I've looked at a lot of brake videos for the Jeep Cherokee. Your video with the detailed shots has been one of the best. Thanks for posting.
Appreciate it & hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
Great job.! I just wanted to add ( for anyone interested ) that on my 2014 Jeep latitude 3.2; I needed to put the car in “service mode”. There’s a setting in the dashboard display for that. My calipers would not release until I figured that out. In other words, I wasn’t able to compress / retract the piston with the C clamp until it was put in break service mode.
Thanks! Yes that is for the rears which I have a separate video on. ruclips.net/video/ATTGAfA3he0/видео.htmlsi=5J1NdXzJLEbWYri7
Just confirming you’re referring to releasing the ebrake in the back. Which is not related to the front brakes in this video?
@@sbond1963 Correct!
I just finished this job. Video was very helpful, thanks! My old pads and rotors (2014 Trailhawk, 85k miles) were still the original parts, and only less than half worn! (More like 1/3 worn, new pad material measures 12mm, my old ones were still above 8 mm!) But... quite some brake vibrations, especially when braking from high speed e.g. going down a mountain road. All gone now, with Bosch rotors and ceramic pads. (But I suspect the new ones will not last almost 100k miles! Well-braking pads usually do not have crazy longevity. My old ML320 was on about its 4th set by 100k miles!)
Great same deal for me. I had pulsing but parts were still good. Hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
Excelente video. You explain very well.and your English is clear anderstand for those of us Who are in another country.Sorry for my mistake when writing.English is my second language. Thank !!!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video!
Thanks & hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
A very helpful video. Thank you very much
Thanks for watching & hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
About to do this... thanks for the heads up on the (special) sockets
Sure thanks for watching and hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
Can I rethread one of my routers on a jeep Cherokee latitude 2.4 2017
Nice nice video and thanks
Thanks for watching!
Did you put synthetic grease in the the sliding bolts?
Would you happen to know the size of the caliper pin head?
Nice video! Process for my 2017 trailhawk is pretty much the same! Except there is another different shaped spring clip for the bottom of the pad as well as the one you showed on the top!
Appreciate it! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. It helps, Thanks. Strange choice of torx bits on the front and rear of this thing. Just an excuse to buy more tools :)
Appreciate it! Glad it helped & hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
This was super helpful, thank you. I have a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk and was wondering if you have any input on driving it in Auto vs. Sport as well as Manual vs. Automatic. I've been getting mixed answers from everyone but you seem to know your Jeep pretty well!
Auto will give you best fuel econ. I use Sport if im on a curvy backroad. Manual not worth using.
I have used OE spec ATE parts. Disc part no 428191 pad set no 605689. The discs come with the rotor retaining screws(2 per disc) and the pads come with caliper guide clips , pad clips and spreader springs. The pads have anti-squeal pads ready bonded to them. Excellent OE quality not the cheapest , but I do not take any chances with brake parts.
Sounds good! Thanks for the part numbers!
I wish all the videos I need were as well done as this one!
Appreciate it & hope you check out more Jeep videos on the channel!
Great video thank you! Question I have a 17 Jeep 4x4 do you know if this would be the same process?
Thanks! It really should be the same.
Nice! I just did a similar job for a friend(posted video) I had to do all four wheel bearings it had 96k miles
Wow all 4 bearings? I had to have 1 replaced.
CarGuy11 Both fronts were real bad. One rear was bad the other seemed okay but at that point the owner just wanted it all done.
Great video, I've watched pretty much all of the videos pertaining to this subject and yours is by far the most helpful and detailed. I'm attempting to replace the front rotors and pads on my 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk and am having alot of issues with installing the new pads. For some reason the bottom of pad will slip right in however the top of the pad (with that spring clip installed) does NOT want to snap in. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Thanks!
Wow thanks for watching! There could be corrosion causing the clip not to seat in correctly. Make sure everything is clean and apply some of the grease.
