[@williamgladle9211]

My son wont listen to me and I am an certified airplane mechanic, I thought you explaination was spot on. Maybe, just maybe he will listen to you.. Great Job.!!!

[@StreetersGarage]

Let me know if you want me to have a sit down with him. Lol

[@josemendez2487]

I appreciate you mi amigo, your video help me adjust my brakes and save me from spending money on a mechanic, thanks.

[@StreetersGarage]

Awesome! That’s great.

[@BrunoSolari-x3q]

Thank You for your great video. I follow the instructions and the E Brakes work perfect!! Thank You again.

[@StreetersGarage]

Excellent!

[@Joffaburger]

Thanks man very helpful as my hand brake only holding on a flat surface and wouldn't support its weight on an incline... Cheers!

[@StreetersGarage]

Awesome. Glad it helped you out

[@chek435]

Perfect! Just what I needed to know. Thanks!!

[@chek435]

I didn't pull the wheels but jacked the rear up at the jackpot and got both wheels off the floor. It was a piece of cake. Unfortunately, I'm down to the bone with 190k miles. I think there's enough to get me through one more inspection. Thanks again for the vid. I was happy to see it was an '05, too. Same as mine.

[@StreetersGarage]

That’s great. Even when adjusted correctly they still barely work. I had to readjust mine every year to pass inspection

[@philstat100]

Thank You for the great video. You explained the work in a very simple and easy way to understand. Again Thank You.

[@StreetersGarage]

you're welcome

[@anandmg]

Thank you! Very helpful. Was abt to remove everything, but it looks like I dont even need to jack!

[@StreetersGarage]

You got it!

[@llsmith8271]

tnx :D. wasnt sure which way to turn star wheel for tightening.

[@StreetersGarage]

No problem. Glad it helped you out

Great vid thanks for the tutorial!

[@StreetersGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@laffilmfest3759]

Thank u...well explained

[@StreetersGarage]

Thanks!

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

The real problem on my 2008 Liberty turned out to be that non OEM parking brake shoes had the incorrect end details (geometry) and could NEVER work properly. Swapping to MOPAR brake shoes solved the problem. FYI - my Bosch shoes look to be OK, but they have not been installed yet.

[@StreetersGarage]

Glad you figured it out. Sometimes it’s worth buying OEM parts if you’re doing it yourself.

[@richaunfacey5447]

Nice video just a couple of questions. What position should the parking brake be in before starting, and do you need to do both wheels or just one? Thanks.

[@StreetersGarage]

Brake is off. You’ll do both wheels

[@eldon1961]

@@StreetersGarage I was wondering the same thing.

[@x556]

I'm going to change the shoes and replace the hardware with a kit I bought from Autozone, hopefully this works out, I've NEVER had an operational parking and I've tried adjusting so many times. Could I be doing anything wrong before I start changing all this stuff?

[@StreetersGarage]

The adjustment on the shoes is critical in this since they are not auto adjusting. Once you get everything replaced, set the adjuster so it just starts to drag and leave it.

[@streetfighter1234ish]

do you think it could be the shoes and ya do the adjustment with brake off

[@StreetersGarage]

+streetfighter1234ish The shoes are cheap. It's possible that you have broken springs or something is bound up. I would pull everything apart and clean everything up. How many miles and have you ever pulled them apart?

[@lastmanstanding1954]

do you adjust the star drive up with screwdriver on both left and right wheel ? or is one up and one down ? if so which is up and which is down?

[@StreetersGarage]

Driver is down Passenger is up

Steve Wright No Problem. Glad it helped you out Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

[@AceBullion]

Does yours only have the parking brake on one side??? Mine is on both. Perhaps that's the European spec ???

[@StreetersGarage]

Both sides. Needs to be redundant

[@presidenteldermarkhoffman8304]

I just ordered new wagner thermo quiets off amazon. Figure why get 13dollar set and get maybe something better than stock $25. Do those adjusters need to be towards rear of vehicle when putting new ones in.

[@StreetersGarage]

They do only go in one way. If I remember correctly. The "Push Rod" should point towards the front of the vehicle.

[@streetfighter1234ish]

There the original

[@StreetersGarage]

+streetfighter1234ish Ok. Yes, they're probably shot then.

[@streetfighter1234ish]

brake is hitting the drum but wont hold is there an adjustment for the cable

[@StreetersGarage]

+streetfighter1234ish Pull the drum/rotor off and make sure the assembly is moving when you pull the handle.

[@streetfighter1234ish]

they are moving but not holding

[@StreetersGarage]

streetfighter1234ish Are the brake shoes any good?

[@waltbaze8771]

Just out of curiosity, do you have to engage the e-brake when adjusting?

[@StreetersGarage]

No

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

I replaced the entire floor mounted handle-drum system, both brake hat-rotors and brake pads, and adjusted it at least twice since. The e-brake is still mediocre on a hill. Its a bad design. On the KK libby the external adjusting port is not really accessible due to adjacent caliper bracket.

[@StreetersGarage]

Yes it is. I’ve adjusted it every tine I need to get the vehicle through my state inspection and it barely works.

@@StreetersGarage on KL 2008 model the slots for the rubber plugs are in a different location compared to year earlier model Jeep Liberty.

[@StreetersGarage]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@SandShark350]

Some vehicles have a screw to adjust the cable at the handbrake is self, does the liberty have one?

[@StreetersGarage]

Not sure.

[@cringualexandrupopa4858]

The cable has automatic adjustment.

[@flyingalbert]

You only show one side. How about the other side? Move the tick up too with the screw driver or has to be reverse and move it down instead?

[@StreetersGarage]

You would move it down.
