How To Install New Brakes Pads and Rotors On A Jeep Renegade

[@travisd8069]

New subscriber here. Duuuuude!! Thank you for this video. It's amazing how easy this is. Well, relatively easy. I'd rather do this myself, rather than paying an exorbitant amount to have someone else do it. So, again, thankyou.

[@mitchu9677]

One thing: On the radio, in settings -> Brakes -> Brake Service Mode will retract the brakes all the way, so you may not need the c-clamp. Great feature. Also, when you said while taking the torx bolts off to take your time that was really something I needed to hear, Thanks haha.

[@Actias1974]

This is only needed for the rear brakes.

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

I never knew how easy most car repairs like this actually are. Thanks for saving me a shitton of money paying someone else to fix it for me.

[@JoseAntonio-pb7nd]

the amount of money mechanics charge to do brake work is criminal

[@SueBobChicVid]

About to take this on, front and rear. I've done this before on other vehicle and they are all pretty similar. Nice to see it done once before getting into it in my driveway. Good video.

[@The300mcm]

If you have electric parking brake go into setting on radio display put it into brake service mode so the motor will retract on brakes if not you could damage the motors thanks great video

[@tonyg.6827]

Do you have to take the reservoir cap out fist?

[@tonyg.6827]

And is this when we do back brakes? I don’t think you do this for the front.

[@Actias1974]

Rear brakes require ebrake retraction. Front doesnt

[@garysmith3492]

That set screw or rotor retaining screw came off nice for you, but they are usually the hardest part of the whole job. I know mine are seized and have to be drilled out...I don't know if they really need to be replaced as they are only for assembly purpose. In regards to the latter, the lug bolts can be used to line up your rotor then taken out and the tire put on...Once on, your rotor is held in place by the lug bolts...There are a slew of videos here, (You Tube), showing the problems encountered with these seized screws and the various methods to get them out....And by the way, that allen key size for that screw is 5mm and would be best used with a socket drive after perhaps knocking it head-on to loosen up the rust and cracking the corrosive seal....Enjoyed your vid, clear and concise.. Thank you for taking the time.

[@WickedFabz]

Thank you for watching. Anti seize can also be used to re insert the screw.

[@dedication261]

Awesome man! learned a lot from this video going to watch a few more videos and then order the parts I need for the job! I've got a 2017 Jeep renegade latitude that needs new front rotors. mine currently look like they are in the same condition as the one's you took off in this video. Thanks for the lesson dude! Its very much appreciated.

[@WickedFabz]

Your welcome. The rotors that come on it stick seem to wear out quickly. Glad you like the video!

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I noticed that you did not clean the brake pad holder before inserting the new pads. I recommend doing that to assure the brake pads are free to move.

[@furllyman]

An excellent video cut the job time down and got it done relatively quick thanks

[@tinagranitsas]

Thank you so much for sharing your videos!!!!!! That looks so easy!!! Going to do my own with my buddy as he has the tools ❤

[@glenng805]

Excellent step by step. Thank you.

[@Jayb2dope]

Thee most thorough video ever. Thank you kindly! Now you make me not pay these people to do my brakes lol

[@WickedFabz]

Thank you!

[@CamaroTime]

LOL....Great minds think a like. I just did the brake fluid flush video and you doing brake pads. Great video brother

[@abelvasquez2884]

Thank you this helped a great deal

[@WickedFabz]

Your welcome! Glad I can help!

[@ravengillett1690]

My current job. I havent changed brakes in a little over 5 years..so needed a Refresher. My husband said I needed a special tool (mechanics🙄) wanted to see what that was...but everything I should find in my dads garage. Let's hope for smooth sailing later!

[@WickedFabz]

Good luck. I used all basic tools. However the Renegades are torx sockets. You should have no problem. Thanks for watching.

[@Actias1974]

This dude own stock in brake cleaner companies. 😂😊

[@WickedFabz]

Lol! Not much tho. Just one case. Lol

[@2TEN90]

New supporter here and your channel is great! Can really see how it will take off as all of these vids are great how to vids. Cheers!

[@fatherfrequency8800]

Awesome man. Good stuff brother.

