What is the name of that spreader tool. How much is it and where can I get one? Also, are the brakes on this jeep similar to those on a Dodge Nitro?

[roadragecustoms]

@bonjbrown That is a disc brake pad spreader. I bought it from Matco Tools.  It was around $20.00.

I'm wondering if there are any tips for getting the rotors off if they are stuck.

Thanks.

@tribeofsix1 If you are removing it to replace it, use a big hammer & penetrating oil. If you want it machined or are removing it for some other reason, use a big mallet or a hammer & a block of wood so you don't damage the rotor.

I have a question for you....I see when you compress the caliper piston to allow room for the new pads you don't open the bleeder screw (I do the same). I've heard that forcing the fluid back through the system can harm the ABS components or master cylinder. Has that ever happened to you?

[roadragecustoms]

@founditnow54 I've been fussed at a ton for that habit. You aren't supposed to do that. There were a few years of GM trucks that supposedly had issues with ABS after a brake job if the bleeder was closed. I have never had a problem with it & I've done many GMs. I wonder if the vehicles already had issues & the brake job magnified it, or if the person doing it forced the piston in really fast?

I just replaced my pads and I get no compression on them now. I have pumped the breaks a bunch but am not sure how long I should expect to have to do it. I loosened the fluid nut on the back buy mistake but have re tightened those and am not leaking fluid is there a chance I got air in and have to bleed the line?

Thank you for posting this video! I never knew doing the brake pads was this simple. Cost me 30 bucks to do it myself! I'll never take it to a mechanic for brake pads again.
