- How to Replace the Front Brake Pads, Rotors and Calipers on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. My daughters driver side caliper froze and wasted the rotor and pads. I had to replace the caliper, pads and rotor on the drivers side. The passenger side was fine but I replaced the pads so they matched.

when replacing the caliper a tip is to screw the lug nut on the rotor temporarily to hold the rotor in place while working with the caliper assembly.
Really saved me trouble showing how those clips go on! Google produced nothing about it. Saved me a lot of research...thank you!
I'm so glad your daughter is ok. I am doing a WJ front brake upgrade on my XJ and I never have owned a WJ so your video helped me find out where a d how theese clips went thank you! You helped one more person!🙂
Glad I could help and thank you about my daughter:-)
She said the grinding ‘started about a week ago’ (dad Hmmm)- it clearly was much longer than that! hahahahaha! 👌🤣😂😂
You know how my wife reports her engine stalled??? She calls saying her steering wheel is broke (wont turn)....lol
Great video. I love the "C"clamp to push the piston in, pulled my assembly off and was wondering how I was going to do that. Thanks for helping.
Thank you for posting. It also turned out that I needed to replace my Calipers as well. Your video made this easy to do.
Thank you for watching! Please subscribe and share too:)
Thank you so much for putting this nice video together for all of us UA-camrs who need to learn this stuff! Well done, sir!
May God bless you!
You are most welcome and I am so glad it was helpful to you! Thank you for watching and commenting:-)
Nice job, Berry. I've done this job a few times but it's nice to have a quick refresher before diving in!
Christopher Little Your welcome! I agree with you about that! Thank you for watching, sharing and commenting!
Fantastic, very helpful brush-up video for the occasional brake job.
Thank you for watching and I am glad it helped!
Awesome video, gonna do all 4 pads, and possibly get the rotors turned on mine this week! seeing the what all the bad parts looked like was a big help!
Thx for watching and I am glad it helped! Good luck!!
I like to put some anti seize where the rotor contacts the axles, between the studs and in the center hole of the rotor. It also helps on drum brakes. If you ever have to 'heat n beat' you'll understand!
Thank you for watching and adding your idea:-)
My go to video for my 01. Thank you sir.
Not the worst rotor I have ever seen. I saw one that was down to all the middle "spokes".
Yea I have seen much worse too! Its amazing how someone can get it to go that far and not hear it or feel it. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video thanks with my dad being so far Its hard to explain to him what's wrong with my Jeep! but this video was great and helpful thanks
I am glad it helped you out and thank you for watching and commenting:-)
You did a very good job, the show and tell was excellent, my friend is having problems he changed his break pads, and rotors and still having problems.
Thx for watching! What kind of problems is he having?
A great tip I learned is to hold the caliper on snug with a couple of lug nuts before putting the caliper back on. Thanks for the video.
Holy crap! Never seen a rotor that bad before.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful and instructive.
steve happe Your most welcome Steve and thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! Thank you! I need to do my breaks and rotors. Looks pretty straight forward. Haha, famous last words. Calibers look like they can get tricky
Thank you for watching and your welcome:) Good Luck!
I need to do this to my jeep so bad but have not had the time. I will use your video when the time comes. Thanks!
Thx for watching, commenting and sharing! I hope it all goes well for you:)
Awesome, thanks for the very detailed help, keep up the good work!
+Gil Aristeo Thank you for the compliment and watching my video and taking the time to comment on it:-)
Great video man! Really helped me out!
thanks for the vid bro. I have a 2002 laredo and im about to do the ball joints, figured might as well do my bearings and rotors and replace the brakes while im at it.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for this man! Soooooo helpful
thank you very much for the video was very helpful.
thanks for the video, it was a great help. sorry about your car and daughter, glad she is ok.
Thank you for your concern and your welcome for the video:-) Also I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
This seems to be common, at least with both of our WJ Grand Cherokees. Don’t drive them often enough, let them sit in our damp PNW climate, and pistons & calipers stick so you drag brakes.
Love a good ol dad car fix video thanks
Good helpful video but like other person said at 3:15 wanted to see how to get other half of caliper off. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for sharing! I had to replace my driver side hub bearing last summer.. too bad the brake didn't go out back then as well. It just smelled very hot yesterday and the rim was even warm. Did a little research which fully convinced me it was caliper, but I also saw where it could have been a collapsed brake line? Never heard of that issue before. Just bought the caliper and am going to give it a try today. I'm sure my rotors need turned, but that's a job for another day. 155,x They lead a charmed life.
Thank you for watching! I am glad it helped. Depending on how bad they are and how much you pay to turn them in your area it might be better to just replace them new. You can get new ones for around $25 each or so.
Berry Meherg I worded my first comment a little wrong. The brake calipers were original. The rotors have about 45,x on them. Don't want anyone thinking I am still running the original rotors at 155,x! Lol. Hopefully mine have a little life left..
The replaced caliper seems to have fixed the job. I even seem to be getting better fuel economy according to my computer. It must have been slightly stuck for some time.
i need to know how to change the mounting bracket, got the footage of that yet?
