Jeep JKU brake job

Sept 2020 – decided to combine the opposing forces of dangerous (suicidal?) and courageous (stupid?) thinking into doing my own 2013 JKU brakes. Turned out pretty good in the end.

The details, including reference vids and tools and parts used are over at my favourite Jeep forum in another posting – see link below (opens in new tab).

Pads and routers were due – pic below is from front shoes or what was left of them. Took two weekends, as I’m not the sharpest brake pad in the drawer. Embarrasingly, I struggled w/ removing some of the bolts, including one of the wheel lugnuts. You know you are in trouble w/ your brake job when you can’t even remove the tires. Youtube revealed all the secrets I needed.