My OEM front rotors warped big time -- sounded like a pod racer from Star Wars when you hit the brakes. I replaced the front brake pads and rotors this past September with the help of you guide. In the past month I've started to get some vibration in the steering wheel and a little in the brake pedal when braking ONLY at high speeds (e.g., getting off the interstate). Any advice? I hope I did not install wrong. Is it possible that the rear brakes/rotors could be causing this? They are still original (2015 KL with 70K miles)
Unfortunately the rotors could be warped again or pad material has deposited on on rotor. What rotors & pads did you go with? You can try to bed them in again to clean off rotor.
great video good detail, do you have one for the rear job?
Thanks I haven’t had to replace rear brakes yet.
I have done everything under the sun to these brakes and they still squeak. Maybe they need more time to brake in? They are also getting what feels like hotter than most cars I have worked on. I used element 3 brakes from raysbestos. Any thoughts would be super helpful.
I’ve only tried the Bosch pads. No noise.
What torque wrench you using?
I bought 4 Tekton torque wrenches last fall. They are amazing! If you ever need a different/another one, consider checking them out. I bought mine off ebay/amazon, but I think Lowes and Home Depot carry them as well.
The numbers are laser perfect, the adjustment is smooth, and the 'click' is beyond imagination.
I got to use 'the big one' last week to torque the wheels on the Stingray (got it aligned and front tires mounted on the rims. I take the wheels on/off the cars myself as I don't trust the shops around here). When we went to Black Hills I took it with along with a deep 3/4" impact socket so I could double check things while on our trip.
Compared to the $20 Harbor Freight's and the $150+ torques, these Tektons can't be beat!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Nice! Yeah I just have a cheap one.
@@CarGuy11 The Tekton's I got were all in the $40-60 range. Excellent value, I'm pretty impressed with'em
They make a specially coated rotor for the Northeast salt and magnesium.
Do the bracket bolts need to be replaced or can they be reused? I have read in some forums that the bolts need to be replaced if you remove the bracket to replace the rotor
It’s recommended yes.
Hello Carguy-11. Do you know who sells a BREMBO mounting bracket kit for this 2015 jeep?
I didn’t know one was available for it.
2017 jeep Cherokee trailhawk L plus. 37,000 miles. My left front tire went flat. When i took off the lug nuts, I still could not get the tire off. It looks like a bigger nut is in the center but I could be wrong. The tire won't budge. Wht am I doing wrong? Anybody?
The wheel welded itself to hub. Just forcefully pry it off.
Have you ever changed the anti-freeze yet on your Trailhawk? I'm looking for some tips, thankx.
Not yet because it’s 10yr/150k fluid although a lot of new coolant was added because of the oil cooler leak. ruclips.net/video/NmKjZ_htiI4/видео.html
@@CarGuy11 Thanks for the reply. I've seen a video where there is talk about opening up a vent and disconnecting a heating hose. I wonder why on a Trailhawk you couldn't just open up the petcock and simply dump the antifreeze.
do you add thread locker to the caliper bolts?
Well I bought new ones at dealer that have thread locker already. If you reuse old bolts you should add it.
Is that the first time you changed the brakes at 60,000. I live in Pittsburgh area and was wondering if that’s normal milage for JEEP brakes?
Yep & the pads still had life left it was the rotors that were wrapped & needed replaced.
My 2018 has 85k miles on it and my pads are over half left. Im only changing now cuz i have a slight vibration from rotors warping.
Hey I replaced front rotors still pulsing any ideas??
Hmm the rears may need replaced as well.
Carguy11, have you replaced your 2015 Trailhawk Jeep head lights due to dim standard original head lights? if you did do you have a video? 😊
Yes actually with LEDs. But these may have been replaced with newer models by now. ruclips.net/video/6XXej-SqWxo/видео.html
@@CarGuy11 I'm torn between LED or HID bulbs?
I hear HIDs give better results but you will have to modify the headlight housing so install is more complicated.
