I like this guy. I like the way he calls parts 'this guy' And hes doing a video for us to make our job easier. That damn 11 mm slide screw, NO ONE has that size except Amazon. I used a 10mm and a little flat screwdriver to take up the 1mm gap. Anyway, well done brother. Thank you!
Great video, thanks! For my 2011, the hex socket was 11mm. I had to order it special from internet as no parts stores carried it. Also, the torque settings were 75 ft lbs for caliper bracket to steering knuckle, and 40 ft/lbs for slider bolts.
I plan on changing mine out today. Thank you for making such a great, informative video. Appreciate it man! Note: if you have a 2016 and higher, you'll need an E20 socket to remove the caliper mounting bracket bolts.
Thanks for the confidence inspiring video. A tip for those with - if you have an older WK2 (mine is a 2015 with 100K) with original brake pads, your rattle could be caused by rusted mounting studs on the break pads. They make the little pressure mounting tabs out of cheap metal and they literally rust away with time and then allow the pads to make an annoying rattle over bumps (can occur on rear as well). I live in Cleveland, OH where they dump a lot of salt on our roads, so if you go longer than say 5 years, and live in a similar environment you may have the same issue. Simple fix with new pads (although both my rotors and pads had another 10-15K in them). I have NEVER had a set of pads last longer than 35-40K - Jeep did a great job engineering the pads and rotors to match the WK2 (mine is V6)! When I went to replace them, I paid up for MOPAR parts hoping to get same results again - don't mess with success!
Thanks for the video!!! I just did my pads in the front. And thanks to your video, I didn't have one issue at all. Took me about 30 minutes per side. Although the allen caliper bolt for the front I had to buy a specialty socket. It's an 11MM and almost no one sells an 11mm Allen. I bought a T12 Spline bit and worked great.
@@HowToWithLech I'll actually be using your other video for the rear brakes tomorrow. Do I need 330 or 350mm for a 2012 overland. Dudes at O'Reilly's couldn't tell me
@@Extra_Extra_ i didnt measure. normally i buy for my model and the seller confirms. but i'll try and check.. try maybee checking on autozone.com where you can put specs of your car and they'll recommend parts.
This looks a great video. Do you know if this will stop the sudden vibration/pulse I feel when I brake from high freeway (>50 MPH) speeds? I don’t really notice it much at slower speeds (
Yes. New rotors and pads will fix that if you experience it during breaking. But after installing a new set make sure to break them in. Brake Bedding. There is videos on this. I have one listed too. Also manufactures of this pads post directions too.
you mean after you did the breaks? dont think that would be rotor or pads as that would squeak if moving if not greased up etc. possibly something around brake pedal. sorry hard to tell. you got brake fluid and all that right.
The biggest problem actually is to have the allien bolt 11mm for the caliper bolts. It is very rare to have it and after reading a lot, it has been inveted by Mercedes for the ML model.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Maxim Clyde thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
i belive the front was 350mm yes, and rear 330mm. When purchasing just make sure you are getting they for your year, make, model and you will be fine. thanks
@@HowToWithLech Thanks... I did front and back w/o changing the rotors. They were in good shape. Pads cost about $125 total. Would have been another $400. Next time, if I still own the Jeep, I'll resurface them. Good video, though.
A regular set from ebay. just search for complete set of brake pads and rotors for your year. plenty of options but all pretty much the same, unless you go with slotted or zinc plated which is nice plus. but regular set should cost you about $130-$160 shipped for all 4.
You don’t need a block of wood to compress the piston. Even if you decide to compress the piston after removing you use the old onboard pad and a C clamp. Same purpose/results and one less item you have to keep track of. A piece of meta tubing with enough inside diameter to slide over the socket and cut to length with about length to provide the leverage required but short enough to get a full or even 3/4 turn inside the fender well.. inform mine at HD and just Dremel tooled to cut the required length. Dishwashing detergent on Rotors??? Really....if you pains $95’fornrotors then a $3.99 can of brake cleaner should not break the bank No retaining screw...I like that but if there is any new hardware in the kits then use them...new shims, clips, Seals etc.... Another common trick is to use a small coating of Anti-Seize around the rotor hub where the rotor hat slides onto the axle. Good video but a couple of additional tricks that a lot of people might not think about.
Best brake , rotor replacement video for my grand Cherokee I’ve seen, super helpful

