This Do-It-Yourself video shows me changing a leaking rear wheel brake cylinder on my 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ.
THIS is how you make a how-to video! Helpful, direct, comprehensive...well done, sir!
blbowers It is funny how many degrade into blah blah. Jeep On
Got in the TJ today and the brake pedal hit the floor and the brake light on the dash lit up and beeped. Made it home and looked everywhere. Saw fluid all over the inside of the rear driver's side wheel, none on the line itself. Anyway, this is going to be my project tomorrow. This was the first video I saw and it pretty much explained everything I needed to know. Thanks!
Make Jeeps Great Again. Hope it goes well.
Thanks for the video. I've never changed one. Until today. Your video was quick. Well made. And it had a jeep in it. So you know it's good.
+Shaun Barnes Jeep On!
I have a 2003 TJ and figured out I had the same problem after watching your video. Two separate mechanic shops told me that my rear diff was leaking, but it wasn't a big deal. Driving home, my brakes went to the floor and I had a difficult time stopping. I had my 5 year old son with me and this pissed me off that the mechanics didn't check the brake fluid level. Long story short, no accident, $400.00 rental car for a $10.00 fix. I followed your video and fixed it very quickly about two hours total time. Most of the time was spent trying to get the drum off- most difficult portion. the only difference is the brake line took a 7/16 line wrench. Not sure if the size changed between 2002 and 2003. Thank you for the video- could not have figured this out without it. -keep it up
Yep. If you look, I have another video for changing the axle seal. I diagnosed it wrong too. And yes, getting drums off can be difficult, sometimes it helps to back off the adjuster with a screw driver through the back plate. Glad it helped. Jeep On!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've worked on vehicles for many years, but always hesitant when doing something for the first time. Your video gave me a great comfort level and I went in and knocked out the job.
Cool. That video is a few years old and I am embarrassed that I didn't have my brake pliers. It's even easier with them. Jeep On!
Thanks so much for the video! I remember helping my dad change out the brake shoes and brake wheel cylinders back in 66 on a Chevy. I sure do miss him. You sound like Eric the car guy. Have to fix my brake cylinders on my Jeep tonight. Your clip is gonna save me $$, thanks again!
Lee Sires I don't hear it. But I will take it. That's better than sounding like Dale from @jeepsolid. :)
I watched this a few times earlier and successfully changed my passenger rear wheel cylinder on my 2004 wrangler! Thanks for the great video! Jeep on!
Jeep on, brother... Watched your video. Changed mine out from lug nuts to lug nuts in 20 minutes. Great job!!! Thank you...
Cool. it helps to know what you're in for huh? Jeep On!
One hell of a video...thanks so much for making it! This truly made it easy for me to reference and replace my son's brake cylinder. Kudos CARSSUCK!
Glad it helped. Jeep On!
Thanks brother. Watched your video and just replaced my own rear passenger side cylinder. It was pretty easy after watching you do it.
Bob Toon Very cool. I wish I had my brake pliers then. It makes it so much easier. Wrench On!
Same here, I watched your vid and replaced my drivers side rear and the brake line... all is good and saved me a trip to the garage plus $$$! Thanks
Very cool. Jeep On!
this is the best guy doing a video out there. straight to the point
this is my sons account btw clearly crazy boy gamer isn't changing brake cylinders
Jeep On!
my rear passenger cylinder just went on my 2001 TJ yesterday...great vid! very helpful!
Your steps were great and very easy to follow! Now my Jeep stops when it's supposed to :) Thanks!
lostrevinos Jeep On!
That was a very god video! I'm going to go do it now!
It's a very informative, easy to understand, clean video.
PLEASE MAKE MORE!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time.
Will do, Just finished my wall hangers for the doors and soft top components. Will try to get that filmed next week.
Thank you so much. This safe us alot of temper tantrums and a lot of time. keep on making your films.
Thanks mate. I'll be giving it a go soon
Jeep On!
clear and concise. Very good !
I made sure to round off the line fitting on my yj.
I did a great job.
So I'm buying another line.
This video is helpful.
Mine was just to caroded
To the line.
