    Doing my 2016 currently. I used the brake tool and just spun it in. No need for the backer plate. It just spins in by hand extremely easy.

    I just did this job and you CAN actually put the caliper on while the bracket is already installed!

    Came here to see you remove the godforsaken EPB motor that refuses to disengage for me and has thrown a fault on my instrument panel. I really appreciate you recording your handiwork!

    You can full disengage the system in the system in the car on the screen. Go to brakes and disengage

    • @bennieaust
      @bennieaust  2 місяці тому +1

      You can, and to be fair I haven't ever had an issue with the Jeep system. I have had issues with a fair number of these systems on other cars. This is the most failsafe way of doing this if anybody runs into trouble. If not, then the factory service mod will be just fine.

  • @aronjohn84
    @aronjohn84 2 місяці тому +2

    More reliable then simply go into the system..brakes..disengage. it literally does it for you

    5MM Hex for Rotor removal

    10mm & 17mm wrench for caliper bolts
    T45 for the safe mode release of caliper piston

    Couldn't you just put the brake in service brake mode in the system first?

    • @bennieaust
      @bennieaust  Місяць тому

      Yes, I talk about my reasoning a bit in the video, but I have encountered a few issues (not specifically on this Jeep model) and that’s why I am showing this method.

  • @countryrapper2000

    There is a brake service button on the radio settings. Don't take apart

    • @bennieaust

      Yes, the jeeps have a pretty easy to use service mode. I still do it this way. :)

    You don't file the pad down unless you already removed the clips and removed the rust from the caliper bracket.
    On rare occasions will a pad backing plate be stamped too big to need correction.

    • @bennieaust
      @bennieaust  8 місяців тому

      Thanks for the great advice Brian!
      I’d caution anyone to be careful if they don’t have all new hardware (like in this case). It doesn’t always make it out in one piece, or the correct shape.
      I come across a lot of situations here in MN where corrosion has become an issue with tight tolerances between pads and caliper brackets. I do my best to best to make sure the pads easily move in the brackets.

    never hang your caliper dangle off the brake line like that, all it takes is a small tear and leak and boom no brake pressure. Brake line is not meant to carry weight like that

    Next time just put your Jeep in rear brake service mode through system options

    • @bennieaust
      @bennieaust  27 днів тому

      Jeep does have a pretty DIY friendly system, but if you have seen the number of times I’ve seen a DIYer screw up a caliper because they didn’t know what they were doing, or because something glitched with the service mode, then you’d understand why I made this video.
      Thanks for watching!

    So confusing why not put it into service mode inside the vehicle and then disconnect the battery?

    • @bennieaust
      @bennieaust  7 місяців тому +1

      This job isn't for everybody. I wouldn't encourage you to do brake work if you have doubts about it.
      This is my preferred method based on a lot of real world experience many different models of cars.
      In the case of this Jeep, service mode is very accessible in the menu, but I have encountered many situations that for whatever reason vehicle did not go into service mode, scan tools didn't active service mode, or people doing DIY brake jobs did something wrong, accidentally exited service mode, over extended calipers and had to replace them. All of those situations are why I made this video showing a very reliable, easy, low-tech way to get it done.
      Thanks for watching!