I’m surprised that your transmission hasn’t failed and is working perfectly, I have a 2016 Cherokee and it has failed me 2 times already and it keeps under 2,000revs
It’s getting replaced stay tuned! ruclips.net/video/aqfGX-nAhec/видео.html
CarGuy11 Woah didn’t know, has it been fixed? I’ve taken mines to the dealer more than 10 times and they don’t know. JUST TODAY, they announced that 64,000 Jeeps Cherokee’s will be recalled for the powertrain, transmission issues.. check it out!
@@BradleyCaban We've got a 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk. We bought it new and to date with over 50,000 miles no problems other than the rotors pulsated at about 30,000 miles and had to be turned. I'm getting ready to replace them and the front shoes.
Good to know, thanks for sharing this. My '15 is so far fine, but I'm discovering more and more things that the 'extended warranty' that I bought doesn't cover. Like brakes. Bumper to bumper my butt...
Thanks! Yeah unfortunately brakes are a wear item & not covered.
I want to cancel my warranty, but I anticipate push back from the dealership from what I've read. They have to get money back from the 2nd party warranty company, I've read.
Best to keep it incase of this. ruclips.net/video/pu-Z4TmeX8M/видео.html
@@jamcdona Do not cancel!! I have 2017 trailhawk - my transfer case was replaced last year under warratny. Well, i should have been smart and bought extended one but didnt. I have 51k miles and front wheel bearings are out, front struts are leaking. I believe these should have been covered in the warranty. So as long as you have Jeep - probaby better to have warranty.
Front struts are a wear item. We had a Buick SUV and GM recommended replacing struts at 50K miles.
Carguy11: Good video. However, Bosch BC1709 is the wrong part number for the dual piston brakes. It should be BC1843. Check the Bosch website.
Hmm don’t think there were different options when I installed them.
CarGuy11 I may be wrong, I’ve been checking around. The different brake options for these cars is extremely confusing. The BC1709 is for BRG brake code, while BC1843 is for “HD” which I think is BR6 brake code. I’ll call the Jeep dealer tomorrow to see if I can figure out which is correct. But yours fit just fine, right?
@@timothydavis6455 Yes I think only difference is it includes spreader spring.
@@CarGuy11 Just got back from the Jeep dealer. The BC1709 is correct for most Trailhawks. BC 1843 is indeed "HD" or break code BR6. My Trailhawk is BRG. The only way to tell which you have is to have the dealer check your VIN. BR6 and BRG use different calipers and mounting brackets so the pads are not interchangeable (according to FCA). No one seems to know what vehicle options cause BR6 brakes to be on the car. Sorry for the confusion, CarGuy is right.
I did not see you release the purge valve on the caliper. Before compressing the pistons it's always better to open the purge valve, otherwise you can bust the master cylinder!
Hmm never heard of that.
You can crack the cap of the master cylinder a little. Then tighten it back up when you're done.
Great video . i have. A 2015 jeep Cherokee latitude. And i watch your video for instructions when i change my rotors. I do have a question? Why do you have wheel spacers? Is that specific for jeep trail hawk editions? And if so. Do you think i can add that on my latitude? Im purchasing your rim style for my jeep. I like the trail hawk editions alot. Thanks bud. Coffeel from Philly area
I just like the wide stance look. I have a video on the channel about them. ruclips.net/video/P5jspgYQ-ms/видео.html
@@CarGuy11 . thanks i did nt realize. I juat seaeched google. And this video popped up. Lol. Ill watch it. Thanks man
Jeep Cherokee KL S/M/A
It looks like that wheel bearing bolt isn't tighted properly. You can see the dents from the last time it was replaced but the mechanic forgot to do new to fit the axel.
Hmm it’s been 10k plus miles. Would it make noise if so?
@@CarGuy11 No noice but the nut can be unscrewed by it self and cause major damage, thats why they lock the screw to the axel when bending the ring edge inwards. Hard to explain with my english.
Never remove the 14mm bolts to the slide pins 😂😂😂😂😂 use the 18mm bracket bolts. Then slide off the pins. Newbie
Did didnt even clean your rust jack 😂😂😂 you sir should not being doing brake jobs 😂
