How to Remove and Replace a Rear Brake Pads on Jeep Compass?

The best way to replace the rear brake pads is to first position the vehicle on firm and stable support. Restoring or changing the rear brake pads is necessary when you hear howling or moaning when backing up in reverse. First, take out the wheel mounting nuts and the entire tire and wheel. You might have to pull out the piston slightly so that the pads are far enough from the rotor to let the caliper be removed from the knuckle; at this step, ensure you don't push on the piston and instead pull on its rear while working with the guide pins. After that, take out the lower guide pin bolt from the brake caliper to ensure you don't harm or stretch the flexible hose as you lift the caliper. Lift the caliper upward to show the pads, then use wire or a bungee cord to hold it in place. Take off the inboard brake by lifting the brake pad retaining clip and remove the outboard brake by prying it straight out.

How to Properly Install Brake Pads on Each Side on Jeep Compass?

Make sure to follow the below instructions on both sides of the vehicle and then move to the final step. If audible wear indicators are installed, position them toward the upper part of the brakes when you install the inboard pads. It is important to first attach the brake pads with the wear indicator on the inboard side into the abutment shims within the brake caliper adapter bracket. Back the caliper piston all the way, but take care not to crush or puncture the boots as you fit the caliper onto the adapter bracket. Be sure that the guide pin bolt with a special sleeve goes inside the upper mounting hole when installing them. Place the caliper guide pin bolt holes from the caliper arm onto the adapter bracket and screw in both the upper and lower caliper guide pin bolts, tightening them to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.). After that, fit the tire and wheel to the car and make sure the wheel mounting nuts are tightened to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Drop your vehicle down and repeatedly press the brake pedal to help engage the brake pads. Verify and top up the amount of brake fluid as required and then take the vehicle for a drive, making several stops to clear away built-up dirt and help place the brake pads where they should be.

The Brake Pads of the Jeep Compass helps in stopping the vehicle through friction that converts the energy into heat. The backing plate of each pad is made of steel and the friction compound is molded, bonded, or riveted on the backing plate and pressed by the caliper against the rotor. Each rotor can work with two types of Brake Pads. The contact of these Brake Pads transfers a thin layer of material on the surface of the disc. This results in reliable grip. Braking, on a gradual basis, wears the lining. Therefore, Jeep Compass owners should replace the Brake Pads when the remaining thickness approaches the specified minimum. Multiple Compass designs come with electronic wear sensors, while some of the pads include built-in indicators which touch the rotor and generate an audible warning noise. The brake pad friction material has been designed for common driving applications such as commuting and relaxed cruising; they help to avoid overheating and fade under regular usage. Materials can be non-metallic, semi-metallic, metallic or ceramic, each type offers a balance of stopping power, durability and noise control in Compass applications. The brake components of the Jeep facilitate consistent deceleration, while the Brake Pads aid the Jeep vehicle in maintaining predictable stopping distance.
