  Q: How to Remove and Replace a Front Brake Rotor on Jeep Patriot?

  A:

  Before you remove the front brake rotor, you should get the vehicle up and support it. After that, take out the wheel mounting nuts and remove the tire and wheel assembly together. It might help if you retract the caliper piston a bit so the pads and rotor have enough space to let the caliper slide off without problem; do this by pulling the caliper away from the outer part of the knuckle while using its guides, not directly pushing the piston. After that, remove the two bolts that join the disc Brake Caliper and adapter bracket to the Steering Knuckle, then pull them both off the rotor together, securely hanging them out of the way so you don't stretch the brake hose. Once done, take out the clips still connecting the brake rotor to the wheel studs and move the brake rotor off the hub and bearing.

  Q: How to Remove and Replace a Rear Brake Rotor on Jeep Patriot?

  A:

  First, make sure your rear wheels are supported and blocked. After that, remove the three wheel bolts and put the tire and wheel assembly aside. You may find it simpler to pull back the caliper piston with the guide pins so that enough space forms between the rotor and pads for caliper removal from the knuckle. A second step is to take out the lower guide pin bolt from the disc Brake Caliper. Mind your movements when raising the rear brake caliper since flex hose damage could occur if you pull too hard. Rotate the caliper 90 degrees up and tie it in this place using wire or a bungee cord. Take off the pieces holding the brake rotor to the wheel studs and gently pull the rotor away from the hub and bearing.
