love that your video shows all the dicking around it takes to get the part off. i HATE videos that are staged and the part just comes right off. People new to working on cars tend to question if somethings wrong when theirs doesnt come right off like in the video.
Here's a trick I just learned. Instead of beating the rotor off, get a longer bolt and thread it into the caliper mount from the back. tighten it against the rotor until it pops off.
I just did my brakes and found that hitting the rotor between the studs will break it for after a few hits with regular hammer. Just make sure to NOT hit the studs.
Heman, thanks for the illustration, great work I have one question, I have a Cherokee Laredo 2005 as well and i think there is a clicking noise while I brake on the rear right side by chance do you know if replacing the rotor would help or should I check the drum brakes? Thanks
Have the same clicking noise on my 05 grand cherokee. Doing some research and think it might be ebrake shoe making that noise. Did you every get yours fixed?
Instead of a hammer at 14:36 just put on two lugnuts. Opposite sides of each other. It'll hold it, put pressure on it and be easier to put caliper back on.
I need help! I ordered MGP Caliper Covers so I could make my 05 Laredo sexy and how. Guy who put my brakes on said aftermarket calipers don't fit? Any thoughts??? I'm in NJ...
You could try Tractor Supply or Big R is you have either of those. Or a John Dear dealer, they sell a ton of various O-Rings. It's not needed just helps hold it on during manufacturing, just makes life easier is all. .
That's lazy man ...Get under the car and undo the brake shoe adjuster...Then you wont have to wack it with the club hammer! Don't put easing oil on your brake disc, simply use Acetone to take off the protective coating of oil it came with and don't sand your discs as they are machined to be perfect and you are introducing scratches for no reason.

Your video made it easy for me to change brakes and alleviate a lot of cursing. Thanks!
Finally! Someone that uses brake grease and uses it right!
Good job, never,never,never give up . Thanks for being yourself
This video saved me from a lot of agony, thanks for posting.
+Jude Camberos Glad it helped you

Nice, I'll have to remember that for future vehicles.
This was very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

I’ve never used sandpaper on the new rotors?
Thanks, this helped me. For some reason the I put the new pads on. They wouldn't sit properly, how is that leaf spring suppose to sit?

Maybe it's the parking brake? Just guessing
@@Meekerextreme Hey, thanks for replying back, nope it actually sounds while breaking and right after I stop hitting the break pedal
@@AdrianVillalba was it the wheel bearing?

LOL, We beat and beat on that rotor trying to get it off, then noticed the o-ring. :)
Yeah, it's like WTF...LOLI do remember that from doing this years ago.

Sorry no clue
good job very informative I appreciate it.
maybe was hard to remove the disc because the parking brake was applied? Great and very instructional video!
It's wasn't applied
Is it the same process for an 06 jeep grand cherokee??
Alayshia Williams 2005 to 2010 are the same
It appears to be. That’s what I am doing now.
I like using a lug nut to hold the rotor on makes it easier for me 😊
I bought front brakes and rotors but need the rear done does it matter or should I go get the rear?
The front brakes do the majority of the stopping hence why your vehicle will nose dive. However if you need the rear you need the rear.
thank you so much for your help!!! nice video
You are welcome
Thanks you for your job 👍
great. thanks where can I find the o ring I was on few auto parts and they do not have it

By the way, what’s with the running water noise??!!!
You don't like the water feature, it's a fountain
i think you could use a parking brake on your chair...nice video....
What happened if u dont it clean up
Good job , Very good.
Pull the ebrake... I usually just down shift 1 or 2 gears briefly! ;-)
U dont have the car loaded on the jackstand?! Just there INCASE the car falls?? Please...lower the vehicle on the jackstand next time
They car is clearly on the jack stand and the bottle jack is backup. *shrug* No clue otherwise what you are rambling about.
@@Meekerextreme The car clearly is NOT on the jack stand because you moved it !!!!!!!
release the hand brake to remove the disc
It was
a quick roughing lol
No gloves real good stuff soaking in. .
Nothing but the best, you only live once so why worry grow a pair and be a man

Um you just rough them up...Mechanics been doing it this way for a long time. Thank you for watching.
