tools to replace front disc brakes
Hi,
I was wondering if somebody could tell me what tools I need to replace the
pads on my front discs.
I have a '98 Grand Cherokee, and I'd like to make sure I have the right
stuff before I start. This is my first Jeep, but I've replaced a lot of
brakes on my previous cars. Some of them required odd sizes of star bits.
Thanks!

Just the standard stuff and a big *** C clamp to push the piston back in.
(remember to take loosen the lid on the brake fluid container first so it
doesn't burp) Use the old pad to push the piston back in.
Clean, lube and check the carrier bolts for wear.

Other than being all metric, it's pretty standard. ;-P