Yeah, nothing is forever. Jeep On!
Love the way u do your videos with the voice over lay!!!!
Great video. You simplified it do even an idiot like me can get the job done. Thanks
Good vid! You sound like Jeff goldblum
He does😅
nice video help me out alot my first time doing brake lines and stuff thanks
Damn should have watched this and saved myself $300.00 dollars. I'll know next time! Great video!!
Jeep On!
Great video. Well done. Thanks for the guidance.
Richard Parker Thanks. I just wish I had had my rear brake pliers then. They make working with those springs much easier.
Yeah, good point. One clue should have been some bubbling of the powdercoat on the inside of that wheel. Brake Fluid is corrosive, gear lube would not be. Other than that, I guess you could clean it all up then look for a leak sitting there, maybe while someone pumps the brakes.
I wonder if the hard line is just misaligning the nut. While your picking up the wheel cylinder, buy a new hard line nut too. You won't be able to put it on the line w/o a flare tool, but you can at least verify that the threads are good in the wheel cylinder.
And again your saving my ass. Thanks buddy I live the str8 forward videos w/out the bull shit
I wish I had the time to make more. Maybe this winter. Jeep On!
Line wrenches and penetrating oil. This stuff is usually rusted tight.
Alright boss I'm going in, wish me luck!!
You got this. Jeep On!
Keep up the good work and keep more Jeep vids coming!!!
Yeah, It depends on who you ask. I don't see much reason to add DOT 5 to DOT 3 unless that is all you have. The benefits would only really occur with replacement, not a mixture. I know I like 5 in my motorcycles because 5 is not corrosive to paint like 3/4.
Thanks for the video, time to hit the garage!
ballpython727 Cool. Go get it.
Where are you located? I’m in NYC and my driver rear wheel has this exact problem. $10 for a part and giving an assist to someone who knows what they’re doing would be so much better. Your video is very clear, i just don’t trust myself to take my Wrangler apart. It’s a 97. This part went kablooie today while driving. Lost the whole bottle of brake fluid i bought.
I'm in Illinois. Shoot. I love working on TJs.
@@user-nq5rd4ck5z Mines more ancient: Sport. 6 Cylinder. Guys love it.
Great video man.
Thanks. This is an older one, but I guess the information will always hold up. Jeep On!
Dude I greatly appreciate this. My 93 YJ has a leaker and this is so easy I am just going to do both.......have you changed to DOT 5? I have DOT 3 and have heard good things about 5....like you just add it in and it works fine with 3. HOWEVER NOT 5.1, IT DOES NOT MIX WITH DOT 3.
Thanks! Gonna do some research and get some #'s, gotta find a local hobby shop to do all this, doesn't look like I have all the tools here.
kev hutch Get some brake pliers too. Have since purchased them and they make drum brake work much easier.
Great video. Thank you
Thanks
Jeep On!
Great video! Thanks!
Yeah, I have to edit out too many mistakes to narrate as I go. ;)
Good video. I just replaced the rear pads on my 1995 Jimmy and I noticed there was lots of grease. I know you replaced the axle seals and then found out it was the wheel cylinders, so I'm wondering if you have a better idea now how to determine which is leaking. Thanks!
Thanks for this
Jeep On!
Hmmn. Could be, but I am not sure how. Have you had it apart? Sounds like it needs an inspection. Could make a good video.
Will the wheel cylinder make the whole drum and tire fall off
Apparently the parking brake mechanism was stuck, no more locking brakes..thanks!!
I barely press brake pedal and the rear right tire blocks. Bad drum? Thanks for the video
Great video,I'll be attempting this repair today after watching this I'm sure I can handle it, THANKS!!
Very cool. Jeep On!
Did you re-use the cylinder pins? Didnt see those put back in. Great video. Changing mine today. Thanks
Yes. Jeep On!
@@user-nq5rd4ck5z Thanks Bud.
@@user-nq5rd4ck5z Just finished. Hardest part was reconnecting the freakin hard brake line to the new wheel cylinder. Any tips for next time. I left the cylinder loose and still struggled. Grrrrrrrr. Thanks.
