Guide to Replacing Brake Pads

Model: Jeep Wrangler MK 2, TJ - Years 1997-2007
Part: Brake pads

This guide is a simple tool to help those who want to replace the brake pads on their car. You mainly need patience and passion. First, remove the bolts with a 17 mm spanner and take off the wheel. Then, extract the caliper by pulling it towards the outside of the car. Once the caliper is removed, you can replace the pads. There is only one way to fit the pads, and it is very easy to figure out. Position the new pads and insert the caliper back into its seat, reattach the hex screws and the clip by inserting it into the hole, then push it in with a small screwdriver.
