I have removed 100's of the rear discs from ZJs & KJs. You need the specialty e brake cable tool for the KJ but a 13mm will work on the ZJ. Discount the e brake cable from the backing plate & slip the boxed in part over the end & spring. Then just work it out. Bring a 13mm ratchet wrench. It tackles alot of bolts used. I highly suggest a electric impact. My best time was 30 minutes to remove a complete set. I've only broken 5 or 6 of the center bolts. All of them have been 5/16 or 1/4.

You say grab the wiring to retain your ABS. I have a 99 XJ with a Dana 35 with ABS already. Do I need to take any of the ABS stuff from the Grand Cherokee? I got near-perfect backing plates with 4 bolts behind them off a 97 Grand at the junkyard and brand-new calibers off a 95 (same junkyard) this past week. I need to go back to see about getting the lug bolts and as far as the portioning valve, I only need the spring right? Forgot that part too. Remember how crusty your metal pieces were for the parking brake? These are still shiny metal and no rust on either backing plate. Feel blessed.

Love this video! I would like to do this same swap to my 98 Wrangler Tj with a rear D35. Do you foresee any issues or things I should watch for in my swap? I will also not be using the ABS and was wanting your prospective on the Prop valve swap? I have read on forums that its not necessary if not using ABS and the standard Prop Valve is fine but not sure?

Dana 44a rear discs will work on the Dana 35 as well, I am not 100% sure but you may need to grind out the center on the 44 for an 8.25 too. I did the swap on my 98 TJ years ago using the 44a brackets on my turdy5. Will be doing the 8.25 soon- oh and you can use KJ rear discs on the XJ 8.25 with no mods from what I have read on the forums.

@ProjectDanH

thanks for watching brother 💪. yes you need the proportioning valve from a ZJ with rear disk brakes for your conversion. drum brakes have a proportioning valve that sends more fluid to the rear brakes... so if you don't change it, your new rear brakes will get too much brake fluid and they will lock up on you and make the vehicle skid.