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Good DIY video and tips to follow

[@DSWJoyrideProductions]

Nice install! Sorry haven't been around as much, everything hit the fan soon as I got home... so as soon as hings settle down again... "I WILL BE BACK!" hahahahaha

USA ROTORS UK BRAKE DISCS thanks for posting

[@LostMexiWithDreams]

So awesome seeing how easy this is, it’s mind blowing. Just got drilled and slotted with ceramic pads, was worried about bleeding and such as it’s my daily driver. But after seeing this, I’ve definitely got the confidence to tackle it myself. Great vid, thank you!

[@mariesonan2288]

Thanks Joe

[@WickedFabz]

Your welcome! Lol.. I the process of editing the rear brake and rotor vid now. That will be the next one I post.

[@_beaurobinson]

Thanks for doing this. I'm bout to go change mine right meow!

[@Bad_Man810]

Do I have to do anything different if I have the modle with the electronic parking brake ?

[@WickedFabz]

No not at all. This one has the one also

[@LionPerfeKt]

Did mime thanks! Gotta do Motor mounts now.. got a p0441 now too..

[@tunisiaincanada485]

Awesome video my dear friend new here thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@craighammond8964]

I use an old cookie sheet to stash bolts and small tools while working.

[@WickedFabz]

Good idea!

[@ismaelgaytan7208]

Big thumbs up

[@DecorTime]

that was helpful thanx for sharing ,i m a new friend here liked and tweeted it out and i supported u .keep it up

[@jesusrevillafernandez2468]

Ver good video thanks

[@Actias1974]

Don’t forget to lubricate the brake pad shims.

[@felipelara6234]

Is the socket you used to remove the bolt that holds the bracket a common one? The top looks like a star shape. Thanks

[@WickedFabz]

They are star shape. You can use a 12pt common socket, but be gentle with it. That’s what I did to hold me over until I’m able to get new sockets.

[@SteveV6206]

The proper tool is an inverted torx.

[@gabrielholley2758]

Awesome video thank you for sharing this knowledge. One question though do you have to bleed the brakes? Like on older cars? I'm just now really getting into the new vehicle game. Was just wondering

[@WickedFabz]

No you don’t. Just compress the calipers in and it pushes the fluid back up.

[@gabrielholley2758]

@@WickedFabz okay gotcha! thank you a million!!!

[@kevindowns7861]

Very helpful thanks!

[@mr.marcosotero1509]

Why not lightly anti seize the back of the rotor mounting surface and that rotor hold down Allen screw? Also should of sprayed cleaned both sides of the rotor while it’s off, clean the caliper bracket with a wire brush before installing the new hardware, lubricate the caliper glide bushing pins and brake pad slide ears. Also using anti squeal Incase of pad noise. Lots of components need lube or early caliper or pad failure can be expected. Especially with high mile cars. Just sharing what I do. God bless!

[@WickedFabz]

Thanks for watching and the info

[@artaguilar7338]

I have a 2019 Renegade and the dealer said the rotors are different sizes but the guy at Auto Zone said their system doesn’t not show that. Are they different sizes? Thanks.

[@WickedFabz]

That I’m not sure of but the replacement should be similar.

[@Thebatjoeny]

Got anything for rear brakes being that they have an electric emergency brake ?

[@WickedFabz]

Check out my rear brake video. That should help you out.

[@artaguilar7338]

Is there an issue when replacing the front or rear brakes that affects the parking/emergency brake if it's electronic? Thanks.

[@WickedFabz]

It didn’t effect mine at all. All your doing is pushing the brake fluid back up the lines.

[@adampollock2385]

Do you have to do the brake fluid flush? A long time ago my dad would bleed the brake lines but I thought you didnt have to with new vehicles?

[@WickedFabz]

No you do not have to flush them. Your just pushing the fluid back up in the lines.

[@hughes2099]

Thanks man

[@WickedFabz]

Your welcome!

[@Miszally23]

This video was awesome you're so helpful thank you so much I do have a question I followed every instruction you gave us and the brake seem to be working really well but they're making a weird noise or something is making a weird noise when I'm driving it almost sounds like a flat tire or something but it's only at a certain speed I don't really hear it I like 20 miles an hour I hear it at 5 miles an hour could I have put something on wrong or loose or have you ever experienced this?

