Sasha's XJ Lost its Brakes! Jeep Cherokee front brakes

Break Bleeder kit: amzn.to/3RbtnAu
Complete Front Brake Kit Jeep Cherokee XJ 1990-1999:

Not the kit I used in the video, because I had to get parts quickly from local supplier. I have used these Power Stop Extreme products in the past and have been happy with them. If I had time to wait for shipment, I would order these.

I’m glad you replaced both. Always replace in pairs.

[@JeepSolid]

Yes! Thank you

[@maloucustoms]

Just some advice, In most cars, a brake bleeder sequence starts with the passenger rear wheel, the driver rear wheel, the passenger front, and finally, the driver front. However, always follow your owner’s or service manual for the correct sequence.

[@veganoverlander]

Brakes are usually bled starting with the wheel that is furthest from the master cylinder and working towards the wheel closest to the master cylinder. This prevents bubbles in the system being forced into pipes towards wheels that have already been bled.

[@JeepSolid]

Yes. Thank you for correcting my mistake.

[@michaelrichards669]

Awesome to pass on the knowledge to children and grandchildren later on. My grandfather was a Diesel mechanic for the Railroad and could tear down tractors and put them back together. But sadly he never passed that onto any of grandkids. My father would only work on his Van or cars if BROKEN.(which meant a day or two) and too busy to have us kids help him.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, it’s sad when parents are ‘too busy’ to spend this time with their kids. My parents didn’t teach me anything about mechanics. Had to learn it all on my own. But that doesn’t mean I can’t teach my kids! It’s valuable time

[@michaelrichards669]

@@JeepSolid I agree.... KZbin and just quick internet search has so much. Trying to get my Son to learn just a little bit each week.

wtg Sash!

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks

[@dg98adams]

I hate the hard line to rubber connection but always try to do brakes hoses when changing calipers…. But I noticed my 99 Cherokee (picked up last month) had the “notches” in the knuckle too so I guess that I’m going to pull the calipers back off and take care of it next opportunity. Glad to see Sasha involved.

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks! Seems like there is always something to do. Haha

[@MikeH_41-33_LII]

Pretty sure the TJ and XJ share the same platform so this would apply to a TJ too. Thanks Dale!

[@JeepSolid]

Cool. They are super similar in many ways 👍

[@Louis-pe2sp]

Sasha are so cute ❤

[@roccom5988]

Great job.

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks

[@jackcollins2344]

I was always told to start at the farthest away from master cylinder to bleed brakes. I will try your thinking next time working on my brakes

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah. I believe the correct way is closest first, but I’ve been wrong before. Logic in going closest first is if you do furthest first, but still have some air in a closer line, it can bleed into the further away line . Kinda like sucking on a straw with a hole in it 🤷‍♂️

[@jackcollins2344]

@@JeepSolid I agree with your thinking because to me that makes sense

[@JeepSolid]

You were correct originally. I’ll be changing my way of thinking about this. Most common to start furthest away. Adapt and learn for me 🤗

[@jackcollins2344]

@@JeepSolid life is a learning experience as long as we are willing to learn. I'm always learning at age 70.. I enjoy watching your videos

[@irishguy8208]

Dale: Another great video. Nice that your girl is interested in working on cars. Most kids now a days don't even know how to change a flat tire or care to learn. You need to get Sasha a pair or two of clear safety classes, have her keep one in her own car. Not a dig, she just needs to learn the right way to work on a car. When she was underneath the car looking up without safety glasses on UGH.

[@JeepSolid]

You sir are totally right 👍 I’m usual really good about safety gear, but totally missed in this case. I guess I wasn’t expecting her to go at it from underneath. I’ll be more attentive next time

[@ARNO900RR]

Remember People when doing brakes in your Jeep You will need a welder.😅 Almost everone has notches on the knuckle yokes.

[@kidd7359]

Front and rear are on separate systems. If your vacuum bleeding, I wouldn't think it would matter where you start. Pumping the pedal bleeding???

[@JeepSolid]

Separate systems? The lines all come to the same master cylinder

[@kidd7359]

@@JeepSolid front and rear are completely independent. Have been for safety

I have a 1991 jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0 no start done replace almost every sensor today I put on a used ECM off of a XJ just like mine and it still won’t start it started up Sunday but haven’t since new coil new crank sensor still nothing

[@JeepSolid]

Not sure what all you have looked at, but I start with Spark and Fuel. Make sure each plug has good spark, then I test fuel pressure. Maybe spray a bit of starter fluid in it to see what it does.

[@theman-qu2hl]

Fuel pressure regulator located inside fuel pump housing or on fuel rail.

[@nopoohfan7112]

Disposable gloves 🧤, then she does not worry so much about grease getting on the pads and rotor.

[@JeepSolid]

Sometimes I use gloves, but I then worry about touching a greasy part with the glove and then contaminating the pad 🫤

[@nopoohfan7112]

@@JeepSolid use disposable then change them when installing post grease. The harbor freight ones fit tighter, they have different sizes. Just my suggestion.

Sasha are so cute 🤡 I have to a Jeep XJ but ab1993
