Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear brakes on this 2006 Jeep Liberty and we'll show you on the passenger side but the driver side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this are a new brake pad and rotor kit from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screwdriver, 13mm and 19mm socket and ratchet, a torque wrench, jack and jack stands, a wire brush, brake cleaner, brake grease, and a large C-clamp.
If you have a wheel cover, you want to start off by removing it. If you don't have air-powered tools you want to loosen up these 19mm lug nuts while the vehicle's on the ground. Jack the vehicle up and then remove them the rest of the way.
Check your rotor for any deep gauges or indents. Ours is actually in decent condition. Then you want to check these brake pads. You can see we have a lot of life on ours.
Now, just remove these two 13mm bolts. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry in on the caliper piston and this will make it easier to lift the caliper up and off, and now pry the caliper up, and then set it aside. Then pry out these brake pads. You just have to pry up the clips and then push them out of the caliper, and now your rotor just slides right off.
On the right, is the old rotor and brake pads. On the left, are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they're going to mount exactly the same. Using brake cleaner, just wipe down your new rotor and then apply some brake grease to the tabs on either ends of your brake pads. Use a wire brush to clean up the brake pad slides.
Now, use a large C-clamp to push the caliper piston back down into place, and as you tighten it up, we will just push the piston down flat. You want to check these caliper slides, and if there isn't enough grease on them, so they're not moving freely, just fill it up right there. Then slide your new rotor into place, and then put your brake pads into your caliper. Now, when you replace your caliper you want to push the top part in first, and then the bottom. You want to make sure at the same that the caliper is going over the slides. As you can see, right here, he's checking the sides, making sure the caliper is going to go down over those. We're going to push this into place. Then, we're just going to fast forward here, as he replaces those two 13mm bolts and tighten them up to 20 to 25 foot-pounds.
We'll fast forward as Don's replacing the wheel and those lug nuts. Then, you want to tighten them up, preliminarily lower the vehicle and tighten them up the rest of the way. Then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to a 100 foot-pounds, and if you have a wheel cover replace it.Then repeat all that for the other side. You always want to do the brakes in pairs.
Then get in, pump your brakes a bunch of times and make sure you have a good solid pedal before you go out and road test the vehicle. Also, just do stops from five to ten miles an hour. Make sure the brake's working.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front brakes on this 2006 Jeep Liberty. We show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side is a similar procedure. You'll need new brake pads and a rotor kit from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screw driver, 12mm, 19mm, and 21mm sockets, a ratchet, a torque wrench, jack and jack stands, a wire brush, brake cleaner, brake grease, and a large C-clamp.
Pry off your wheel cover if you have one, and remove the 19mm lug nuts. If you don't have air-powered tools, you want to loosen the lug nuts up while the vehicle is on the ground. Jack the vehicle up and then remove the lug nuts. Once they're removed, the wheel pulls right off. Turn your wheel so that you have better access to the brakes. Now that we got the wheel off, we can take a look at the condition of the brakes. Here, we have the rotor. What you want to do is run your finger along it, make sure that there's no excessive rust or pitting. You want to look for a ridge up here to see how much it's been worn. These are in good shape.
Now, over to the brake pads. You can look through here, and you can see that this is the material right there, and these look like they're pretty new. These are in good shape, but we're going to go ahead and replace them just to show you how it's done. Pry the rotor back. This will make it easier to get the caliper off. Now, you want to remove this 12mm bolt and this 12mm bolt. We'll fast-forward as Don does this. Now, you can pull your caliper up and off, and then wire tight in place so it doesn't swing down and hit you. Also, so it doesn't stress the brake hose. Pry your brake pads out. On the back of your caliper bracket, you'll see this 21mm bolt and this 21mm bolt. We'll just fast-forward as Don removes those, and you can see he does use a piece of pipe for some added leverage to help break them free.
Once those bolts are removed, the caliper bracket pulls right off, and so does your rotor. On the right is the old rotor and brake pads; on the left are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, the they'll mount exactly the same. Take some brake cleaner and clean off your rotor. Then, using a wire brush, clean your brake pad slides. Now, check your caliper slides to make sure they're greased up. You can see both the wires are. Now, take some brake grease and put it on the tabs on either end of your brake pads. Put your new rotor into place, put your caliper bracket back into place, and replace those two 21mm bolts. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this.
Torque both of these bolts to 85 foot-pounds. Push your new brake pads into place. Free your rotor from whatever you had halting it up, and then you want to reset the piston. What we're doing is we put an old brake pad back into the rotor, and then we use a C-clamp and tighten the C-clamp, and that pushes that piston back inside the rotor.
Now, put the caliper back in place and start those bolts back in. You may have to just push the slides in the caliper bracket to make sure that you get everything to go in correctly. Torque each of these bolts to 20 to 25 foot-pounds. Replace the wheel, replace the lug nuts, and you want to tighten them preliminarily. Lower the vehicle, tighten them the rest of the way, and then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to 100 foot-pounds.
If you have a wheel cover, replace it. Very important, before road testing the vehicle, get in, pump the brakes. After you do brake work, you should feel that it will be soft but you pump them a few times and they'll firm up and then do test stops from five and ten miles an hour before taking your vehicle out on the road.
