| Quick Back rotor change questions |
|
I'm about to change out my rear rotors and pads and I have a few questions.
1. do both rear wheels have to be jacked up and on axle stands at same time
2. do I need to adjust epb after even if I don't replace them?
3. If yes, is it easy to do? I've been reading Bodsy brake bible and just wanted to clarify, to loosen the ratchet I will push down on ratchet away from spring and tighten push up towards spring, right? Narpy's Grill Mod, Suspension Rods, Ultra guage, wrangler Goodyear duratracs 265/60/18, new thermostat, diff oils changed, brake switch new, aluminum rack floor, LED driving lights in foglights, rear camera, just need gvif unit, next on list! New front arb bushings, new front valve block, 191,000 miles.

1. Easier to have both in the air, but if not, then after youve checked that the wheels on the ground are sufficiently chocked, then you can do one wheel at a time. The car needs to be in Neutral (remove the plastic behind the EPB or in your case, possibly the rubber tray and feel your way towards the gear D position. Feel for a small plastic catch that you lift up in order to get the car from Park to neutral without having to put the key in)
2. yes, adjust epb when having new disks or shoes, in fact i'd be adjusting EPB shoes each time the rear wheels need to come off
3. Yes, very straight forward. On the other side, it will be the opposite as it's upside down 
TBH I cant remember which way tightens and which way loosens, but you'll soon figure it out if your going the wrong way.  Bodsys Brake Bible