[@WickedFabz]

I was getting brake noise after driving it for awhile. I took the tires off and cleaned everything again. The noise hasn’t come back. As far as yours being a flat tire noise idk brake usually make a squeal or rubbing noise. Check tire pressure and clean the breaks again. It’s a good starting point. Let me know how you make out with it.

[@WickedFabz]

Also recheck your bolts to make sure the are tight enough.

[@samiamthesuperhero]

Like#9 Hello from James Cox live. New supporter here :)

[@jessyvillagomez2267]

Would it be any different if I used power stop brake and rotors?

[@WickedFabz]

No. As long as you use the proper application

[@The_Real_Tunder]

anyone know the name of the point 16mm bolts on the caliper, I stripped mine

[@WickedFabz]

Reverse torx socket or female torx.

[@rhphotocdn]

Which model of raybrstos rotors and pads did you use? I see they have something like three different grades.

[@WickedFabz]

The better grade with the warranty.

[@jessyvillagomez2514]

With renegades, will it work the same on the rear since it has an electronic brake?

[@WickedFabz]

No the brake calipers have to turn inward.

[@j.j.guerrieri8121]

What size allen key is that?

[@WickedFabz]

Not sure at this time.

[@Actias1974]

5mm

[@bryanviveros]

Dang the old pads still have a lot of meat to still go through... a great way to save money just resurface the rotors clean up the pads from glazing. But not my car

[@WickedFabz]

They were stock rotors and from some reach people were having problems with them. Even after resurfacing. So I just have it a whole new set. Worth it in the long run. Thanks for watching!

[@UltraCon79]

Copper anti seize lightly applied around the lug pattern won't get in your brakes and it will help next time.

[@WickedFabz]

Thank you for that tip!

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Are the rear brake replacement pretty much similar?

[@WickedFabz]

Yes but the calipers turn in

[@celsorodriguez8353]

How do change wheel bearing on the same vehicle renegade

[@WickedFabz]

I haven’t had to do that yet.

[@celsorodriguez8353]

Ok thanks

[@FarmallFanatic]

What year is that Renegade?

[@WickedFabz]

2016 Trailhawk

[@RevengeOfTheApocalypse]

Thanks! Guess what I’m doing today 😄

[@WickedFabz]

Lol..... Brakes!?!

[@RevengeOfTheApocalypse]

@@WickedFabz yep 😆

[@texasbeachbum]

I need to get me a Jeep. I've been eyeballing them here lately

[@Actias1974]

Don’t unless you like a lot of expensive repairs.

[@mainsfortes5778]

Why not take some steps to prevent rust under the car? WD40, Fluid Film and some paint are cheap and works great to preserve the metal and protect it from rusting.

[@gerrya4818]

omg,i watched this because i need to do the brakes on my wifes fiat 500x(the same brakes). i watched for only 1 piece of info, the caliper bolts, to see if i needed any special sockets, which wasn't even clear(16mm external torx????????) and 14mm hex??? . #1 spray and WIPE the disc ON BOTH SIDES before you put it on,you missed half behind the guard and also spraying directing on the pads is stupid. #2 before you put the disc on ,bolt the caliper back onto the hub fingertight makes it a hell of alot easier then balancing it on top of the disc. #3 no copper grease on back/ears of the pads? and not re-greasing the guide pins?? #4 the 16mm caliper bolts are stretch bolts!! you should not reuse them! #5 "just hand tighten the bolts" WTD dude,there are proper torques for those VERY IMPORTANT bolts,especially the guide pin bolts, this is just sloppy work and possibly dangerous

[@WickedFabz]

Maybe watch the vid again. Hand tightened until I get the rest in place. Did you miss the part where I tighten them. The vid was used as a guide to let others know what they are getting into.Thanks for the comment!

[@dmwil1]

I doubt the brake cleaner on the pads is a big deal and I doubt even more it is a big deal to clean them off. They'll clean off on the first few stops anyway.

[@SteveV6206]

I can tell that you don't do this for a living.

[@WickedFabz]

Nope!
