RE: HOW TO - REPLACE JEEP BRAKES!
Nice to see other people who fix their own stuff.
May I make one suggestion though. I would not put any type of grease on any part of the brakes (except for the landing pads on drum brakes). grease attracts dirt and and tiny pebbles. If you have to use anything then use anti-sieze and only use a very tiny amount.
Also make sure you torque those bolts down to the specified torque settings in your manual. Not tight enough and things will come loose, too tight and you will put too much stress on the bolts and they will break when you need them most!
Other than that, nice job.
Yeah, 50% of mechanics use grease on pads, other 50% don't. Personal preference I guess, but I always use a small amount of lube.
Torque is a very good point, I've seen then outcome of both! Glad to see another person in the field on here. Best of luck, gave you a follow.
