I am going to use this video to change my own breaks and rotors. Thank you so much for making this video Jim
That damn O ring that most nobody knew about until it was too late has been the reason for many a hammer being thrown at an absolute minimum and for that reason alone this video is extremely valuable and for that I must sub.
most do it your selfers such as myself never knew about that little stinker until . . . .Jeus Christ why will this thing just not come off !
Though my rotor was permanently stuck or
Something this video really helped a lot I appreciate I
I was 12 when my Grandpa let me help him change the brake pads and rotors on his CJ6. That was a good day.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent video ! Super thorough. If doing this at home, use car chucks or brick your tires - make sure the car is in neutral so you can spin the rotors when loosening/removing and make sure emergency brake is not engaged.
Jimthecarguy! Thanks to you I just finished up doing the rear brakes on a 2008 Grand Cherokee. Following your detailed instruction made it so much easier and saved me $420 dollars! Really appreciate your efforts!
Norman Anderson great job I'm happy to help thanks for watching
Thank you Sir for your time to show everyone the proper way of doing these types of brakes....
I recommend sanding the hub around the rotor where the o ring sits this will make it a little easier to remove the rotor, also I would use a dead blow hammer they have sand or similar material inside the hammer it's designed so it does not bounce like a steel hammer and is less likely to damage the rotor, they are usually made from a hard plastic and won't cost you a fortune 😉
What a great video! Super thorough and articulate. Thank you.
Great video . I learned a lot. Thank you. Great Technique.
Excellent job Jim, as always!
Thank you for the great advice and instruction.
Thanks very helpful, luv your VDO 👍👍
Great video sir, thanks for your help 🙏🏽
Thank you your vid helped out a lot.

Hi Dave thank you for watching and for subscribing.Wow 30 years I'm sure you have seen all the changes just like me.Live stream tonight at 7:00 PM.i hope you stop by.Jim
Appreciate the vidieos very helpful..
Excellent video! Very Professional and helpful. What about the parking brake rubbing the rotor?
Great video. very precise
I'm happy to help.Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. Next time I am doing my own breaks.
Thanks for watching
hey Jim great video thank you very much what was unclear by the video was when replacing the rear caliper assembly if that top clip on the top of the caliper is supposed to snap back up on the inside of the caliper Mount or should it remain depressed underneath the edge of the pad I could not see and I am not sure if mine is bent...thanks
Hi Jimmy, thank you for are the videos. Do you think you could do some vids on the GM's 2 different emergency brakes, the U shape and the screw in type??? Thank You !!!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Got it done thanks to you sir!
Glad I could help
Can you turn the rotors and use new pads or do you need a new rotor too ?
I have changed my own brakes on every automobile i have owned. Soon on a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. I like the fact that its 13mm bolts instead of L key heads of the bolts. You didn't mention taking brake fluid reservoir cap off first and leaving the e brake off.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Ok so brake shoe and rotor have rusted together and my rotor doesnt want to cone off, im seeing the brake shoe move with rotor. What should i do?
Leave it to jeep to make a weird rear brake setup, lol. Im like..."an o-ring? Why, what for?...what the hell are these damn long metal clips on these brake pads for? Why did this rear rotor set come with 4 long metal brackets..what is going on here!? Damn Jeep"🤣🤣
Was gonna just do em like I did on my Ford Edge - which doesn't have those 4 long brackets that the pads slide onto at all, they just clip in like the fronts. The caliper on there looks exactly like the front calipers, except 1 piston instead of 2 . And the brake pads don't have those metal clips on them that need to be depressed to get the caliper off.
Cause I looked at my mother's rear calipers and was confused at what was going on, haha. Thanks for the video! Glad I watched it before doing them on her 06 Grand Cherokee. Thanks for specifically showing the rears! Other videos I've seen atleast just show the fronts, which is normal like most cars. Then you get to these outer space rears🤦 haha. Thanks again!
A+ on the NY accent. You sound like me, except I'd be adding some choice words in there lol
Just wondering why do you push the piston in with a prybar before taking the caliper off the rotor? To give you the room so it's easier to slide the caliper off?
