You made reinstalling the clip look so easy. The new clip that comes with a new set of break pads isa lot more difficult than you might think. Otherwise, your video made me almost feel like I’ve been doing this for years. Thank you so much and keep it up! JT

[@samuelsanderson9692]

I have always done my front brakes on the wj. I have always thought the rear was too difficult or I needed a special tool. Probably because it looks different because of the clip. So I have always paid a shop to do it. Your video have me the confidence to do the job!

[@user-sp7ef2tb3t]

Great video. Thanks for being so detailed and clear. I hadn’t ever replaced the rear brakes and rotors by myself before. It felt great when I finished. Thanks again for helping me so much with the video👍🏻

[@pkturpin]

Im not sure which spring you had but it took 15 min to change pads and 1 1/2 hrs to get that @@!@#$%%$ spring back on!

[@ScorpioKing95]

Your not alone!! Most frustrating brake job I have ever done because of that damn clip!! And it still makes noise!

[@zorrbock]

No kidding... I'm 2 hrs into the spring and finally came in to watch youtube. Obviously, it's simple. Look at this guy just tap it into place.

[@briansviolins9376]

Great video I will be doing my brakes today. Wouldn’t it be better to start the car before pumping the brake pedal to build pressure, or else wouldn’t you just be building up vacuum pressure?

[@justinlalugski2083]

[@Robert-sy2cy]

Would have been a good time to rebuild or replace the caliper. The piston in this type caliper can later stick in the caliper bore after simply pushing the dirty piston back into the bore. The piston will move out when applying the brake but not retract causing the job to be redone on a later date and possibly having to replace a warped rotor.

[@1AAuto]

+Bob Kodadek Thanks for checking us out and the feedback, we appreciate it! 1AAuto.com

[@davidpowell3347]

Is there a rubber part that can be removed and replaced with a new one where the slide bolt goes in? And is this one where only Sil Glyde or similar lube can be used to grease the slide bolt,otherwise with regular green brake grease the rubber will swell and the sliders stick and cause hot brakes?

[@Macnificent78_]

What kind of black grease is that??? Great video ill be doing the brakes on my 03 soon

[@wtfnetown5049]

Must be nice to be able to pay a top notch mechanic to install new brakes when the old ones are still like new. Lol. Great video.

[@steelerdynasty2007]

exactly what i needed! any ideas how to remove the crud from the center caps (12:53)? i have that issue and it's a bit worse.

[@1AAuto]

+steelerdynasty2007 It looks as though it may be the clear coat on the wheels that is starting to let go. There isn't an easy way to fix it without either painting or refinishing the wheel. 1aauto.com

[@angelamonroe7737]

Are you using ceramic or semi-metallic pads?

[@gustavocantillo3241]

Thanks

[@davez9050]

What kind of grease do you use ?

[@patmac]

Anti seize on the studs?

[@Xplorer60]

Have new wire clips that were supplied. I live in rust country and the old wire clip was rusted fast. I had to cut it off. New wire clip refuses to be installed.

no, I try that I live by the ocean, Washington State both Pad and plus front pin (RUST) Front pad just fill out, that rubber fitting. I had to rip it out. My jeep is a 2001 V8 Grand Cherokee Unlimited With a greases fitting (milage 162233) bottom line my new left rear brake from 1A will be here tomorrow 4-4-22. Like your video. Just remember Murphy law Bob

[@scottmarchand2646]

Hey just came here to find the bleed valve on the rear breaks and I have to ask why didn't you bleed the breaks for the rear ? I imagine you would of bleed them in the front or are the break lines for the passenger and driver side each their own ?

[@LH81633]

Didn’t bleed them because he didn’t open the brake line! No need to bleed unless you open an actual line!

[@DevinDeCremer]

Would have been nice if you instructed the removal and reassembly of the drum brakes.

E Brake please.

[@hedleylint7622]

What size torque wrench for the caliper screws?

[@1AAuto]

+Hedley Lint The caliper bolts use a T45 bit. The torque wrench is up to you as long as it fits the bit you have. 1aauto.com

[@danielmefford2635]

Anyone know what size Allen socket to remove caliper?

[@bradstucky4621]

Popping off the 2 rubber caps reveals 2 pins which the caliper rides on. I believe the video mentions a T45 Torx bit, and that is what I used to remove mine, however, after struggling a bit to remove the Torx bit from the pin, I decided to check the size again and found out that mine are a 7mm Allen (hex) wrench size.

[@angelawarren7455]

It this the same tool for a 2000

[@angelawarren7455]

Someone. Please tell me what tool i need to. Get my brake pads change

[@kcp7042]

@@1AAuto I’ll do that thanks. just watched your video on front brakes. Why are the back metric and the front sae?

[@ashleybellerose7104]

Is it necessary to use brake cleaner? I'm genuinely curious

[@1AAuto]

+Ashley Bellerose Thanks for watching! Brake rotors have a coating put on them from the factory that helps prevent them from rusting before they are sold to the customer. You will have to use brake cleaner to remove this coating, which is necessary to properly marry the brake pad material to the rotors! 1aauto.com

[@ashleybellerose7104]

@@1AAuto thank you!

[@ashleybellerose7104]

My park break is broken lol

[@DevinDeCremer]

So... apparently you guys don't bother replacing the drum brakes? Thanks for showing me the long way to do the normal pads. 👍

[@johnsummers385]

Devin DeCremer: Most people don't know that there are parking brake shoes inside the rotors. They were taking the time to impart some information to folks who refer to rotors as drums ..

[@kevinstott1317]

Parking brake doesnt get used on auto transmission cars? Transmission is not a kickstand! Use the parking brake!

[@outmembered9219]

Nice tutorial, guys. But you should NOT lube the caliper bolts inside the boots - read the manual. Rear bolts are non-lubricated.

[@1AAuto]

+Outmembered Thank you for the feedback! 1aauto.com

no torque specs for bolts/pins?? smh
