More WJ Content coming very soon!
Hey man you installed your lower front control arms backwards
The side with the holes are for the inside side holes are not supposed to show on the outside
This is video is what the WJ community needs. The caliper saga plagues so many of us. Been dealing with it a long time and the death wobble due to caliper/rotor issue is VERY REAL!
Best thing to do is Ditch the teves. Thanks for watching.. forward this vid to everyone! lol
Thanks for this video Dan, I'm doing this upgrade on my 2000. Definitely sick of changing warped rotors every year. Ill be saving money by doing this lol
Good job. 2 tips for you sir.
1st. Remove the caliper from the bracket and hang the caliper up out of the way. Do not open the hydraulic system at this time.
Next, assemble all the new parts 100%
Lastly remove the old banjo bolt from the old caliper and swap the line and new bolt/crush washers onto the new caliper.
2nd tip would be to NEVER prefill a brake caliper.
The only possible outcome is using more fluid than you need to complete the job and likely make a mess in the process.
The only thing that needs to be prefilled, and then "bench bled" before install is the master cylinder.
Thanks Randy!
@@ProjectDanH anytime.🍻
I completed this upgrade last year on my 00 WJ 4.0 2WD - It only took a few hours of my time and a few hundred bucks to know that I have many years of much better braking in the future.
Cool upgrade Dan !!
Thank you sir!
Heck yes, another gem of a posting. I've one of each. It was hit or miss, had I known the aki were superior I'd have not exchanged them.
thanks man, Get em Done!
@@ProjectDanH you bet, thank you sincerely for your unbridled, noteworthy projects. The in-depth level of of your projects is deep. Have you considered upgrading your engine? I mean for HP gains?
@@ProjectDanH just pointing out, the 4.7 is ripe for mods. Your participation and skill level is approaching if not equal to Martin built, another WJ aficionado. It's a hard motor to work on alas it is glazed over, if I could do it over again I'd have bought a spare engine, put it. On a stand and start building.
Thank you very much for this, will do the same job! 👍
A good cordless torque wrench makes every job much more pleasurable.
Sup Dan. Looks like I've got to replace the passenger front caliper bracket on my 2000 WJ. The bottom slide pin is stuuuuuuck, it will not budge at all. Akebono style so its the 17mm bolt and not the hex. Probably gonna find a gently used one at the yard if I can find one that has both slides moving freely.
Nice job Dan.I wish it was a scorcher here today,windy with a high of 38 degrees....
What's worse, scorchers, or frozen tundra?? lol
Great job Dan…..I been following your videos on the wj ….keep up the great repairs….I have a 99 Lgc 4.7….just did front n rear upper n lower control arms as per your videos…..u explain well….did brakes front n rear….How about a video on replacing rear gas filter on the green hornet 😊
Hey Dan, another great video. Small correction, water does not compress, if water is in the brake fluid it lowers the boiling point of the fluid.
For each atmosphere increase in pressure, the volume of water decreases 46.4 parts per million.
Thanks. Dan the Man. very helpful info. 99 GC w og teves
Definitely doing this soon to my wj bought my 99 over a year ago previous owner put new front breaks on and almost 10,000 miles later they’re starting to shake the front.
Oh man, its a Must!
Need to upgrade my 2002 jeep grand cherokee LTD 4.0 and I was wondering if these AKBONO come with the rust-proof coating?
I am planning to do this upgrade on my '01 WJ. I am leaning toward getting a Wilwood Front/Rear kit. My only hang up with pulling the trigger on purchasing is that the calipers are red. They are not going to look good with my Sienna Pearl paint. Does anyone have any positive experience with repainting calipers?
No brake shoe wires like the old ones?
i had converted to akebono and installed slotted rotors. they dispence heat to avoid early warping i'm told
Exactly!
If this video is over a year old, how have the rotors held up? I know when I did my brakes on my wj I have the crappy teves calipers and my rotors were warped in only about 10k miles but at the same time I bought everything on close out sale on rock out and got front and rear pads/rotors for $160 and the pads were ceramic too
I haven't put many miles on them but they have held up well so far without problems
Water doesn't compress but as the brake fluid get contaminated with moisture and contaminates it will cause internal damage and effect rubber seals and components.
So in theory. What if a teves as put on to a 03 wj?
So i guess I missed it but are the 99-02 rotors the same as 03-04? Also thanks for another great video sir.
Yes he said all WJ models have the same front rotors. The rear rotors are different than fronts because they are drum + disks with internal parking brake shoes but they are the same on 99-04.
Where did you prime the brake caliper with brake fluid?
I usually fill it on the work bench, top it off right before I attach the banjo bolt, then open the bleeder and let gravity take over.. once it drips for a min I close the bleeder until I bleed the whole system
Hi, is the conversion to akebono possible on a ZJ?
Sure, if you swap the whole axle or do a WJ knuckle swap.
Does the rear akebono calipers look like the teves caliper???????
I've researched this question and have found that there are no upgraded Akebono style rear calipers available. I can only assume its due to the rear's containin only one piston and that the fronts handle 60-70% of the breaking.
You have the front lower control arms with the bow to the outside.
LOL.. Yep that was addressed 14 months ago 🤣
Hey I have a 2004 jeep wj, I think the front ball joints are shot, they're clicking, do you have a brand that you would recommend?
Spicer 707488X
Spicer or moog
What ever happened to the Beach Jeep?
Need some more welding.. Thanks for asking!
The spring is a bitch to put on can't find. Anything about putting that on
What a wonderful wife bringing you drink
Yes! She's the reason this whole RUclips channel still exists 😁
PEOPLE..... CLEAN PLEASE THE HUB RUST! THAN THANKS ME LATER 😂