I usually just remove the caliper, the old pads, and then push the piston back in after the caliper is already off the old rotor. I'm not saying it's wrong at all! I'm just wondering if you're supposed to do it that way with these jeep calipers? Or is that just how you've always done it?
Thanks!
That damn o ring got me! Thank you!!!
10:40 "Lemme just grab a _Smaller_ hammer."
I think that's the first time I've ever heard a mechanic say that. :D
Hahaha your right "grab a smaller hammer"most of the time it is get the sledge hammer.
Great info, thank you! Going to change front and back on my 2005 WK this week. Do you know the torque spec for the 13mm caliper bolts?
Toby Howard according to the manual it's 18 foot pounds
for a 2007
@@bethanyalberter2068 Thank you!
Jim,
An excellent tutorial! It is much appreciated. Where did you get the pad compression tool? I haven't seen that design offered anywhere.
Joe
It's not a compression tool. It is a welding clamp that he used to compress the caliper piston.
EXCELLENT
Thank you! Cheers!
Here's a trick I just learned. Instead of beating the rotor off, get a longer bolt and thread it into the caliper mount from the back. tighten it against the rotor until it pops off.
Genius 👍
Should you remove the cover where you add the brake fluid before you try pushing the pads back?
Doesn't matter.
Have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with no transmission dip stick.. why is that ?..would like to change the fluid but I don’t think I they want you to.. thanks
Its a stick left of engine by the wall coming out at a angle and there is no release bolt so to change fluid u will need a t30 unscrew the screws replace the filter. And seal
Where can I get an O ring ?
Hello why u don't adjust rear brake shoe?
what's the tool you used to push the brake pads even more apart?
I was able to use a c-clamp and squished them all the way back to original position
What are the torque specs ?
What would you do if the emergency brake pads are stopping the rotor from coming off?
If the parking brakes are keeping the rotor from coming off you will need to back off the adjuster for the brakes. I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching
very good but please dont hang the caliper assembly by its line
Cringed
Watched the whole video he never did this lol. It was sitting on the suspension
Thanks for a nice video. Very detailed and well done. Can you comment on adjusting the parking brake? Doesn't that need to be done whenever you put on new rotors? I'd like to know how it is done on a Jeep GC WK (I have an 07). It would be even more helpful to see a video on changing the parking brake shoes! I suspect mine are bad (haven't pulled the rotors yet to check) and I have yet to see a good video on what is involved.
I just now saw your video "How to replace the parking brake shoes on a 2003 Ford Explorer". Is the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee the same?
Good video except for the fact that you let the caliper hang by the hydraulic line. That is a big no no. I always keep a bungee cord in my toolbox.
Actually the caliper was not hanging it was sitting on suspension. Thanks for watching. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.
What is the tool you uses called to push the piston in? I can't find one like that and I need it in my life. Thank you
I do a live stream on Sunday night I will talk about this on my jimthecarguy show tonight at 7:00 PM (EST).I hope you can stop by.
I got mine at advance auto parts just say you need the tool to push in the brake pads and they automatically know what your talking about that's what I said and they knew right away.
Well, they have multiple styles on Amazon and you can buy one at Harbor Freight for $7.00
It’s called a brake pad spreader, they come in different shapes & sizes but all of them have the same purpose of pushing the piston back into its slot
Am I the only the that can't get the rear calibers back on after installing a new rotor and new brake shoes. The don't seem to fit? The front was easy, the rear, not so much.
when I know I have to do rear brakes, I go for a test drive and stop using the e brake to break that rust ridge from the rotor.
Thank you for pointing that out .I will mention it on my live stream tonight at 7:00 PM (EST) on jimthecarguy.I hope you can stop by.If you do make sure that you let me know your there.Jim
14:30 caliper slide pins
Thanks a lot please speak slowly I don’t get very good
Good job
Not sure why you think the o ring is required to be put back on... It makes sense on the assembly line, but not in the backyard garage!
Good question. It will keep road debris and rusting of the rotor by the axle
He says lubricate the pad's do not in any case lubricate the pad's only the slides on which the pad's move side to side, never the rotor or pad's this could be better explained to the inexperienced 😒🙄
Thank you!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you
You're welcome
