How to Replace Brake Pads and Rotors - Jeep
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- In this video I will show you how to replace disk brake pads and rotors in your Jeeps front axle. This process is very similar to other vehicle models but today I will show you how to do it on a Jeep Cherokee XJ with a Dana 30 Axle. This process may be similar on other Jeep models such as the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Comanche. I will show you how to do the whole job from start to finish. If you have any other questions that the video doesn't cover make sure to comment below and I would be happy to answer.

Been working on my xj for over 20 years but still watch something the day before just to brush up. Great job kiddo.
Hands down probably the most thorough and diligent XJ youtuber out there. Keep the good stuff coming man!
Absolutely agree!
I watch this video every time I mess with my brakes. Great tutorial!
Very good tip at the end about pumping the brakes several times before taking off. My friend ran a Brake and Muffler shop and about once a week one of the Mechanics would forget to pump brakes before putting it in reverse and backing off the Lift. The look on their face when they realize they forgot and their eyes bug out as the mash the brake pedal and the car keeps going backwards towards the dumpster or another customers car.
The abutment clips or "shims" should be installed at the leading edge or TOP of the pads. When you are braking with the vehicle going forwards, which is most of the time, the top of the pad will strike the upper mounting ledge and create wear (gouges). The stainless steel clip serves as protection and a lower friction interface to facilitate lateral sliding of the pads as needed during braking.
You know I've been searching for those end caps,so I looked at videos of people replacing pads on front jeep disc brakes ,to get a good visual cause I'm resto moding a jeep yJ ,and not a single one on you tube has used them!!!odd people dont
Much better and more helpful then the other videos I watched trying to explain the same exact thing. Thank you.
Will be doing brake pads and rotors on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and needed a review, Can't go wrong with AC Delco brake pads, the generics don't last very long.Thanks for posting your excellent video.
You've got the best how-to videos out there!
Great video. Greetings from Slovenia 😎
Very thorough and comprehensive explanation! Great video!
Great video! Have my pads and rotors ordered for my 2000 xj.
Extremely well done how to video.
Thanks for the video I am glad no special sockets needed. Best wishes from France.
Thank you so much for the very helpful video
nice job and like the way you talked us thru it
Muy buena explicación te felicito 👍
Great video Sir, greetings from Scotland.
Nice job Austin.A lot of people think AC Delco only makes parts for General Motors.
Yep just put a Ac delco starter on Plymouth Voyager van.
… Them A C Delco after market parts are “made in china” now…!!! 🤔🫣
That’s a very clear video again. Thanks a lot. Please keep making good vids, that’s very helpful. 👍👍👍🇫🇷
Ayee, we have the same Jeep! Great video, thank you!
Thank you for the upload
Nicely done, enjoyed the vid.
Great video man
Great video. I have the same rust hole in my passenger's door too.
You should make a "how to make a how to" video. Good stuff!
Always ....Great Job !!!!
mine seized up on me ....started smokin...lol . Got new rotors , calipers and pads .....thinkin it needed new ones ....old ones were pretty shot !!!!
Sounds like the caliper seized up
thanks,
Simple job, nicely done. :-) Are those shims to counter act the known knuckle wearing problem prone to XJ/TJs of that model yr group? I know my D30 on my XJ has a divet worn into them on the inside of the tracks.
Yup exactly! It's a pretty cool invention I haven't seen other brands use, though some use even bigger shims that dont work as good as these.
@@OutJeeping That is pretty cool. Have to take look at those next time I change my brakes.
Perfect timing because I noticed those grooves on my XJ knuckles while doing some suspension work. Reading up on it some guys with a mig welder fill them in and grind back to flat. I don't have the equipment or skill. Dorman and Centric have a disc hardware kit that includes a set of shims much like shown in this video.
Hey man, Is there anyway you could explain to a beginner where the front axle is? i tried to jack up my church by the frame rail and the tire wouldn’t leave the ground. Thought the truck was going to tip over lol
Awesome video quick question: where did you get the information in regards to what clips to use on the brake pads for the clearance?
In the brake pad kit it came with all the shims and instructions on what to use for your application.
My '78 Gremlin had a seized caliper piston due to pitting. One of the left caliper pads wore out prematurely. OTOH my '88 Jeep Cherokee gets 250,000 to 300,000 miles on a set of brakes. It's mostly highway driving.
MY 94 CHEROKEE JUST PASSED 300,000 MILES AND I AM READYING MYSELF TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THE BRAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THE ENGINE IS REBUILT BUT NOTHING ELSE ON THE JEEP WAS REPLACED AS I JUST REPLACED THE ORIGINAL FUEL FILTER NOT LONG AGO. HI
@@jennifershentrich4039 Sadly, my Jeep is now on its deathbed after 1,073,751 miles. The injector pulses are not lining up with the ignition and it's not the crank sensor. I'm getting ready to sign the death certificate.
What does the term “bleeding the brakes” mean in this situation?
I'm new to this, so I have to ask. Where are you jacking up the Jeep? Is that the control arm?
Is your coil sitting on its perch completely?
Yup
How will you know when the piston is bottomed out?
You will feel it bottom out with the C clamp, you won't be able to tighten it anymore.
How do I get room in there for my pads how do I get the middle thing whatever it's called how do I get that to push back
@@ethanjohnson3045 Need to retract the piston at 9:10. I used a c-clamp to do mine.
Put new rotors calipers pads and drums shoes rear break cylinders and all new lines. When bleading the breaks my booster went. So put on a new master cylinder and power booster. My Cherokee with 33s will stop on a dime.
Yeah with everything all fresh and not were out the breaks are pretty decent. It's common though for the rear brakes to get out of adjustment and then it's mostly just the front brakes working.
@@OutJeeping don't forget to change your fluid every 2 years. You would be amazed at how well your breaks work with new fluid.
@@keithlea6804 Yeah I believe it, it gets dark with old stuff, moisture always finds a way to contaminate.
Watch this video to make sure I was putting my new brake pads in the right way. You put the notch down like I did on the 1st side but when I was taking off the 2nd side I realized whoever did the brakes last did it the opposite way. And that was done by a shop that put my lift kit on. I would think the notch is supposed to go down on the pads.
The notch should be faced down on both sides.
This was one of the BETTER Videos we have seen on This subject, Good Job.😎👍👌✅
Most of the one we’ve tried to watch are Laughable at the least if not downright ridiculous…!!! 🫣🤔 We have a hart time making it to 3 minutes on most.
first thing your supposed to do is list all the tools needed for the job
I only do that if the project calls for a specialty tool, a socket set and lug wrench is pretty straight forward for this
the C clamp also
