REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER
Removal & Installation
Caliper removal and installation procedures are same as for
disc pad replacement. To remove caliper from vehicle, disconnect brake
line at caliper and cap hole to prevent contamination.
DISC BRAKE PADS
Removal
1) Drain 2/3 of brake fluid from master cylinder reservoir.
Raise vehicle and support with safety stands. Remove front wheel
assembly.
2) Place "C" clamp on caliper. Solid end of clamp should
contact back of caliper. Screw end should contact metal part of
outboard shoes.
3) Tighten "C" clamp until caliper forces piston to bottom of
bore. Remove both Allen head mounting bolts and lift caliper off
rotor. Support caliper out of the way.
4) On Grand Wagoneer, remove both brake pads from caliper.
Note spring position and support spring from inboard shoe. Remove
sleeves and bushings from caliper.
5) On all other models, hold anti-rattle clip against caliper
adapter and remove outer brake pad. Remove inner brake pad and anti-
rattle clip from caliper adapter.
Installation
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. On Grand Wagoneer,
lubricate new bushings, sleeves, bushing grooves, and small ends of
mounting bolts with silicone lubricant. Install rubber bushings in
caliper mounting ears.
2) On all other models, clean caliper mating surfaces on
adapter with a wire brush. Apply double sided adhesive tape to back
side of inner pad. Clean caliper piston surface. Lubricate caliper
mating surfaces on caliper adapter.
3) On all models, lubricate caliper mounting bolts using
brake corrosion lubricant and tighten mounting bolts. Add brake fluid
to reservoir. Apply brakes until brake pedal is firm. Check brake
fluid level.
DISC BRAKE ROTOR - WRANGLER
Removal
Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheel and caliper.
Suspend caliper from frame or suspension. Remove rotor from hub.

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section.
All gasoline engine equipped models use group 58 batteries
with 390 or 475 amp cold crank rating. Models with 2.1L Turbo Diesel
engine use group 24 batteries with a 815 amp cold crank rating.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BATTERY WARNING
WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
DIESEL FUEL ANTI-FUNGAL ADDITIVES
CAUTION: If fuel contamination due to fungi or other microorganisms is
suspected a fuel additive with a biocide may be used. Follow
the manufacturers dosage as recommended on product label. Use
biocides ONLY when necessary, excessive use can may cause
other fuel system problems.
DIESEL FUEL CONTAMINATION
WARNING: Diesel fuel system may be contaminated with fungi or other
microorganisms. Keep contaminated fuel away from open skin
cuts or sores to prevent skin irritation or infection.
DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: All diesel engines are to use Diesel Fuel #2 when the outside
temperature is above 20\bF (-7\bC). In temperatures that are
below 20\bF (-7\bC) use Diesel Fuel #1, this will reduce the
chance of the fuel thickening and forming wax.
Note: A Diesel Fuel #1 & #2 combination (Blended Fuel) may be\
used, and is recommended for mild winter driving.

REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
CAUTION: If BRAKE warning light is on with parking brake disengaged
and engine running, there may be a problem in the hydraulic
brake system. Braking effort, brake pedal travel and
stopping distances may increase.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
To prevent catalytic converter overheating, DO NOT allow
engine to idle for more than 20 minutes.
COMMAND-TRAC (4WD)
CAUTION: NEVER operate a Command-Trac vehicle in 4WD on dry,
hard-surfaced roads for a sustained period. Use 4L only
when needed for added pulling power. Operating vehicle in
4WD mode on such roads will cause stress and possible
damage to components, as well as make shifting difficult.
To reduce shifting effort, drive vehicle in Reverse for a
few feet, or drive off hard-surfaced road momentarily to
allow tire slippage.
FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS (4WD)
CAUTION: DO NOT use water, steam, kerosene or gasoline for flushing
a differential. ONLY use a flushing oil.
TRAC-LOK DIFFERENTIALS (4WD)
CAUTION: DO NOT flush a rear axle Trac-Lok differential. Trac-Lok
differentials may be cleaned only by disassembling the
unit and wiping the components with clean, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION: NEVER attempt to engage Low range when vehicle is moving
faster than 2-3 MPH, as transfer case damage may result.
GASOLINE CONTAINING ALCOHOL
CAUTION: Exclusive use of gasohol is not recommended. Vehicle test
results have shown that significant fuel system corrosion
can result when gasohol is used exclusively.
