I’m an idiot... just realized that I put the left caliper on the right and vice versa. I’m likely getting air trapped since I’m not bleeding from the top. 🤬

 

I do believe your assessment of the situation is Correct.. More Work.

 

Imagine that, swap the calipers, bleed the brakes and try again. Works like a charm!

It’s almost scary how good the brakes are. At 50 mph without really fully slamming on the brakes, the Jeep stops incredibly fast and I can feel the tires grabbing the road for dear life.

I can say that for me at least I’m more than happy with the crown front and dynatrac rear bbk’s. I originally thought about using the z36 for the rear but ended up not since I didn’t want any small rocks getting caught in the slotted/drilled rotors.

Sorry, no pics. I worked really fast this morning and the other day to get this done. This is a great example of why taking your time and doing it right the first time is important. There’s never time to do it right the first time but always time to do it right the second time. 😂😂

 

Well Said Grasshopper... We just did the Fronts.. kept the Rear Stock.. like you much better .

 

I just saw my email alert and was literally about to type "I know this is a dumb question for you, but you have both the bleed valves pointing up right?"

We all, or most of us rather, make dumb mistakes from time to time.

 

I was afraid to do just the front because I didn’t want to have the front brakes having all the stopping power, I wanted a more balanced system. How do yours feel? You feel like the rear brakes are doing much?

Haha, yea... The funny thing is when I was bleeding the brakes the first time I was in such a rush that while working with the calipers it didn’t dawn on me that the nipples were on the bottom.

 

THANK YOU!!!!! I PUT THE CALIPERS ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!!

 

ME TOO! WRONG SIDE

 

Hey Hill, welcome to the forum I see you put calipers on the wrong side (nipple down) my question if performing a regular brake job , there is no reason to disconnect the caliper from the the brake line, why did you have to do that ? you can retract the pucks into caliper with a C clamp or big channel lock pliers, and the pads just slip into place. So, I don't understand the need to remove the calipers totally ?

 

I changed front rotors, calipers, and pads to the larger JL kit.
