I did the brakes on my GF’s old 97 grand Cherokee a year or two ago and everything was very straightforward. on the maybe 10 different cars Ive done brake changes on… Theres always one stupiding fucking bolt, or a dust shield that all of the sudden rubs, or a piston that won’t go back or a stuck glide pin… Every bolt cracked off easy, nothing gave me any sort of trouble ---

The only thing that gave me a little trouble on hers was the rear rotor was stuck like a bastard. 8lb sledge fixed that pretty quickly though. ---