awesome. thanks for the feedback.
Thank you great supplement information to go with this video!
Thanks I could not find this anywhere
Yes Greg… the same think happen to me on my 2012 and iam have the 10mm ande the 12mm and don’t fit…
I had to order too…🤷🏻♂️
Did rotors and pads all around using both of your videos. Well done brother. Super easy. You did a great job. Thanks!
Awesome👊. Thanks

Thank you for making this video. It was an awesome help
I did my 2012. That 11mm allen gave me problem . I use T55 and 3/8 both fits. Thanks for your video.

Yes my 2012 caliper bolt was 11mm as well. I thought it was 10 but 10 is too small
You can use a 11mm or 7/16
Thank you for making this!
Wish I seen this sooner! Before I paid to have it done. Thanks dude I'll use this next time

Hey mate, excellent video, any idea how to remove the DPF for Jeep grand C?
cheers
Sorry not sure

Thanks for teh video, but do you know the torque values of the 2 types of the bolts?
hi. sorry for the jeep i dont. i'll try and find out.
@@HowToWithLech , I found them already. 55Nm (41Ftp) and 200 Nm(148 Ftp).
Did you remember to remove the cap from your brake reservoir first?
yes remember to remove it, and put back on before pumping breaks once done. thought i showed it, but if i didn't apologies.
@@HowToWithLech Yes it showed towards the end, I must've missed it sorry about that, nice job by the way.
My Jeep makes a noise after I release from brake, any idea what it might be? I followed this video to a t

Yeah. Rare piece. What’s new right
They have them at home Depot and Ace
ACE probably. had no luck at my HD@@richcityrepresentative8805
The Allen socket is actually a 11mm or 7/16” Just ask Eric O

@Muhammad Chandler glad I could help xD
What size rotor is that is it the 350mm?
i belive the front was 350mm yes, and rear 330mm. When purchasing just make sure you are getting they for your year, make, model and you will be fine. thanks
They will ask if read is solid or vented … that will dictate your front size as well in their database
What was wrong with the rotors that you had to change them too? At 55k miles, they looked like they were still in good condition.
It’s so cheap to do it all yourself i rather replace it all. But yiu can do pads alone too if rotors in good shape and don’t need to be resurfaced
@@HowToWithLech Thanks... I did front and back w/o changing the rotors. They were in good shape. Pads cost about $125 total. Would have been another $400. Next time, if I still own the Jeep, I'll resurface them. Good video, though.
@@greg.montelione wow. nice. I guess you got some high quality stuff. good stuff.
What size was the hex nut
Hi I believe it was 9mm for the front and 7mm for the back
What rotors you use?

Should’ve just got the rotor cut instead of buying a new one. Other than that good info
It’s cheaper this way if can diy. Mechanics overcharge for cutting or new rotors. 👍
I did my brakes , and care won't move
?
That rubber o ring fvckəd my eyeballs out for about an hour one day. Never again though.
Haha. Yup
its 11 mm to get caliper off not 10
👍
damn what a rust bucket i have a 2014 grand cherokee and underneath of mine looks brand new this one is eat.up with rust all over everything
Wow, what an amazing comment.
🙃
Those stupid caliper clips are the devil
Agreed
Bro you are the mfn truth!🔥💪🏿🫡 you simplified this shit to an actual T!
Really appreciate that 👊👍
so are the bolts metric or sae?
sae for the socket- 13/16 and metric hex should be a 9mm. sorry for the confusion in video
@@HowToWithLech
13/16 is 21 mm
Be safe,
be good,
Be kind.
