2 years later and still the best video out here for this vehicle!
You do a great job showing people that you can do a lot of your own repair using some simple tools and some ambition.
Nice job!
When im tackling a job ive never done before i like to watch 3 or 4 videos for different Perspective your video was the best in my opinion
Easily one of the best instructional channels I have seen! Your care in getting the camera angle so we can see what you are doing and see how to manipulate difficult to get to parts is something I greatly appreciate and sets you apart from other channels. But it's your clear and concise verbal additions that make it the best. I'm never left trying to interpret or wondering to myself what you meant, it's truly unique in this type of channel. I am a fan and I suspect a lot of thought and work goes into a short video like this, thank you Sir!
Thank you for watching
Your instructions are excellent! Keeping extra non-essential hatter to a minimum. Crisp and clear instructions. Thank you
Once again your video made an intimidating job seem easy. I’m trying to dial in my parking now (I’m typing this as I’m taking a break from the job) but hey, no more squeaks! THANK YOU!
Hey BG I replaced my rear brakes on my ZJ today and the parking brake based on your video and you helped me a lot. I really appreciate it thanks a lot
You have the best ZJ videos available. Great Job!
Video is 2 years old, but still VERY helpful. You actually make it dummy proof; even showing steps you could do so if you need to do it, you've covered it. Sub'd for shear enjoyment if a fellow enthusiast making it easy for anyone that wants to do it themselves. Thank you!
Awesome video man, thanks! I am about to do this job my self on my 97' Grand Cherokee.
perfect, I did my front rotors/ pads/ calipers a few weeks ago and will do rears soon. Like your vids. Jeep 5.9
Barricade the jam is fire in back ground iam a dj n I follow your channel Keep up the great vids AMen🤲🤟👑🤡😭👽🎯💥🎩
It seems like you always have a video for what I need to get done on my Jeep. I'm going to have to contact you before I get a new vehicle just to make sure you can buy one of the same vehicle and finish the repair videos before anything goes wrong with mine.
Lol
Hey chief, I am a big fan of your videos and am getting ready to tackle this project have you replaced the Lug studs? I am looking at tackling that while I'm in here.
Another well made vid, thanks man
Great video. I'm on this project.
I need to do this. I bought a 95 Grand Cherokee and when I pulled the parking brake lever it just came up with no resistance. When I got around to checking the brakes I was shocked to discover there weren't any! It had new rear disc brakes but when I pulled the rotor/drum off there was NOTHING inside. Not a spring, Not a stud. Nothing! :-O
Sara Brown sheesh! lets try to get that done sooner rather than later
Great video- got a few real good tips
Dope music in back ground my Gee
Really like those Federal country MTX
Makes it look so easy
Great vid as always. My son and I just attempted this but we are stuck at the reinstallation. Cap is off but we cannot compress the piston. I even tried opening the bleed valve with no luck. Any ideas?
Sorry for the late response but it should compress no problem without opening the bleed valve. The caliper piston may be locked up in which case you might have to replace it if the piston wont push back in.
Hey B.G 👋 when you mean rotor are machine directionally , are all 4 rotor suppose to be angled the same on yours maybe it was just bad angle and couldn't tell when you were switching on which ever sure you were working on during the vid..
I notice the double sided notch on the pad is at the top and the single notch goes on the bottom here. Is that what I'm seeing?
Yeah thats how I do mine
Your video’s have helped a lot, thanks bro! Do you have a video on the rear axle bearings?✌️
Great vid. Loving all ZJ vids from you. Got same rims can you tell me the measures for the silver rim cap? Thanks so much 🙏
Great video. Thank you
Great video and brake job!
my go to how to :)
Another great jeep video. Niceeee
Got it !!!!! Thank you cuz !
perfect job !
Great video, where did you order the rotors and pads. That’s a good deal. Thanks
Make a video about a review on your lift kit
I always had trouble keeping my parking brake mechanical actuator levers from seizing with rust no matter what lubricant I used ... until I tried Permatex ultra ceramic brake lubricant (purple).
Those levers are located where the end of the cable is connected to a hook shape.
Have you ever noticed this issue on your 96 ZJ (mine was a 98 ZJ 4.0 Laredo)?
ManicMechanic007 no I have 3 ZJs and never had that problem. I also live in the D.C area so rust really isnt an issue. I also try to remember to use my parking brake often to keep the parts from siezing up so thing like that dont happen
Doing my p brake today. Had to get a new cable and figured how to get out. Now, once get clips and springs on can I adj the screw and set the rotor on and pre set the tension to get it close? If I screw it a bit, put on rotor to see if any resistance right away then set brake so I know it is pretty close then finish with final tension on the screw after I get tire on? I remember the e brake test for the zhummer, in the Army, was to set brake and put in drive. If brake holds it is properly set.
Jack'll Fix It when i was finished I first tested by using just the rotor by setting the parking brake and turning the rotor by hand. It wouldn't budge so I put the wheels back on and was able to spin the tire with the parking brake engaged.
I adjusted the starwheel tighter, and and tried again and I was not able to spin the tire anymore.
I then put it on the ground and set the parking brake with the vehichle in drive and my Jeep started inching forward and I could smell brakes.
so I backed the brake shoes off a little just enough so I couldnt spin the tire by hand, set the parking then put the Jeep in neutral facing down hill and it wouldnt move... which was good enough for me.
