2019 jeep cherokee latitude plus 2.4L engine here, thanks for the video! Only thing I would add for future jeep owner who stumbled upon this video is check your front brake if they are dual piston like shown in this video or single piston, you can easiely tell from the outside cuz the dual piston ones the brake pad is straight sided (and longer) and the single piston the pads are curved (and smaller) otherwise can verify everything works in the video!
does this work with 2021 cherokee? I know it says it in the title but I was told I have to reset the computer when I change the breaks is that true??? thank you.
Do the caliper bracket bolts need to be replaced? I've read a lot of conflicting information about them. Some say they are one time use (Torque to Yield). Others say no. They look like a traditional bolt but with an E20 head (T55 for the rear brakes)
As a mechanic with over 20 years experience...... DON'T EVER TOUCH BLEEDER SCREWS UNLESS YOU'RE BLEEDING BRAKES........ I have done hundreds of brake jobs in my life and never have I ever touched a bleed screw unless I was bleeding the system. Getting even just the slightest amount of air into your brake system can cause massive issues.
As you showed here I tried to use E20 socket for removing those bracket bolts but it did not work at all??!! I bought a set of those sockets from Princess Auto when I tried to use E20 the socket even could not sit properly on the bolt!! it could not be flash!! it would just cover 2/3 of the hight of Bolt!! And of course it could not open that bolt. Can you help?
+@faridsafazadeh1137 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
In a properly maintained brake system, the fluid level in the brake master cylinder goes down as the brake pads wear down. There is absolutely no need whatsoever to crack any bleed screws when compressing the brake pistons. As long as you didn't needlessly add fluid to the system, the level will just rise back to the point that it should when the brakes were originally new when you compress the pistons. If there's one thing I've learned in my 20 years of auto mechanics it's if it isn't broke then don't fix it. The amount of risk you're taking in introducing air into the brake system just to make the piston easier to collapse is monumentally stupid. I mean sure you could also do an oil change by removing the oil pan completely instead of just pulling the drain plug but why would you?
I just took my car in for brake work and they used the cheapest brake pads and rotors. Wagner pads for front and back and 2 new front rotors $750. I always fainted. Pair of Wagner pads $30 at most and rotors $150 at most. I get brake dust and when I press the brakes the car doesn't want to stop. I brought the back to the shop and still same issues. Never again to the nasty brake shop (Brakes Plus).

Lol why wouldnt you just remove the reservoir cap intead of opening bleeder screw?

I'm scared to bleed the brake fluid alone because I was always told someone needs to be pressing the brakes while the other bleeds the fluid.

LULZ. Socket wrench to break torque ... considered a no-no. People do it all the time though. It abuses your tools is all.
