How To Replace Parking / Emergency Brake!

[@maccook1692]

Came to rewarch this after fighting with one side for an hour 🤣 fml

[@snowyplaysvidya3806]

Thanks for this. Got a 2017 Charger that needs e brake work done so this good instruction helps out to save me money in the future (plus sharpern my diy repair work in the future)

[@charlesjennex7159]

You probably won't see this but..... thank you... you have no idea the struggle iv been having and I can't afford the shop right now and I need a new saftey in November so I had to get this done. The old ones let go of the pins and they bounced around in the drum I thought something big happend thank God it was only thay but my shoes were also stuck on the drum so they had to be replaced I spent hours trying to put new ones on and I googled 2009 dodge nitro and it kept bringing me to other dodges and such but after 45 minutes of videos I cam across yours!!! And because jeeps and nitro have alot of the same parts I checker your video and BAM!!! EXACTLY THE SAME!!! so thank you, you got a follow and a full time supporter!!!

[@mlke2900]

Yea just put the shoes in this way with 1 spring....yea right. Liked to see you do that again that quick.

[@rherna2601]

This is one of best videos on this subject. Thanks

[@joncallahan3464]

Thank you for fast forwarding through the entire hardest part of the job, getting this pads and spring back on and around the actuator. That’s something I really didn’t need to know, thanks. Now I’m pulling my axle.

[@jeffgullion8058]

Hey man, great video. Gonna save me a lot of time on my Liberty when I get around to it. I swore I was gonna have to pull the axle again to do it. Thanks!

[@mlke2900]

Don't worry you will ..

[@sarahguynup6946]

Great video. Will be doing this over the weekend. Just saved me a lot of time and money (since if had to remove other things, probably would've been bringing it to the shop).

[@nhwine]

Good job with this video! To the point and you didn't leave any steps out. Very easy to follow.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful!

[@jasonmucio6067]

Your video was super helpful, thanks! It's not the easiest job but doable if you keep at it. The only other tool I had which helped me a bit was a t-handled hook tool which I bought from Harbor Frieght years ago thinking that someday I would need it. It's angled at the end and makes it pretty easy to attach/remove springs without vice grips. Thanks again.

[@JDCarsChannel]

You're welcome! Glad the video helped! That harbor freight tool sounds like it worked nicely 👍

[@jetfixrguy]

Best video I’ve seen that explains and shows great detail. I wish I could see the flip up mechanism that attaches to the link coming through the backing plate and connects to the parking brake cable but great job man.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad the video was helpful-- you got this! The mechanisms are quite simple and I'm sure you'll figure them out.

[@strew516]

Well done. I'll be adding a needle nose vice to my box today.

[@greghackemann4660]

Well I watched a lot of videos and yours seemed to make the most sense, I still swore a lot but the brakes are in

[@stanleym3537]

Great job!

[@richarddiaz8248]

Thank you for your knowledge and expertise 🎉

[@shadyhawklive]

It’s very important to check the parking brake actuator and connecting rod while doing this job. If the two pivot points are seized up like mine were, the parking brake will not operate properly. Rust belt problems. Also, don’t use never/anti seize on any moving brake parts. It’s a polarizing topic but 2 of my caliper pins were completely seized to the mount and I loaded that stuff on when I installed them. Use brake & caliper grease.

[@RossMelby]

Mine was seized up. Once separated, I cleaned up the parts. I used anti-seize on the joint with the locking pin and lithium grease on the actuating pin, where it connects to the wire that runs up to the cab. I imagine this seized link is why I constantly had to tighten the parking brake, which caused to premature wear. Just adding on that this is an important tip.

[@joshseymour2636]

Thanks so much for this. Help a ton!

[@darknimesis]

you certainly did it a whole lot easier than i did, and with a lot less F bombs.

[@Littlelewie151]

Sounds like me!

[@MINDANDSTATE]

Great video. Thanks for this.

[@gregosborne7587]

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

[@aland2253]

Great job dude

[@mikelafleur441]

Great video. I assume you don't need to de/attach the cable to the shoes

[@LagmasterB]

Thx dude. Top tier.

[@ramonsalinasjr.8763]

Great video!

[@jakehuckeba1046]

Yo, my name jake too 😮. Lol ... ya got a like for that, you got a follow cause your good 👍🏻

[@johns9694]

Nice job! I see that you are a fellow Masshole also! Went do we live here? Lol anyways, I'm doing my brakes right now and watching the order of the reinstallation of parts is very helpful! Thank you for the preview of what lies ahead on my job!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you! We're out of the Beverly area. I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

U made that look less painful than it was my first time around years ago, 2nd time I replaced the loaded plates. Btw, some after market brake shoes may never work right if they have incorrect end details AMHIK

[@roncha729]

Thx for the great video!!!!

[@kengagne512]

You did it just like I do good job. 40 year mastertech

[@Davidagarcia911]

Thank you for this video!

[@JDCarsChannel]

You bet!

[@44hottrodd]

When you change your e-brakes unless you want to do all this again in a couple of months. You do need to put anti-seize on your brake pivot so it does not freeze up and cause a lot of problems in the future.

[@kellygreene3402]

Most Excellent! Thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

You bet!

[@robertfrancisco1193]

nice job !!!!

[@chicagowsox212]

What kind of lift u got?

[@lategamersteve4954]

Might not be the same on my Hyundai buuut imma replay this vid while working on my parking break!

[@gtaylor1564]

I Just by passed mine I've never used them in 12 years

[@christopherkurilla7458]

Same jor the jeep kk , it’s definately a pain in the ass but it’s doable

[@jim4448]

Did I Miss something ? Sing me you don't have to connect break cable for the emergency break ??

[@chicagowsox212]

Great fuckin vid. Gonna show my son so he can do mine

[@welmitch9446]

You sure you installed that adjustment screw the right way 🤨

[@davidhart1919]

The driver side goes up, and the passenger side goes down

[@tubee2b]

@@davidhart1919 Is it that way from the factory because it needs to be upside down on the left side, or, is it that way to standardize the part (one e-brake assembly instead of producing and keeping track of two) to fit either side of the vehicle ? If the adjuster fits back in the other way and it spreads the shoes, what difference does it make (other than the advantage pointed out in the video)? Also, its not due to access thru the adjustment hole because it is just as accessible either way.

[@Littlelewie151]

Ill admit i reused the old pins and clips. i HATE the kind you have to turn.

[@welmitch9446]

That adjustment screw should but up not down🤷🏾‍♂️

[@JDCarsChannel]

There's less debris/rust build up this way

[@djustice9948]

@@JDCarsChannel there's usually a hole in the back side of the backing plate that line up with that star adjuster thing to adjust it without taking the wheel off. If its upside down now the hole wont line up with the star adjuster. Maybe it wont be that big of a deal.

[@budlanctot3060]

@@djustice9948 I agree. It might be a problem in the future if you can't access that adjuster gear with a screwdriver to back off the adjuster wheel so you can remove the drum/rotor in the future.

[@VeeScaliaDesigns]

Cool video

[@tubee2b]

@@djustice9948 It lines up either way