It didnt matter how tight I adjusted the starwheel to press the shoes against the inside of the rotor, my Jeep would still pull forward💪..
maybe its the 4×4 or perfectly maintained 5.2 engine and trans. or maybe its the aftermarket rotors I used, my jeep would pull with the parking brake set and transmission in drive. so I check mine on an incline/decline with the parking brake set and transmission in neutral.
Its functional and It was good enough to pass inspection!
@@barricadegarage5361 well, once went thru a nut roll finding a wheel stud to fit I spent forever trying to get those 2 clips with pins. On WJ shoes there is an indent right where the clip goes PITA! I said screw it and compressed the clips. I was pjshing with all I had and those buggers would not squeeze down for pin. Definitly need 3 or 4 hands. Spring, well, said screw it and used the old one the new one wasnt stretching. Curved needle vice grip would have helped. Then redid the other side because the adj wheele came off the shoes. Couple down turns on star and can go drive and reverse and wont move. There is a lot of torque so possibly could roll with brake on going from park to reverse but it does work now. Had to fix, never needed a p brake but TX law, 1995 states cars left unattended must have p brake on.
Jack'll Fix It It may have been a pain, but at the end of the day it feels good knowing you got the Job done!
What's the part no. From rock auto
I'm a little confused. In your vid you show rear brakes being done but once you put the rear shoes and pads on you put a rotor over that. I have drums which go over my rear shoes on a 94 zj. Can I use slotted rotors like you on the back, or am I stuck using drums which look awful.
My '96 has disc brakes all around. It sounds like you have rear drum brakes and that means either you or the previous owner switched the axle because all ZJs came from the factory with 4wheel disc brakes
@@barricadegarage5361 That my friend is a mystery that will remain unsolved. I bought it used in 96 from a used car dealer so who knows. But thanks for getting back to me. I'm confident in disc brakes, did em on my Nav. But drums, Imma have to think that over. Lot of pieces in that puzzle.
Is it worth it to change the axle to accept disc brakes though?
Question
Can it be that my emergency brake is bad since I cant push my keep when it’s in neutral seems like the rear wheels are locked up
Or your diff is locked up, your going to have to remove the rear wheel, brakes & rotor and take a look
Angel F : I had a problem last winter where my jeep would go forward but not reverse total lockup. Someone on a forum said to check the ebrake shoes. So you might have a lot of rust like I did. And shout out to Barricade Garage for posting this video.
Wanted to add something here, really good preventative maintenance, if you replace your ebrake shoes, also take out the cam/lever. This webpage shows a full tutorial along with pictures. www.jeepslimited.com/index.php/write-ups/drivetrain/e-brake-cam-lever-replacement-zj
The cam/lever are what push the ebrake shoes out to the rotor/drum when you pull the ebrake. The cam/lever like to seize together with rust and it causes issues. My ebrake shoes were CONSISTENTLY applied even when my ebrake lever was down which caused me not to be able to reverse. So check them and clean them up. 5 minutes extra when doing the shoes will save a HUGE headache
Hey brother. My left rear parking brake actuator is seized. I can’t seem to figure out how to free it. Any suggestions? No wonder this parking brake has been jacked up since I bought the vehicle. It’s the metal piece that’s supposed to move freely. Where the cable it attached. Thanks
Sorry im reading this late, did you get it taken care of?
I did thanks. The actuator was seized, but I was finally able to break it free. Cleaned it up with a wire brush and put some anti seize in it
Great !!
Hey, thanks! Two questions, why the rubber luggage strap, were you holding together the spring, or something else behind? And second, don't you need a special tool to push in the piston somehow?
inteillaalls I have the special tools for the job but it was alot easier doing this with the regular tools you see in the video. and what rubber strap are you talking about?
@@barricadegarage5361 I mean the one you nestled into the spring. Just curious why.
inteillaalls 0:37 I was using the bungee cord to hang the caliper out of the way
Got it! Thanks.
Your videos are really helpful. Got a -94 ZJ. Do you think it’s possible to grease up the slider pins without removing the wheel?
Hey man can you give me a definite answer on how those spring clips on the outer rear pads are supposed to go. I've see them at the top and at the bottom on other videos. I don't have a manual so I would like to be sure. Thanks.
I would put them in the way I have them oriented in the video.
What spring clips are you talking about
@@barricadegarage5361 The outer pads have a spring that sets against the caliper bracket. Some videos show them on the top and other have them like you do at the bottom. Just wanted to know what was the correct way from the manufactor.
@@gav3379 give me the time stamp in the video
It doesnt matter which direction as long as it fits. I have no issues with mine so the must be on right
What size tires are those and what is your lift hight?
3.5" lift & 31's
Does yours sway/wonder when going 55+? Great informative and easy to follow videos!
@@xavierb8545 it used to sway and wonder all over the lane until I replaced my steering gear box..

👍👍👍👍
what brand are the rotors?
Christian Sulak AtlAutosports
@@barricadegarage5361 thanks! Cant find any reasonably priced complete sets .
Christian Sulak I found these for $160 on ebay. complete set with pads.
I think your rotors are on backwards
Trust me they are on the correct way
Nevermind after more searching I found this ua-cam.com/video/70cB-plCF-g/v-deo.html. I definitely have drums. Thanks though. Just hit my zj back on the road so I'll be checking out your vids as tutorials.
Great video! Nice work.
Thanks
