@BackCountryWrenching oh no that doesn’t sound good

[@rhydtuned]

Every time you say 'Powerfist' it makes me think of some battery-powered bedroom utensil company 😂

[@BackCountryWrenching]

😂🤣😂🤣😂 yes I can see that

[@jdtractorman7445]

All you get out of brake rotors in the area I live in is about 4 to 5 years. The salt and calcium thrown all over the roads just eats anything on a vehicle. Some manufacturers like to use Loctite on those pad bracket bolts, makes removal fun.

[@TheTuscanyGuy]

Hey Jerry just out camping so a bit late seeing you video. You must be close to going on your trip if you haven’t already left. You and Aubrey have a great trip. Looking forward to the videos. I have watched your other Yukon many times and that is definitely a bucket list trip for me too.

[@Rubellionoffroad]

Thank god for princess auto. I used the same brakes on my jeep. Pretty good

[@BackCountryWrenching]

They are pretty good so far been doing some hard braking

[@saltsea9499]

The power-fister 5000 😱🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PrincipalAudio]

Yep. E-Torx are the Gatekeepers for sure. Was swapping out my transmission with one I rebuilt the other day, and I needed to remove the clutch and flywheel first to make room. E-Torx E8 on the clutch... Had to order spares as one was totally rounded by whoever had been in there before. Gatekeepers!

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Stupid fastener for sure

[@fedorp4713]

I had a really stuck slide pin in the TJ. Nothing would move it, I ended up hammering it so much that it bent, it was stuck forever. Ended up replacing the caliper for $58.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Sometimes it’s best

[@williamwilcox-rd7cx]

Yeah lol I’ve run into a lot of gate keepers that turn a lot of “simple jobs” into a hassle , heat and or Penetrating oil can solve . I just recently got an induction heater that works great at driving heat directly into stuck corroded seized bolts , nuts , without throwing heat in places you don’t want , like fuel lines, tank , sensitive electronics, the induction heater is a game changer in this regard. Cheers Wild Bill currently buried way deep in the bush of far northern Ontario , fishing and relaxing , join me on my trip to northern BC !!

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I need to get a induction heater for sure, it’s on the list

[@williamwilcox-rd7cx]

She’s a beauty on stuck seized rusted Fastners , for sure !! Wild Bill . Now in BC camping in amongst the mountains of Northern BC !! Beeeauty!!!!

[@scha0786]

Rodger that. Is I also like to bleed the brakes when I do any pads or rotors. Just keep the fluid fresh

[@mariodesmo]

Those are good looking rotors. I've been told they provide good grip with a good set of pads. Should do well up in the Yukon. I hate those pesky strange bolts that Jeep likes to use here and there, to fuck up your day when working on your rig...

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I know right what’s up with that

[@kevinmurphy3464]

Dude, those damn Chrysler engineers seem to enjoy making things difficult for people working on their vehicles. E-torx or a torx bit in every location that will screw you over. Took me forever to get the one rusted E-torx off the bell housing of my 98’ TJ so I could do a simple clutch job. Every other fastener was a hex head except for the one that was in the worst location to get to. Rant over. Enjoy your trip and load up on the Chilkoot Jerry!

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Yes can’t wait it’s going to be amazing

[@philipgagne1852]

Drilled and slotted rotors are not really a good option for canadian winters and dirt roads. Slotted are okay but drilled not as much. They just get scored up and filled with dirt and dust.unfortunetly.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I’ve had them on my TJ for years and they have treated me well

[@philipgagne1852]

@BackCountryWrenching good ! I didn't get the luckiest with my powers tops on my car. I do 40k a year minimum and the hwy salt and grime chewed em up after about 60k..

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice upgrade on the brakes Jerry.I hate those stupid E torx bolts also..

[@daves3016]

You're crazy using that air jack and no jack stand, be safe there are no do overs sometimes.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Very wasn’t under the vehicle and the jack is using blocks so it would collapse about 15”

[@scha0786]

What is the difference between the chlorinated and non chlorinated brake cleaner? Always wondered, I generally grab the red can

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Chlorinated will end you if you decided to clean a part and weld it

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Hey, may I ask do you check your callipers on a regular basis to see if they are clean for seizure preventative purposes? I had a problematic BMW E46 (which took me to your channel) several years ago and one at the front seized, some time later another seized and then sometime later another seized. I had never heard of this issue before in any other car I drove. Is this something to check on all cars?

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Usually every year or couple years for sure

[@sewerratt47]

Power Stop sent me a break pad that was too thick , would not install . Questionable Quality control

[@Graveltrucking]

I can see why you need the rotor retainer to come out didn't realize those Heeps...... I mean Jeeps use wheel bolts. Looks like it didn't turn into a total sh*t show, I think I would have done the rear brakes too so you have balanced braking power. You'll have the Jeep loaded to the tit having good brakes is a must.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I’m glad they came out I was expecting them to be seized

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

Wish I knew how to wrench on my Wrangler like that...save some cash!

[@moabwheeling1305]

Great job Jerry ! You got to love rust lol. Stupid manufactures and engineer johnny for developing and using e torx . Why do they use two of them on the Jeep transmissions where the transmission bolts to the block when all the rest of the bolts are normal. I don'[t get it .Am I missing something? Anyway , I hope you have a great trip to the Yukon my friend. Take care .

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I don’t know either or even why they use them period
