Thank you for making working on my YJ idiot-proof! I’m learning as I go and you’ve been an excellent resource. I appreciate you adding all the extra ‘obvious’ steps, not everyone knows them.

[@Poweraddicts]

You are welcome! Glad the videos help you! Thanks for taking the time to drop in a great comment!

[@jakepiotrowski6459]

I’m new to the Jeep community and my brakes went out recently. After watching these videos I’m confident to change out all my rotors and brake pads as well as flush my brake lines and bleed my brakes. Thank you!

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

Thank you for an outstanding video. This helped me very much to accomplish my replacement of front brakes on my 1993 YJ. You Rock Sir!

[@ihan_perus]

Just did the rear brakes on my ´89 YJ last week. Now that they work properly, I noticed I'll need to do the front too. This video is perfect for a first timer like myself to demystify the works of the front disk brakes.
Thank you again for a great tutorial!

[@Poweraddicts]

Glad the video helps!!

[@ScottyOrange]

I'm halfway through this. Thanks for the help! I think mine were replaced by someone...not 10mm but 1/2inch. '95 Rio Grande Wrangler.

[@vincentidf2259]

Très bonne vidéo, merci (depuis la France)

[@generaljackson649]

I put a small amount of antseize on my brake pad sliding areas so that the pads can move more easy on the knuckle as they wear down.

[@Poweraddicts]

Good tip!!

[@spider_hoss]

It's a great video. one thing I got hung up on are the caliper bolts. The heads on my Jeep appear to be hex heads.

[@Poweraddicts]

That not uncommon. Either someone replaced the bolts or someone replaced the calipers at some time and the bolts came with the caliper. Also, Jeep had been known to change hardware mid year. But whatever the reason hex head bolts work just fine as well.

Long time subscriber first time commenting. Love what you do great content. Wish i would've documented my 89 YJ 4.2l ba10 to 4.0l HO ax15 conversion kept it carb demon 625cfm 4bbl. GM style HEI. Wired in electronic QFT 105 fuel pump. And an external voltage regulator

[@Poweraddicts]

THAT would have been a great bunch of videos!! I've got some really cool engine stuff planned. Just can't tell what it is at this time!! Thanks for hanging out on the channel!!

[@BTBLive]

My pads came with a bag of metal clips. Not needed? Thanks for the video.

[@Poweraddicts]

Yes, they keep the pads from shifting around. You are welcome!

[@chrislevario8650]

Hey brother I love you content and everything. Recently brought a 94 Jeep wrangler did everything in the video like you said but I can still hear the scraping noise what do you think it can be ? Btw I replace brakes and rotors on mine

[@afjeep3325]

I just started following you, excellent videos!

[@Poweraddicts]

Thanks for subscribing! Glad you like the videos!

[@dstromboli7945]

Thanks. Changed front brakes/ rotors on my YJ but getting excessive amount of dust on my wheels. It also smells like burning brakes. Think the calipers are stuck? Also an amount of resistance where it doesn't roll. thx again!

[@Poweraddicts]

My thoughts are ... if you suspect faulty calipers. Change them now instead of causing a headache later. Change the rubber brake lines as well, they are known for coming apart on the inside and causing issues.

[@victorsanchezvazquez5941]

Tengo uno 1992 me convienen todos los bidio gracia

[@az_dylan_tricks3518]

What would be the easiest 8.8 swap for my YJ? Hoping to find good gears already in there for my 33s or 35s like 4.10 or 4.56. Thank you and is bolt on or do I need to weld?

[@Poweraddicts]

Get an 8.8 from an 1995 and up Explorer. Yep, there will be welding involved.

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

I thought you were going to replace the rubber hoses for the brake line

[@Poweraddicts]

Thats the next video to be released. Coming this Sunday! Thanks for watching!

[@chrisperry5652]

I always use an old wire hanger instead of string...

[@Poweraddicts]

I've done that also. It works!

[@tatchik77]

Can i use the can of spray white lithium grease?

[@Poweraddicts]

Yep, sure can 👍

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

Is Dot 4 brake fluid better than the. 3 should I bother using. For or just stick with 3

[@seamusb.8933]

Either works fine. 4 is higher temperature for track driving and heavy braking. 3 is cheaper and works well also

[@Poweraddicts]

Dot 4 is more high temp. Dot 3 will still work fine.

[@madebypapa3795]

👍👍👍 sub for you

[@Poweraddicts]

Thank you very much!!! Glad you enjoy the vids enough to subscribe!! Have a great day!