Always do them all in pairs. So if you do a rotor on the left you should do it on the right as well... or it will pull hard to the side you didn't do when you hit the brakes hard
The art of manliness. Thanks
The caliper bracket is held on with two bolts that are hex socket heads correct?
Can we do the same thing with a 2001 grand Jeep Cherokee?
My hardware kit came with 4 clips to hold in the pads. But i have another clip that i cannot figure out where it goes! Any ideas? I see the same clip was already on the old caliper, but i did not see where it came from before it fell off
Did you do a video on that axel assembly with torn boot...mine is torn too...waiting for it to make noise 😝
What kind of calipers are those, the ATE/Tevez?
So I found out that I have to replace my caliper and my brakes. When I do that do I have to drain the brake fluid?
How do you test if the caliper needs to be replaced? If you can push the pistons back in, does that mean the caliper is ok?
GR8 job buddy
In what circumstances do you need to bleed the brakes? I was thinking of changing the caliper, rotors, and pads as my front right has frozen. I have zero experience with car. What do I need to do if I wanted to take on this job myself
Replacing a caliper would be one. At the very least you would have to bleed that side. Once you get yours brake parts replaced. Make sure your vehicle is in park and start it up. Pump the brakes 5 or 6 times then check your brake fluid and top it off. Repeat this step until your fluid does not go down. Now to bleed your brakes you will need someone to pump the brakes 4-5 times and then just keep steady pressure on the brake pedal while you back off the bleeder valve just enough to let any air out (I always loosen the bleeder valve first). A small amount of brake fluid will come out as well. repeat this process until your brake pedal is nice and firm and keep your brake fluid topped off during this process.
Please do not hesitate to ask any more questions and good luck!
Really good video, thanks for the explanation. My father wanted me to know how to replace my brakes and rotors because it's important to know how, and told me to check youtube. So this helped a lot. Thanks!
Shaunessey Crozier I am so glad it helped you! Thank you for watching and commenting too!!
what tools you need thanks good job dad did my son bearing in dead of winter lolnot nice
you kind of look like the guy from horrible bosses. lol. good video!
Thank you, I think...Hopefully one of the funny ones. Thank you for watching.
Did you forget to put the o-ring back on the rotor? I seen you take it off with the small screw driver but didn’t see it go back on
Thx I'm changing my is easy thx👍👍👍👍
i have a 98 jeep grand cherokee i replaced all 4 calipers bleed the brakes and now pedal goes to the floor and i'm stuck with no brakes , original problem was locked up left front brake to the point it was smoking. any help appreciated
I would bleed the Master cylinder and then start with the passenger side rear tire, then drivers rear, then passenger front and lastly drivers front. You probably have a lot of air. Let me know what that does for you then we will go from there. Good luck!
after watching your video on your channel. you put your calipers on the wrong side bleeder is above the brake line not below. you still have air in the caliper
I'm seeing prices of around $160 on Amazon for a complete set of (4) rotors and pads for the 1999 Laredo (WJ series). Would love to know if you think that's too high, or whether you have a preferred source for these parts. Thanks. Great vid!
I shop Advanced Auto Parts most of the time because I can order online and pick up in store or ship to house for free:-) there is a code for 30% off entire order. You can get the codes online for many different stores:-) Thanks for watching and commenting and good luck replacing your's :-)
thank you man! jeni chase
Awesome vid! Is it ok to leave the car on park while replacing the pads and rotors?
Thank you! Yes, I always block up a couple of tires just to be safe. I also try to do it as level ground as I can find. Thx for watching:)
im having to do that right now but my rotor looks new not like hers but my brakes are sticking and i have the same jeep
Sometimes even fairly new rotors can build up rust around the lip or they rotor has worn down to where there is a lip preventing the caliper/brakes to slide off easily. You may have to take a small hammer and tap the edge of the rotor to remove some rust or use a big screw driver to pry the caliper/brakes pads off.
Do you have a version of the video where you explain when you change the brake line from one caliper to the other? I've replaced my rotors and pads a few times before but now I need to replace a caliper and I'm kind of stumped on the swapping the brake lines, bleeding lines etc.
Great video on the other parts!
Thank you for watching and commenting. I keep meaning to do a video on bleeding brakes and I apologize that I have not done this yet. When you say brake lines do you mean the rubber hose or the metal brake line? The brake hose is easy to replace. Brake lines can be a little more tricky sometimes. The hardest part to bleeding brakes is getting the bleeder valve loose. I start by going and loosening all of those before I start the bleeding process and then start from the furthest point from the master cylinder which would be your right rear tire and then the left and then front right and then front left. If you only touched the front tires you could just bleed them and test your brakes and if they are not spongy then you are all set. I hope this helps and please do not hesitate to ask any further questions.
Actually all I'm doing is replacing the caliper like you had done but I haven't bled brakes before. I've never needed too.