@NJ Hockey I don't know a special trick for that. Sometimes you just gotta hold your mouth right.
I got a 2010 Wrangler JK. I need to replace the speed sensor. I located it on the driver side of transmission unlike the Tcase where it would normally be situated. I got 2 couplings tandemly arrayed & they are awkward to get to. Do I unplug the one nearest the front or the back? I'm in Egypt & mechanics suck here. So I gotta fix it myself. Thx again.
great video thanks
Very good. Thanks. But for safety sake upon
I went to drive around town last night and my brakes basically stopped working. After I made it home, I noticed my rear tires had brake fluid all over them. Is that an issue similar to this? I have a 99 Sable
jeep on!
Right, and put on cut proof gloves. I do know better but for some reason I think all of my videos are sans personal protective equipment.
I did everything here, got the cylinder in. I'm having a heck of a time getting the brake line started back into the new cylinder. Any tips to get it started?
Loosen the bolts that hold the cylinder in or take them out completely to give you some wiggle room.
Thanks for the tip, because of the limited space in there I had to remove the shoes and springs to give me the room to put it in. There's no way that line was going in with the cylinder bolted in place. °lllll°
Thanks bud!!!!
So mine is a 2004 Rubicon. And rear driver side is showing fluid in the inside r, as well as a leaking down the inside of tire, what is it? It only has 51.000 original
Karen Witkowski The only fluid down there are brake and differential fluids. Take the wheel and brake drum off, clean it all with brake clean, dry it with compressed air, pump the brakes and see if you can spot the brake fluid leak. If it is not brake fluid, it is diff fluid and you need an axle seal. See that video. It is probably brake cylinder.
I replaced mine. and went to bleed them and brake fluid seems to be pouring out from new wheel cylinder haven't had a chance to take apart to look but are you supposed to put the old rods or pistons w.e there called in the new one? other then that I have no clue why it would be leaking
No. Nothing internal. It sounds like you got a bad one.
+wwwCARSSUCKcom well that sucks but thank you for the fast reply . I'll take back out
thanks man!! 👍
Jeep On!
evel pinball machine cool
Yeah, I sold that to a friend, but it was fun while I had it.
Very good but for safety sake remove your ring. My two cents.
Could be. Or could be a brake line. You said tires plural. That would be a big coincidence that both sides leaked at the same time.
Good job! thank you very much!!! =)
Speaking of idiots. I thought the leak was my axle seal. Changed it (see other video) then noticed it was the brake cylinder all along. Also, a lot of mistakes can be deleted during editing. Jeep On!
Is the same job similar on a 78 CJ5?
JC Born It's basically the same on any drum brake. Maybe different sized wrenches.
Hah! $240. I spent $10 and could do it in 20 minutes. Now, if you replaced the shoes, had to buy a line wrench and counted what I spent on brake clean and rags you might get to $40. I would suggest buying a drum brake tool also. Have since bought one and it makes dealing with the springs much easier.
I get what they are doing. They can't half-ass anything due to liability. But, don't be scared. You can handle this? (I mean ! or .)
Great video :D im trying to find out what drums i need for my wrangler and i tried removing the back tires off and the seem like they are "Locked" i took out the 5 lug nuts off and it still doesn't budge, any hints on wot what else to remove??
That is all you have to take off for the wheel to come off. It is probably tight on the center index. Kick the tire back and forth way to the outside for the most leverage. If the wheel is tight, wait until you get to the drum.
Great thanks. I hit it a couple of times with a sledgehammer and it popped out :)
Ill be replacing my wheel cylinder along with my drums and shoes. I havent check out.mpre of.your vids yet, but I will see if you have something on that. It would be helpful :)
zion lopez That's a negatory on a drums and shoes vid. I would like to do one, just haven't had the chance. Eric The Car Guy and Bleepin Jeep have both covered the subject. They both make nice videos. One piece of advice; I wish I had bought a set of brake pliers 25 years sooner. 2nd advice; buy the hardware kit with the shoes. They are like $3 and and you get all of the springs and clips and such.
