I am buy no means a mechanic but I have done my front breaks and rotors 4 times on 2 different jeep liberties and about a dozen on cars with friends. I seen something in this video that was left out and I'm hoping someone can educate me on this but I was under the assumption that you have to go under the hood and remove the cap on the break fluid reservoir so that when you compress the calibers, there isnt a build up of pressure that could damage the lines or force the calipers back after force is applied? I hope this makes sense that I'm curious if it doesnt matter if that cap is removed or not? I always take the cap off but this video didnt, so is it necessary?
Awesome demo. No way I’m doing that. I’ll pay someone hahahaha. Way more involved than I thought and although I know I could do it I don’t have all the right tools and sprays etc. nice video though dude
You didn’t have to take both bolts off. Top screw out an drop the caliber down. Sea clamp the caliber to push the piston back and add your pads. Took me 20 minutes to do these brakes
Does anyone else notice these Jeep liberty's are a pile of rust? Oil pan rusted out at 57,000, transmission pan rusted out 62,000 along with muffler and pipes rusted off at 70,000, now the brakes are a pile of rust. Much more too.
he must have removed the cap from the brake fluid in order to get the piston to contract so easily. Normally i use a c-clamp with a small piece of wood for level force if needed. His screw driver hack, and ultrafine lubing and sanding, that’s all excessive

This is so helpful. I love how he says specific measurements for each bolt and nut
Excellent. Good emphasis on cleaning old parts. Rarely see this focus which is so important.

Excellent video and great level of expertise on your part. Thanks
A lot of steps I often miss or forget. Ty

I always take the reservoir cap off. Not sure where I heard it from/read about it, but I have always thought it was the done thing.

Perfect tutorial. I just changed my brakes like this. So easy with this video. Your help me alot. Thanks
Should you “bed” drilled and slotted rotors ?
Great video! Well made and informative.
just saved me $500 from watching this video
Great video
This is the way to do it!!!!! Thank You!!
Hi is this the same for 2011 jeep liberty limited 4×4?
I would say it is
Good vid !!!
So my master cylinder is leaking brake fluid when I compressed the pistons. Did I miss a step? Why am I leaking brake fluid?
If your master cylinder was full when you compressed the piston it will overflow

Haha always faster when u got the tricks n magic
ok let's think about this lol
@rj jr lmao I didn't need rotors I changed my brakes before they hit medal to medal smart guy 😂😂
No need to bleed system??
Do i need to open the bleeder valve while compressing the piston??
No sir
If you want firm pressure and no air in your brake line I would bleed the caliber
yes by all means. bleed her
Muito bom aula
Nobody said anything about that vehicle has two slightly different size brake rotors and I would imagine pads size.
