How big is the brake bracket on a 2011 Jeep?
My 2011 without a doubt is a typical 6 sided bolt head, holding the caliper bracket/adapter to the steering knuckle. Hmmm, mine had a normal bolt, a big one, but a normal six sided bolt head, every picture I’ve seen has normal bolt as well? I remember somewhere between 19mm to 22mm. Do you have an SRT with the Brembo Brakes?
How big are caliper bushing pins on a jeep?
The Caliper bushing pins are allen head sockets, and use a proprietary size, none of the common sizes fit properly, but I was able to remove and install them using a 7/16″ allen key, even though it was loose in the socket I was able to get it done without damage. The next higher size, metric or standard was too big and wouldn’t fit.
When do I change the bolts on my front brakes?
The bolts must have changed in the later years, MY14 seems to be when a lot changes took place, that might be the cut-off year. Its at least 2016-2018. My 2011 without a doubt is a typical 6 sided bolt head, holding the caliper bracket/adapter to the steering knuckle.

How to remove disc brake caliper from Jeep?
Remove the disc brake caliper and adapter as an assembly and hang it out of the way using wire or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend the brake hose when doing this. Remove the rotor retaining bolt and remove the rotor from the hub and bearing.
How big are the bolts for front brakes?
Used a 12 point 16mm socket for the front bracket bolts, and a T… 50 (i think) torx for the front caliper pins. Going to need to get some new hardware next time. Gonna see if there are “normal” aftermarket replacements.
