Here are the simple steps to replace the rear brake pads on a Jeep Wrangler. First, lift the vehicle and remove the wheel.

Now, unscrew the bolts holding the brake caliper in place, one at the top and the other at the bottom. Once done, remove the caliper and replace the old brake pads with new ones.

Before remounting the brake caliper, ensure the piston is retracted into the caliper. You can then remount it by simply following the reverse procedure.
