The 10mm allen wrench is too loose for the front calipers. It should be 11mm, or a 7/16" allen wrench. Just a heads up before you get going on this.
Caliper bolt is 11mm. I bought mine at Home Depot. Thanks for the video.
Best video on UA-cam for this job. Complete with all necessary details and no useless babble.Same hardware is on Jeep Grand Cherokee (which is the SUV I just worked on). Thanks for a great video!
yes it was beneficial but i was actually hoping to find the torque specs on the caliber bolts?
Super helpful video. That hammer is called a dead-blow hammer. 😉 thank you for helping me with my tool list. Got a set to do tomorrow. Cheers, mate!
Don't forget to remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before you push in the Pistons.
Please note that the hex/allen socket is actually 11MM.It is an uncommon size but I found them on Amazon and Autozone websites.In both cases they are impacts.This question came up after I noticed a written tutorial called for 11MM.I did some research and found a discussion board that confirmed it.They did say that the 10MM could work if positioned the right way but the actual size is 11MM.
+mikeappel2 Thanks for the comment. I was wondering when i was doing them why my tool wasent fitting right. I assumed 10mm was the closet thing. Thanks for the comment and info!
Thanks for that. Saved me some time.
I wish I would've read your comment earlier.
@@arlenvanderhoff6546 oh boy. 😮
Good looking out bro. I thought when the mechanic bro was saying the harbour freight allen drive socket didn't fit right, that he was potentially saying it was to short.
But it's an 11mm huh? Its probably a low quality sketchy azz fastener because he speaks about the threads being weak & stripping the head multiple times. Often those CheapO bolts make it feel like a 10mm or 11mm do not sit in there quite right. I worked at a machine shop that did have size 10.5mm & 11.5mm hex keys & sockets. (A half size bigger then 10mm and 11mm) But they were not commonly needed.
I would think Dodge top brass would meet and say
"Aight gentlemen. We know brakes are still something the suburban Dad will be trying to do at home in his driveway. He will be trying to teach the next generation of young Americans not to be puccies. So let's make it very simple to change the brake pads. Lets make the parts durable enough, even for dummies. Most importantly gentleman, lets make sure that Dodge does not do some stupid shyt that will piss off our last generation and puccify this whole new generation of Americans 🇺🇸 ok, hands in Ready Brake! 😎
But... that's just what I would think. It probably went more like this...
💰💸💰
🤨🤔🤑... So these are the cheapest bolts u got for sale in this whole Chinese factory bro? U dont got Nothing cheaper? Maybe sitting in the back of the warehouse or over in your uncle Kim's garage? No osha ratings 😂 Nha their just for brakes bro and theirs 2 on each side.
Great video
Why didn't you lube the back of the pads or the caliper where they make contact?
Front brakes are 11 mm and the rear brakes require a 7 mm hex or allen wrench.
Totally agreed. The 10mm is too loose, not correct. I didn't have an 11mm, just a 10 & 12. So, just by chance, my 7/16" allen wrench also fit perfectly on the front calipers.
Good video but I have to ask.. The brakes were fine, plenty of pad left. Why did you need to perform this brake job?
Nicely done.
+Tom Sullivan Thank you!
How do you get the back brake pad to seat in the pistons? They don't just slide in. I don't want to use too much pressure

ExCtky hiw many Ft pounds is "really tight"? This may be the reason you "stripped many out before" on caliper bolts. Too bad they don't make a manual that tells you proper torque setting for bolts on vehicles.
I did a brake pad swap on my 2015 Durango and now when i drive after 20 to 30 minutes and the brakes are hot and I apply pressure the brake clicks. I did not cut my rotors. Can this be the problem?
Did you have to bleed the brakes
My 2013 Durango has 11mm Allen head caliper bolts. A 10mm is too small!
Did you remove the brake reservoir cap before pushing the pistons back in?
No but you should. Just don't forget about it
Anyone know what the exact torque is for the caliper adapter bolts??
What size rotors ? 330 mm or 350 mm
would you happen to recall how many miles that specific durango you were working on had? I have the same durango (2013) and was curious if should start to consider changing my pads and/or rotors or not. I have ~45000 miles on mine. Thanks in advance.
+Omri Hared I dont remember, sorry. You can always take your wheel off and look, & if you have some squeaking or anything coming from the front it is an indication that you might be getting low pads.
11 mm on the bolts hence the play
Where did you place your jack to lift the truck up
+blaspHEMI 11 This was on a lift at a shop. I honestly dont remember where i lifted it at.
Do you do the same exact steps for the rear breaks?
I dont remember exactly what the rears looked like. If they were drum brakes then no. (obviously). If the rears are disc brakes then it should be the same concept. I wouldent say exactly the same procedure cause i dont know how there set up, but i would imagine its the same principals, might have bolts instead of a giant clip to keep the caliper tight. Small differences.
yes except the rear hex head is smaller. i just changed by pads today but didnt note what size hex head it fit. sorry
by any chance do you happen to know the exact Bolt spacing on caliper for Durango? front and back
+George Franklin. What do u mean? Bolt spacing? Do you mind to word it a different way? I would like to answer though if i can.

130 ft pounds for those caliper bracket bolts. Torque them with a torque wrench, you know like your family's life depended on it.
No grease wow
Wow
Could have done better.
