How to Replace the Rear Brake Pads on a Jeep Wrangler

Model: Jeep Wrangler MK 3, JK - Years 2007-2018
Part: Brake pads

To replace the rear brake pads on a Jeep Wrangler, lift the car so that the corresponding rear wheel is not in contact with the ground. This allows you to undo the bolts securing the wheel in its housing, completely removing it to access the underlying components. You will find the brake caliper that needs to be removed by unscrewing the relevant fixing bolts. Once the caliper is removed, slide out the old pads and replace them with new ones, then reassemble all previously removed components.
