I didnt really do a write-up, but you get the idea..

Its best to take the tire off so you can get to the plug and adjust it easily..

Image

Make sure the rotor turns easily to begin with..

Take this little plug out to get to the star wheel:

Image

On BOTH sides, the wheel needs to be turned up..

Pull the E-brake handle up 3 clicks.

Turn the star wheel until you feel some drag on the rotor but do not tighten it until the rotor will not turn..

Image

Release the handle an check for drag.. Put the plug back in and put the wheel back on. Again, check for drag by turning the wheel.. There should be some drag which is normal.. Just not enough to stop the wheel as soon as you stop turning it.. repeat on the other side.. Be sure to click the Ebrake handle again 3 clicks for the other side..

:)

New Impact wrench.. I wanted the dewalt but sears didnt carry it anymore..

Image

I bought those impact sockets for $20 at autozone.. They seem to work great!!

Well, I went back to the dealer today, armed with Gentleman's FSM info, and they still tried to weasel out of fixing the e-brakes under warranty. They also still insisted that the e-brake for disk brake KJs was manually adjusted ONLY, despite showing them that the manual indicates that they are auto-adjust. They then came up with some crap about brakes only being covered under warranty for 12,000 miles...WTF??

Any suggestions?

When I was having an issue with the rear brake moan I had a service manager tell me that at 12,000 miles I could stop complaining because the warranty would be over on brakes, well Jeep came out with a tsb to solve the moan and I made sure to visit the service manager personally and bring him a copy of the tsb which he claimed he did not have, I asked him since I had over 12,000 miles was he going to ignore the tsb, from that point he has become the nicest person I have ever met, all dealers are jerks