That is true most of the time unless you lose enough brake fluid where it sucks some air into the system. I am glad you do not need to then:-)
Where these brakes upgrade with the mid 2002-2004 brakes? Or did the 4x4's come with this brake config? (By-the-way you scared me when I saw you put your foot under the new rotor without a jack stand. I've seen a jack fail, not pretty.)
All 1999-2002 Grand Cherokee WJ models built through May 10, 2002 came equipped with brake calipers made by Teves. They are black in color with an open-sided bracket design. Due to poor caliper centering, the Teves calipers caused the rotors to warp, a problem that has plagued Grand Cherokees. At the very end of the 2002 model year, Jeep changed to "fully-closed" style calipers designed by Akebono. All Grand Cherokee models produced on or after May 11th, 2002 feature the new calipers. International models built on or after August 16th, 2002 also feature the new calipers.
Yes, these are the upgraded brakes. The calipers from 1999-2002 caused confusion in the ABS and would alternately "squeeze" the front rotors causing the front end "death wobble." Or so I was told and I haven't had the wobble since changing them out 45K miles ago! Get the 2003-2005 style calipers.
Were these the Teves style or Akebono calipers?
Bryan Broughton The most noticeable difference between the two caliper types is the ATE/Teves caliper has a thick wire clip that helps hold the pads in place. The Akebono calipers do not have this wire clip. Another way is to check the casting number on the back of the caliper. The Akebono calipers will have casting number 4802 on them. The ATE Calipers will have casting number 4835.
Can you tell me the caliper size nd brand that you used nd the rotors cuz I've been trying to get all those parts but I can't find them without a part number plz
What year and model is yours? I will get you the correct information. Thx for watching!
Could I have the same info on the brakes and caliper? Thank you!!! You've been a lot of help
Nice
Ouch, she wrecked your car while fixing her Jeep.
Good video!
Did you oil the slide pins on the caliper and break pads is this something I have to do?
Normally you should grease them with copper grease to help them slide back and forth, I had ran out at the time and did not do it.
Berry Meherg Ok thanks for your help.
When that caliper swung my heart sank lol
Word, I've done brake jobs on all my cars but I've never had the guts to just let the caliper hang by the hose.
good man you know how to treat your vehicles. but on the other hand personally I don't think your daughter deserves to drive
+Denver Ranger Well in her defense she is much better now and has not had any more accidents..."knock on wood" :-) Thank you for watching and commenting!
How much in parts you spend?
I bought all the parts online through shop.advanceautoparts.com/home and I used code SCW2571 for 25% off.
UNBELIEVABLE! the entire reason I watched the video was to see how to get the other half of the Caliper off but at 3:25 its edited out? WTF. Its the only damn hard thing to get out.
You are correct it looks like I accidently cut it right out. I apologize for that. I will have to go back through my raw footage and see if it is there and post it as an annotation. Thank you for watching and commenting and I apologize again for the screwup:-(
What's the puppies name he a beauty
so i guess that rotor couldn't be turned?
It is usally cheaper to just replace the rotor anyway in my experience, compared to what it would cost to have someone turn it for you.
That Axle should have been replaced before you did the brakes now you have to do the job twice. If the Boot is ripped the grease is history and it will be clicking soon if it's not already. Wile you were fixing your daughters ride she was wreaking yours.thank god i didn't have a Daughter.
totally skipped the part I needed to see... awesome..
Was the caliper bracket? Apparently I edited that part out and I will be going through the raw video to see if I can find it. I apologize for that and I thank you for watching and commenting!
Lol. that's a response my wife give a me. "I just heard that sound yesterday" says this when I get into her car and hear noises when it cranks. Lol. but why should she care about the noises when the first thing she does is blast her music. she thinks just keeping the gas tank full is more than enough. lol
A strip of leather might have stopped better than the old “pad”!!
Its the price of having daughters I guess...LOL!
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching my video:-)
Female driver. “It just started grinding a week ago!”
Easily resurfaced dogg.
Wow, glad your daughter is okay, but she has no respect for what it takes to own an automobile. Drove her car to the point her rotor looked like that. CV boot torn up and I bet it's been knocking. Then she crashes your car. Good write up though, good luck with your daughter.
You should replace the caliper it looks like shit
+RAM121264 The caliper is not sticking at all and everything slides and works as it should and if money was not so tight I would replace them anyway:-) Thank you for watching and commenting and your advice!
Here are some tips. If you turn the wheel it makes getting to the brake bolts easier (I see at some point he turned the wheel). Pushing the piston in is easier before removing the caliper. Of course watching wrenches or sockets make the job go quicker and easier. No need to clean the rotor in my opinion. I have done 100's of brake replacements over the years and have never cleaned the rotors. I do though clean where the rotor attaches.
Some of the absolute sloppiest work I've ever seen. Didn't really clean or lubricate anything....
If she's that bad with vehicles first her jeep then she wrecks your car. And she obviously can't take care of her or your vehicles. I'd be taking her license. And making her pay for the repairs
II can see, the new rotors you put on are not original, mopar :P
