You need to spot weld the notch and then grind it down. I have to do the same thing on mine - my symptom is that occasionally on a strong brake press they will catch and I'll swerve to one side - fun! Changing my rotor, caliper, pads, brake fluid, and greasing the knuckle helped alot though
Not sure about the grinding. It will create an uneven rust point and catch again.
Had the exact same.issue years ago. Used JB weld , high temperature.
You sand it back flush. Worked perfectly, never had issues after.
Ideal is spot welding, but JB is fine if you are not setup for welding. Just wait 24 hours for full hardness before using.
I thought about that but figured it would be a desperate attempt that would not work, but now I see it worked for you. Great, I'll give it a try. Appreciate the post you made. Did you use the two part syringe or the putty stick ?
As a 60yr old mechanic, PUT ON YOUR KNEE PADS! Trust me
You should not grind anything, but should have spot welded the notch and grinder it down to its original specs
Yeah. Spot welding would probably have been better
One thing to add: Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that is absorbs water. That in itself will make brakes fade, grab, and stick! Change that fluid out, if it has been more than two years!!!
It also got VERY HOT, I would change it out.
I am not going to touch the rotor but clean the caliper on top of rotor 😂
Oh and that caliper was starting to seize. That issue will come back and you will need to rebuild or replace those calipers. Calipers should be replaced as a matched set. That's how I do it anyway. I'd be real careful adding grease in places where it can collect grit that can then wear out components. Fun times.
I'd take that rain off your hands. Going to be 100 degrees today here.
Haha! Yeah. A little rain is good 👍🏼
4x4Scout, I also do the same, change both calipers out, like you said " MATCHED SET ". GREAT ADVICE, SIR. If I change a wheel bearing on one side, BOTH SIDES GET NEW WHEEL BEARINGS, SAME WITH U-JOINTS OR BRAKE HOSE'S. It's a PITA BUT NOW I KNOW WHAT I HAVE NOT WAITING FOR OTHER SIDE TOO GO OUT. Keep the good parts for spares in case of an emergency on the trail.
Yep. You always change brake parts in pairs. Always
@@JeepSolid hehehe, well you should but when times were tight I have been known to do just one on my own rig.
Have same issue on my 98. Put on new calipers and replaced original flexible lines. Also tested brake fluid. It was on the high side for water content. Drained and replaced. I think when I replaced calipers 3 years ago I left the cap off the master for a few days which probably led to the high water content. Live in the Southeast so it is humid. Will see.
Hi Do you interested in getting more lighting upgrade for this Jeep? We got more stuff with great brightness looking for sponsoring this time!
could just be how it looked on camera but those pads look pretty glazed. might have got too hot.
May have. I didn’t drive too far after I smelled it
@@JeepSolid oh good. hope it doesn't give you any issues
Its a little drippy drippy today but that's not going to stop us......
2 moments later
I'm actually going to head inside, its starting to rain....lol I don't wanna get my gear wet.
Picks up days later because you didn't wanna work in the rain.😅
Same thing on my Jeep ...Its was the master cylinder...replace the Master and all was good....
Only curious, would spraying the caliper piston with brake cleaner help? I'm having the same issue with my 94 YJ and I took notes from your video. I will get the grease & do this Saturday. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic video my friend.
Greetings from Belgium.
Fantastic video my friend.
Greetings from Belgium.
A few weeks ago my brakes where literally smoking because of this northwestern heatwave.
Another great video. A little grinding won’t hurt. Can you do rear drum brakes?
Any input on why my parking brake light won't turn off
You should never have to add brake fluid. Low brake fluid simply means you have worn brakes. Adding fluid just causes problems later.
Yep. It’s a good idea to check it. Could have overflowed it by compressing caliper.
Great video but the music was a little to loud if you ask me.
I would have at least spun the wheel a few times & checked IF IT WAS BINDING. That caliper will eventually GO BYE BYE, HOW LONG ? Change both sides when it does, as 4x4 Scout suggested below, GREAT ADVICE THAT I LIVE BY. I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY WITH OWNING JEEP'S. I would also change the brake fluid out, it's probably burnt. I do mine every 3 years just as regular MAINT.
Oh, yes. Of course. Always change brake parts in sets
Just had this exact same issue today. Front passenger side brake dragging and heating everything up. Lost my dang hub-cap too. Thanks for the vid....it will help me out.
Dude me too like not even 5 mins ago
I also agree with the other comment: You never grind on anything that is a mechanical connection like that. File a bit maybe, but never grind!
Yeah. Spot welding may have been better, but it wasn’t the whole surface. Just the edge. So I think it’ll be fine. Spot weld next time. 👍🏼
What happened to the hardware, he didn't use the metal slides??
I don’t think a jeep yj has ever had clip on metal slides.
Just have top weld the groves and smooth it out
Thank you. I really like your videos ! Its been quite a while now but can you post an update on your fix ? Did you have to change the knuckle ? I have the exact same problem. And I am wondering what did the groove in the first time ? I would also fix that so it does not come back. Thanx !
Still working great. Didn't change the knuckle, although some viewers mentioned it would be a good idea to fill the gap worth weld, then grind it smooth. I'd probably do that next time.
@@JeepSolid thank you so much ! I think I'm gonna try soldering one and see how it goes ;) I really like the video series where you rebuilt the engine. Very informative !
Thanks
Hey Dale you had this problem before and thought you would fix this with a spot weld on the notch. Seems redundant to make a video of this and need to be corrected. Next time take a big screw driver with you and pull over and loosen the stuck caliper.
I’ve Had this problem before? When? Not sure what you’re referring to
You talking about when I live streamed it? That was same event. This is just edited video of that project
Sorry Dale my mistake.
