changing front brake padstake off the tire. then find your brake calipers. look behind the calipers which hold the pad to the rotors you will see either a top and bottom bolt or a big Allen wrench head. take off the top and the bottom bolts this will cause the brake caliper to come to come off. Gently take off the caliper-remove the pads then with a large c-clamp place it in the metal cup located on one side of the caliper the other side of the c-clamp on the back turn the cup in until flush.NOTE!( open hood and take the top of the brake fluid holder) then continue with turning the cup in until it is fluch with the side of the caliper then replace brake pad. same way on other side. (MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ROTORS OFF AND HAVE THEM TURNED OR REPLACED BEFORE PUTTIN GNEW PADS. then refill brake fluid holding device in hodd area and bleed brakes using another person to pump the brakes. To bleed brakes ,within hearing distance and vehicle started have hte person pump the brakes three times and hold them,then release the brake fluid with the bleeder valve then tighten it again. make sure your buddy does not let up pressure on pedal until you have the bleeder valve tightened. then do this until you do not see any bubbles most time it takes threes times. keep a check on reservior or brake fluid holding device. fill as necessary. any questions e-mail me at eaglebear77@Yahoo.com

if you don't take the brake line off the caliper, the system remains sealed (no chance of air getting in) so bleeding the brakes is a redundant step. Just remove caliper, remove reservoir cap under hood, push piston back in, clean up calipers, install new pads (+ rotors if you have em) re-install caliper and tighten accordingly, put wheel back on, and take it for a drive. A few light stops, and then a few heavier stops, which will properly seat the new pads. yer done.

How do you change the front brake pads on a 98 grand Cherokee Laredo?

Buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee Manual would be your best bet, but in a short version to install the front brake pads or any other brake pads. Jack up the jeep block the wheels, put jack stands underneith the axle you are working on, take the tire off, once off set the tire half way under the rock gaurd. Unbolt your brake caliber which is two bolts from inbehind the rotor, once bolts are out, take off brake caliber slowly. there is two brake pads left and right pull them out then do reverse of what you just did to take them out.... Good Luck


How do you change the parking brake pads for a 2005 Jeep grand Cherokee and is the parking brake needed?

The parking brake pads are the same brake pads that stop your vehicle when you apply the brake petal. This is a mechanical system instead of a hydraulic one and so, yes, the parking break is needed in the event that the hydraulic system fails or in case you should have to change the tire. The last thing you want is to park on a hill and come out and find your vehicle at the bottom. Get it fixed at a reputable brake repair shop.
