    FYI, Install caliper by position notches at lower end of brake shoes on bottom mounting ledge. Then rotate caliper over rotor and seat notches at upper end of shoes on top mounting ledge

    Black Magic Brakes are worth the cost. I've used mrblaine's pads when I had 31s and now I have his big brake kit and pads for my 35s. Steering and braking are two places I don't look to save a dollar.

    13:30...Are ya now...better use lube first. LOL! Sorry I couldn't resist. Thanks for sharing your install.
  • Where can I buy that torque meter?😂 Thanks for the information man!

    So it has been 20 months since the brake job. Have the Black Magic brake pads shown to be worth the double price tag? If you were to do another brake job like this would you use the same parts or go back with OEM pads?
  • @rmat9023
    why change the calipers tho? Why trust some 30 dollar made in Chyna caliper over the OEM ones made in the USA?

    black magic brakes seem to have shot up in price since this was recorded... the 16" brake kit is now $1,566 and it's not even in stock. my level of know-how stops at turning bolts, tugging/hitting things, and pouring (spilling) fluids... any way you could help me track down links to upgrade the brakes on my TJ? I'm running 35s with the potential for 37s in the future so i kinda felt forced to go with the kit, but if there's another way, I'm extremely interested.
  • You put the pads on upside down. The forks go to the bottom - not top.
