New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABF...
Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes. This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ front brake pads and rotors on your 2008-12 Jeep Liberty.

just saved me $500 from watching this video

I am buy no means a mechanic but I have done my front breaks and rotors 4 times on 2 different jeep liberties and about a dozen on cars with friends. I seen something in this video that was left out and I'm hoping someone can educate me on this but I was under the assumption that you have to go under the hood and remove the cap on the break fluid reservoir so that when you compress the calibers, there isnt a build up of pressure that could damage the lines or force the calipers back after force is applied? I hope this makes sense that I'm curious if it doesnt matter if that cap is removed or not? I always take the cap off but this video didnt, so is it necessary?

[@MegaHannaz]

I always take the reservoir cap off. Not sure where I heard it from/read about it, but I have always thought it was the done thing.

[@jviews1]

Excellent. Good emphasis on cleaning old parts. Rarely see this focus which is so important.

[@TRQ]

+mike v Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@coquiboricua8674]

This is so helpful. I love how he says specific measurements for each bolt and nut

[@irvingguerrero6052]

Excellent video and great level of expertise on your part. Thanks

[@n8ryder]

Awesome demo. No way I’m doing that. I’ll pay someone hahahaha. Way more involved than I thought and although I know I could do it I don’t have all the right tools and sprays etc. nice video though dude

[@thecommoncollector]

Should you “bed” drilled and slotted rotors ?

[@jazziez6467]

Does anyone else notice these Jeep liberty's are a pile of rust? Oil pan rusted out at 57,000, transmission pan rusted out 62,000 along with muffler and pipes rusted off at 70,000, now the brakes are a pile of rust. Much more too.

[@davidsustak9082]

Perfect tutorial. I just changed my brakes like this. So easy with this video. Your help me alot. Thanks

[@mattcahill463]

Nobody said anything about that vehicle has two slightly different size brake rotors and I would imagine pads size.

[@CPhDavis]

So my master cylinder is leaking brake fluid when I compressed the pistons. Did I miss a step? Why am I leaking brake fluid?

[@tommydavis7594]

If your master cylinder was full when you compressed the piston it will overflow

[@imbgdaug]

A lot of steps I often miss or forget. Ty

[@highlife2435]

Hi is this the same for 2011 jeep liberty limited 4×4?

[@GBULL1982]

I would say it is

[@stevensirmans8299]

Great video! Well made and informative.

[@rmp608]

This is the way to do it!!!!! Thank You!!

[@sawsawBoom6]

Great video

[@bravobullz7475]

No need to bleed system??

[@fabiolasampaio122]

Muito bom aula

[@dgstudioLLC]

You didn’t have to take both bolts off. Top screw out an drop the caliber down. Sea clamp the caliber to push the piston back and add your pads. Took me 20 minutes to do these brakes

[@okletsthinkaboutthis4468]

Haha always faster when u got the tricks n magic

[@dgstudioLLC]

ok let's think about this lol

[@dgstudioLLC]

@rj jr lmao I didn't need rotors I changed my brakes before they hit medal to medal smart guy 😂😂

[@Morningstar6769]

Good vid !!!

[@joeycurcuru1]

he must have removed the cap from the brake fluid in order to get the piston to contract so easily. Normally i use a c-clamp with a small piece of wood for level force if needed. His screw driver hack, and ultrafine lubing and sanding, that’s all excessive

[@cb7sosa665]

Do i need to open the bleeder valve while compressing the piston??

[@brandonbouman3769]

No sir

[@dgstudioLLC]

If you want firm pressure and no air in your brake line I would bleed the caliber

[@michaelstromer3338]

yes by all means. bleed her
