brakes

Hey I was looking for ant info on doing a brake job on an 06 Commander. Is there anything I need to be aware of? This is the first Jeep I've worked on, so I'm not familiar with them, but I have done plenty of other brake jobs. Just looking for any info that will help. Thanks

No one has any input on this? Do any of you who own a Jeep do any of your own work?

Re: brakes

If it has anti lock it may be hard to bleed. Sometimes a scan tool maybe required. Some times a tool {search OTC-7853} look at picture. I haven't done this year jeep so I'm not sure. I would check a manual if your doing it for a fee or your own.

Re: brakes

In the 5 years I've had my Jeep Ive done two break jobs. You can do it yourself or take it in. Total simplicity.
